Wotan Games returns to Dragonmeet, but it moved! From Hammersmith to the Excel Centre in Docklands. Was it bigger, better and with burgers?
It was the first John Dodd-only Dragonmeet, it was the biggest by far and the most amazing setup experience EVER!
Firstly, and most importantly, thank you John and the whole Dragonmeet team. For your support, patience and all the help, not only for the great new event, but for the chance to be part of it.
We had never been to Excel, not as a Sponsor before. The challenge was to get across London and actually find how you get into the event to drop of the stand and stock. Some people who will remain nameless did end up on a ferry crossing the Thames!
It was constant, not only in the visiting and discussions for 2026 but also for the future of Wotan Games.
The most important first encounter, professionally for Wotan Games, was with the Ragnar Brothers. Foolishly, we took no photos to prove the meeting, lol, but let’s just say Waddling Ducks were discussed.
Also a great few chats and playthroughs with Dave Battom, the 2025 team addition and star designer on the soon to be discussed Pipes game - check out the backerkit sign up
Such a gathering of like-minded people is always a pleasure, and sometimes shared moments are something that only those that know will understand.
Dragonmeet 2026 is always going to be on my calendar, and I hope to see you there. We had a great stand this year, but as always, if you missed the chance to snag one, fear not—they’re all waiting for you at shop.wotangames.co.uk, alongside some games from our equally delightful industry pals.
