DemonEtrigan

DemonEtrigan (Mike) has been playing games of all sorts since he first received a small white box in 1976 for his birthday……and has not looked back since! Buying Rogue Trader in 1987 along with the classic box of Beakie Marines, then Alpha Magic Cards in 1993 in Australia the bug has bitten on and never let go. Current areas of interest are Savage Worlds for RPGs (who doesn’t like playing undead cowboys possessed by Demons) and Marvel Crisis Protocol by Atomic Mass Games (again..Superheroes…punching each other…that is all). Recently he has picked up a small force for Hardwar (Modiphius) and is painting a force to take to the table.

Fiona Dickinson

Fiona's love of tabletop gaming began as a search for a hobby that she and her wife Amy could enjoy together and use to become more sociable. 15 years later, and not only has tabletop gaming been a connection to a network of friends and like-minded people around the UK, it also spawned a (now retired) board game blog, and eventually became the idea of a business - Tabletop Rescue. Tabletop Rescue grew from Fiona's love of bargain hunting at UK charity shops and car boot sales into a pre-owned tabletop games business that is now the number one seller of pre-owned board games on Ebay UK. Still a board gamer at heart, the business has led her to a new-found appreciation of TTRPGs, Warhammer and Magic the Gathering too.
