UK Games Expo 2024 Special Guest, Sir Ian Livingstone

Sir Ian Livingstone will be attending UK Games Expo 2024 as a Special Guest, from Friday 31 May - Sunday 2 June.

You will find him at Stand 2-T21 where you will be able to get your Fighting Fantasy gamebooks signed.

During the course of the weekend Sir Ian will also be taking part in two live events.

On Friday 31 May, from 1:30-3:00pm, he will be leading The Dark Room's John Robertson astray once more in Deathtrap Dungeon, in the seminal gamebook's 40th anniversary year. Tickets for the event are available here, but they have almost all sold out. (Half of each ticket fee will be added to the UKGE Charity donations.)

On Sunday 2 June, from 12.30-1:00pm Sir Ian will be joining fellow Special Guest Luke Gygax on the D&D at 50 panel. This is a free event, taking place on the Main Stage in Hall 2.

If you are attending the UK Games Expo this year, do stop by Stand 2-T21 and say hello. And may your STAMINA never fail!
