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.
