UK Games Expo 2026 Report (with Laurence Phillips)

In this episode Dirk and Blythy give their account of UK Games Expo 2026 and talk to Laurence Phillips about his new game, Il Fantasma del Giallo.

At the end of May 2026, we went to UK Games Expo and enjoyed the delights of gaming, shopping and chatting. In this episode we give you a blow by blow account of the event, if you want it or not.

A Prefab Sprout game is played using the contents of Pookie’s convention sack, you can see more of his un-bagging over at the Nook.

We want to give a big thanks to Orlanth Rex for organising the Shadow Con. Dirk also appeared on a recent panel talking about ‘difficult’ settings. You can find it here.

Our guest in this episode is Laurence Phillips talking about his game Il Fantasma del Giallo – a magical realist game taking inspiration from the Giallo cinema from Italy and other, related horror, weird fiction.
