Who Are OnTableTop?
OnTableTop is a welcoming team of hobbyists, painters, wargamers, board/card and roleplaying gamers who have come together to explore everything that’s fantastic about our hobby. We’re a website that has been producing video and written content for many years now including gameplay of popular tabletop games, painting and hobby tutorials and unboxings over on our OnTableTop platform and our socials such as YouTube and Facebook!
We’re also the official media partner of UK Games Expo and have been working with the team behind this amazing event for the last few years producing the Main Stage Live Show AND Live Blogging over the course of the weekend meeting all sorts of amazing creators in the tabletop hobby space.
OnTableTop At UK Games Expo
OnTabletop will be at the UK Games Expo as the official media partner to the event. Each year is bigger than the last and we are going to be sharing everything fun and awesome that’s happening both on the show floor and inside our very own media and streaming studio at the Main Stage!
Throughout the UK Games Expo we’re going to be interviewing designers and publishers talking about the latest and greatest games that they have to offer. We’ll be looking at new releases but also what’s coming in the near future too! All of this will be happening in person but we’ll also be live streaming via Twitch and YouTube! So, if you can’t get to the UK Games Expo this time around then you have nothing to worry about. We’ll have you covered.
If you’re at the UK Games Expo and want to get the lowdown on what’s happening, make sure to find us and see what we’re getting up to by coming over to the Main Stage or stick the live stream on your phone and watch along. There’s the chance that you might even find yourself getting involved and joining in the action, either asking questions or taking part in participation games.
You’ll also be able to follow along with our live blog, a catalogue of interviews from all over the event with publishers and attendees, as well as some of the famous faces from the industry!
We should mention that we’ll be wearing our OnTableTop (OTT) t-shirts during the UK Games Expo so you certainly won’t miss us when we’re out and about! Don’t be afraid to flag us down and say hello. We LOVE talking to everyone about what they’ve been up to!
OnTableTop Beyond UK Games Expo
Every day of the week, both on YouTube and over on the OnTableTop website we produce content for you to watch and news pieces that keep you up to date with everything that’s going on in the tabletop gaming world.
Our team is made up of Warren, a lover of Barbarians and Weresharks (they’re a thing!); Lloyd who enjoys a good train alongside building wargaming terrain and Justin who is our “hobby savant”, able to put his mind to pretty much any game out there!
We also have Gerry, our very own live-in Wookie who has a pretty encyclopaedic knowledge of wargames and Ben who has been writing about tabletop gaming for so long that he’s probably made of Meeples and lovely Wingspan eggs…he doesn’t eat them though!
Our flagship show is the Weekender that comes out every Friday and is our big round-up of some of the best bits of the week’s news plus discussion and more. It’s great to put on in the background whilst you’re painting away on your latest miniatures or sitting down to read a rulebook.
As well as providing free content for everyone, we also have a dedicated community of subscribers called the Cult Of Games. The Cult Of Games get access to extra shows like the Cult Of Games XLBS (a second, subscriber only Weekender show on a Sunday!) and helps support the OnTableTop project for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a month!
We also run a gaming store and venue in Coleraine, Northern Ireland where each week hobbyists can come and join in the fun and game together in our fantastic hall. If you’re ever visiting Northern Ireland then you’ll have to come and pay us a visit! You could dive into your favourite wargame, do some painting or perhaps get stuck into a board game or roleplaying game with one of our numerous groups.
