At the end of May 2026, we went to UK Games Expo and enjoyed the delights of gaming, shopping and chatting. In this episode we give you a blow by blow account of the event, if you want it or not.

A Prefab Sprout game is played using the contents of Pookie’s convention sack, you can see more of his un-bagging over at the Nook.

We want to give a big thanks to Orlanth Rex for organising the Shadow Con. Dirk also appeared on a recent panel talking about ‘difficult’ settings. You can find it here.

Our guest in this episode is Laurence Phillips talking about his game Il Fantasma del Giallo – a magical realist game taking inspiration from the Giallo cinema from Italy and other, related horror, weird fiction.
