[QUOTE="Nacho Man, post: 6110110, member: 6723802"] Hi Tylermalan UKGE has a mixture of all games types so you will find it very easy to meet up with gamers and enjoy a full weekend. Many people have cut their convention teeth at UKGE and there are lots of things to help you get started. RPGS - You can pre-book these on the website. Register an account first - click customer login and then register - There are a couple of hundred games being run over the weekend so you should find something to suit. Living games allow you to create a Character that you can play and develop at other conventions. These include LFR and the pathfinder PFS adventures. The GM's will sort you a character out at the con. Some companies like triple Ace do run 1 hour tasters of their new products on their stand and they are all available to chat to you about what you like (one of the great things about a convention - meeting the people who make the games) Boardgames - pretty much all the boardgame publishers run demo tables of their latest games in the trade halls. That way you can either walk up and play or book a game at a later time. Good way to meat new gamers. If you want more of a challenge you can play in one of the organised tournaments for boardgames. Again good way to get to know gamers. On the evenings there is open gaming space and we will be using a flag/cone system this year which allows players looking for extra players to put a flag/cone on their table letting you know they are looking for extra players. Miniatures - because you need the figures these tend to be much more for those players who come ready to play, but X-Wing is easy to play and has a great 1st prize. CCG's - There are several CCG tournaments running this year including the great netrunner. Several companies are running CCG demo games you can play in on their stands so if you haven't played before great way of learning how to play. Their are costume groups and walk demo games of all sorts being run by companies and local gaming clubs. everyone is happy to chat so the best advice I can give is throw yourself in and it won't be long before you have made a bunch of new friends. If you are stuck then look for the Expo ambassadors - These ladies in blue expo shirts are there specifically to help new attendees find stuff to play and do. we know that it can be intimidating. The front desk and ticketing desk will also give you any help you need. . I'm sure if you come you will have a good time, if you do don't forget to give me a shout and say hello.
