A Massive Aura

<p><br></p><p>Welcome to “But, Why Vikings?”. Each episode your hosts Tim Clare, Ava Foxfort, and Iain McAllister will answer a variety of tabletop related questions sent in to them by listeners. From tabletop etiquette to historical mysteries there is no question too esoteric for this group of gaming agony aunts. </p><p>Tim and Ava are back from the UK Games Expo with a special themed episode around the convention itself. They answer a question about why you should go to the con in the first place and then move on to discussing how to deal with the sheer scale of the event on a personal level. </p><p>Our show notes links to games and sources we mention in running order. Games will have their BGG entry linked to, though we recognise that is not the only source of information on games. </p><p><strong>Games mentioned</strong></p><p>None this episode, unusual for us</p><p><strong>Other things mentioned</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/what-i-feel-when-159843704"><u>Ava’s piece on Expo</u></a></p><p><a href="http://www.timclarepoet.co.uk/stupid-games-stupid-prizes/"><u>Tim’s piece on Expo</u></a></p><p><a href="https://dragonmeet.co.uk/"><u>Dragonmeet</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.airecon.co.uk/"><u>Airecon</u></a></p><p><a href="https://mindsportsolympiad.com/"><u>Mind Games Olympiad</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.ents24.com/uk/tour-dates/knightmare-live"><u>Knightmare Live</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.thejohnrobertson.com/thedarkroom/"><u>The Dark Room</u></a></p><p><strong>Our Socials</strong></p><p><a href="https://pixabay.com/users/faespencer-31790355/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=195117"><u>⁠</u><strong>Music by Fae Spencer on Pixabay</strong><u>⁠</u></a><strong></strong></p><p>Tim Clare</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/timclare.bsky.social"><u>Bluesky</u></a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/timclare.bsky.social"><u>Website</u></a></p><p>Ava Foxfort</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ava.foxfort.net"><u>Bluesky</u></a></p><p><a href="https://campsite.bio/avafoxfort"><u>Website</u></a></p><p>Iain McAllister</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/giantbrain.co.uk"><u>Bluesky</u></a></p><p><a href="https://giantbrain.co.uk/"><u>Website</u></a></p><p><br></p>
