D&D General More performances and panelists revealed for D&D Fan Expo in London

Earlier this year, the official D&D Fan Expo at London's 02 Arena was announced. The two-day event is set for Friday 21st-Saturday 22nd, and will feature interactive elements, panels, and special guests.

D&D Actual play group The High Rollers were announced back in February for the Friday, and Dungeon Master Jasmine Bhullar is running a game on the Saturday on stage in the main arena.

A bunch of new British appearances have just been announced, including YouTube influencer D&D Shorts, the London D&D venue RPG Taverns, podcasters Roll Britannia, live-players It's Your Role, and miniature painter (as in a painter of miniatures, not a tiny painter) Johnny Ghiodini.

You can get tickets for D&D Fan Expo in London here.

The person listed as the featured presenter in the graphic on the story you wrote is DnD Shorts who admitted to all of the above during the OGL scandal

Well I guess I missed all that drama!

Alright, I'll bite: I must have been living under a rock, but I honestly do not know: what is this alleged 'DnD Shorts controversy' that people are supposedly referring to here ?

Must be one of these 2 I guess.

He seems to be disliked by all.

And to think my takeaway here was that the orc paladin from the 2024 PHB would fit right in with this lineup.

(On second thought, she probably wouldn't.)

Thanks for the links, I'll watch them later when I have some more time.

He seems to be disliked by all.

Not so sure about the 'disliked by all' part though: he seems to have just finished a kickstarter that raised over $4,000,000.

There is an old saying about someone "and their money are soon parted", and Kickstarter seems to be the proof of it. Caveat emptor.

Do you think new titles will be announced in Expo London? Telling about season of champions or like this. It could be a good oportunity to say something about DS.

Not sure what you are implying here, but: The same guy previously did another kickstarter before that one and raised over $3,000,000 for it, and people seem quite pleased with it.

He does look exactly like the kind of person who could raise four million for an Eastern-flavoured 5e supplement.

 

[timbannock]

Whatever my thoughts on the guy, IIRC he got his start largely in finding "killer combos" and class builds, and that appeals to a MONSTROUSLY HUGE segment of the 5E D&D YouTube audience. I know more people interested in that than in Critical Role, anecdotally. And his videos still get extremely high view rates, so he's obviously got a built-in audience that is just barely below D&D's official YouTube viewership.
