Yesterday I ended up on a little expedition to the other side of Nottingham to attend a "Gaming Fayre" I'd seen advertised on social media. It didn't seem to be heavily advertised so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
It was held in a brewery and tap room, and I sadly failed to get any good photos of the giant tanks around the venue due to a lack of common sense. There were quite a few small stands there. There was a gaming club from Arnold I've been meaning to check out, Krakon Games, Mammoth Miniatures, Ramshackle Games and Warp Miniatures.
Krakon Games had free samples to give away, along with a crate of miscasts you could fill a bag up with for future kit bashing mischief.
They then had a display of a whole bunch of their range, and the giveaway bags had a link back to their shop.
Mammoth Miniatures had a more extensive selection of their things - both miniatures and books.
I'm a huge fan of Mammoth's aesthetic. The miniatures have a very "home made" feel, and there's a very deliberate art style too. I had a good chat with them about their art inspirations, which range from William Morris to Moebius.
Ramshackle Games, meanwhile, had a small demo table, where they were running participation games. I didn't manage to grab a time myself - too busy chattering away to people. He also had a few bags of bits and pieces for folk to buy, including his excellent anti-Brexit art project.
I failed to get photos of the Warp Miniatures stand, or the gaming club stand. But it was a fun little event. It was about the right size to run from 12 - 5pm. You could drop in for a bit of the time and see everything, or take your time and grab a pizza and a beer. The date of the next one hasn't been announced yet, but I'll try and mention it here when it is.
I'm fascinated by the pics and the whole event, it looks really fantastic and I 'd say it was quite worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was glad I went and got to socialise with folks.
