Title: Carcassonne in UK Games Expo Magazine
Post by: kettlefish on June 03, 2015, 12:59:57 AM
A question to the people who visited the UK Games Expo:
Did you get a magazine of the UK Games Expo?

I did - I think it was mostly the same as the PDF on the Games' Expo website.

Udo wrote an article about the community of Carcassonne and the forums CarcassonneCentral and Carcassonne-Forum. Is the article in that magazine?

I didn't see it - but I will check again tonight (unless someone beats me to it).

I think the PDF is only a partial copy of the magazine:

Yes it was included, and was somewhat longer than the original article I proofread. I'll see about scanning it (or at least just taking a picture) so that I can share it on the forums if nobody else has done it by this evening.  :(y)

I am very interested to see it.

I am so sorry because of the wrong spelling of www.carcassonne-forum.de (http://www.carcassonne-forum.de).

What are you thinking about the article itself (beside the wrong spelling)?

The article is fantastic. It gives a real sense of the community and work that goes on in these forums as well as our mutual (sometimes fanatical) enjoyment of this excellent game. Very nice to have our profile raised.

Udo mentioned the geocaching exercise during his talk - my wife and I love used to do it very often with her father; we will have to keep a special look out for the missing ones :)

It's a very good article!

I'm also jealous of the Tour-Bus :)

I enjoyed it too. It was good to read about the history of CarcC and CarcF and to see so many links to sites that I visit so regularly. I've seen a small surge in followers on Twitter recently as well, possibly off the back of this...

Just thought I'd share a PDF of the programme which included the Carcassonne Community article Dan took a photo of:
