UK Games Expo is on the horizon and the crew are setting sail to this promised land. Joining them on the good ship Brainwaves is a man who is no stranger to the Expo himself: Mr. Rory Sommers of the Polyhedron Collider Crew.
Before they get to chatting about the convention we cover the latest in Tabletop news including the potential impacts of the US/China trade war, Elder Scrolls getting into some plagiarism and all the news from D&D live. Do get in touch and let us know what you are looking forward to at Expo!
