Good haul of TTRPGs there! Microscope is a cracking worldbuilding game and glad you enjoyed Candela Obscura (think it is a lot of fun!). Nice work on the live show!!

[@thebadspot]

Thanks! I have owned Microscope for so long and never once got it on the table so it was a nice way to force my hand and actually play it. Yeah, I dig Candela Obscura quite a bit. Think I might run a bit of that later in the year. Thanks for watching!

Excellent live event Matt, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the ongoing adventures of Archer.... Gideon 😄 . A great weekend to relax, play games and socialise.

[@thebadspot]

Aw thanks! Yeah I need to learn Gideon's name FAST.

You were right that the Saturday was off the charts busy but I’m glad I beat my grumpy old man dislike of crowds to get to see you live. It was a great show and if the hand drawn poster isn’t the thumbnail for the video I’ll be disappointed! p.s - I was the annoying one that turned up 30 minutes early and distracted you while you were trying to set up - sorry about that but it was a nice chat 👋

[@thebadspot]

Oh hey! It was lovely to meet you and I am glad you distracted me from the creeping dread of doing the show! That poster was great tbh, I should have had it framed...

I've previously only ever been on the one day-the Saturday-, but this year I went on both Friday and Saturday and it was so much better. Next year I will be doing all three days and spreading myself around a bit better. Will be good to experience more of the expo instead of rushing to get purchases done.

[@thebadspot]

Yeah absolutely. Next year I’m just going to be in sessions and seminars all day on the Saturday. I don’t want to run the gauntlet of the show floor.

[@RazielDarkedge]

Came to the show last year but was unable to make it this year. Really glad to hear it went well and looking forward to seeing the new campaign!

[@thebadspot]

Thank you so much!

[@CharlesTersteeg]

Thanks for rhe video. Id not ever go. I really learned alot from your howto type videos!

[@thebadspot]

That’s awesome, thanks for watching!

[@geobroadsword]

Lorenzo forever!! 🐒👑
The live show was great, and I am excited to see more from Gideon and lil Lorenzo :)

[@geobroadsword]

Also DEEPLY excited for paint the town red

[@thebadspot]

Lorenzo!

[@thebadspot]

Yeah it’s honestly so cool

[@shaneintheuk2026]

Sad I missed it but I am glad it went well. It sounds mad on the Saturday.

[@thebadspot]

Thanks! Yeah the Saturday would’ve been a write off even had I stayed I think. Next year, Saturday is the day to book into all the sessions and talks and stay off the show floor

[@darrenworthy3511]

Was a fantastic weekend - I'm planning on booking any events I want to go to on the Saturday if at all possible as it was a little tough to see the booths as it was so busy

[@thebadspot]

That’s the way to do it. I think if you’re setting foot on the show floor on the Saturday you’re going it wrong tbh

[@FreelancerJoyanta]

👍👍👍👍

[@thebadspot]

Thanks for watching!

Psychic Pizza Delivery was too silly for me. Its not a bad game, just not a game for me.

[@thebadspot]

But the pig!

[@soulmuppetpublishing1578]

Enjoy Paint The Town Red!
