D&D General D&D Fan Expo: London Main Show Is Coming This August

On Saturday, August 22nd, the O2 Arena in London will host the D&D Fan Expo. This event features interactive elements, panels, and special guests.

Tickets go live at 10am on Friday, 6th March. A presale on Wednesday, 4th March will be open to subscribers of the AEG Presents newsletter (which you can sign up for on the site).

The event spans two days. On Friday, 21st August, D7D Atual play group The High Rollers will perform live in the Indigo at the O2. And then on the Saturday, the main event takes place in the O2 Arena, as Dungeon Master Jasmine Bhullar puts a group of actors through their paces.

There will also be panels, Q&As, performances, gaming tables, and traders, although information on those has not been released yet.

AXS, a ticket seller, is using an old Tiamat design as the logo for this event. Probably just a placeholder, but just an interesting note.

I wonder if this becomes something they do stateside if it goes well overseas. I’d love to go, but making a trip to London for this isn’t exactly in the range of my budget.

So its a live actual play event not an x crawl style arena battle.

Why didn't I even consider half the reason this is being held in London is so they can get a good chunk of the BG3 cast.

No offense to my UK cousins, but I'm surprised it's not over here anyway. Not that it would make it any easier for me to attend. It would probably be on the East or West coasts.

D&D already has a big presence over there. This sort of thing is about expansion, not consolidation.

I also assume it is being run by a UK-based team, not a US-based one.

Maybe so, but who is it going to draw that isn't already into the brand? It's marketing sure, but I don't see it as a something that would bring in throngs of the uninitiated.

I'm going to keep an eye on this, only for the traders nothing more.
