The first ever Meeple Expo is complete, and while the attendance was small, Fun, conversation and interesting things were plentiful. We had 5 displays set up with a variety of subjects and interesting people to talk with.
Jimmy was there with his 3D printer, which he put to work making a couple of inserts for Splendor, and also showed off his Western Legends game with all its printed and painted pieces.
Cat put together an awesome array of items and info about how we can make our games more accessible and accommodating for those with mental or physical issues that make games challenging for them to play.
We had James, a local artist and designer, show off some of his skilled work and even taught his game ‘Classroom buddies’ to some of us.
It was great to meet Adam from Leading Edge Burnie, who also had some of their 3d printed items (he really likes his collapsible lightsaber), as well as a few of their growing collection of board games.
We also had a few people showing and helping with some digital gaming options, which we obviously had a go at.
It was really good to get a glimpse into some of the things people in our little community get up to and their willingness to share and talk about it is a real gift to us. I personally learnt a heap and I really hope my mind can remember even half of it!
