| Ian and helpers - and coffee! |
UK Games Expo is always an interesting weekend for me - the variety of traders, the range of upcoming Kickstarter projects, the deals to be had. One element of it which has become a bit of a tradition for me is leaving the show with signed books, at least some of which were written by Jonathan Green. 2017 proved to be no different, and when I arrived on the Saturday I almost immediately managed to pass by the stand he was on - by accident, I assure you.
This year, there were other authors sharing the stand with him, one of which I recognised from previous years - a certain Mr Ian Livingstone, of Fighting Fantasy fame. Both he and Mr Green
1 were doing rather good deals on signed books from that series, and I found my collection expanding from a lone volume up to seven - and my shopping bag getting distinctly heavier!
Fast forward a few weeks, and I had an overnight trip to London to deal with for work. As I wasn't sure who else might be around, I'd packed a little light reading to keep me occupied on the train and in my hotel room - and, on an impulse, decided to pack one of my recent Fighting Fantasy acquisitions, along with dice and some paper to make notes. In this case, I was going to be taking expedition to the depths of
Deathtrap Dungeon, to see what Fate had in store for me...
