Cool. I will be happy to support you by listing your details here.
Hello,
I have recently started a board gaming blog called “Boardgames in Blighty”. As the name suggests this blog is focused on the boardgaming scene in the UK and I hope to promote it to the UK community in particular as well as the wider gaming community.
Something that I think would help and would be of interest to the UK gamers would be information on game designers/ publishers in the UK. I want to start a piece called “Spotlight on…” and I want to start it off with brief interviews of UK based companies and designers. This will be a short list of questions that I would ask you to comment on. Each designer or publisher would be asked the same questions so each would receive equal treatment. The questions would be along the lines of -
* What is your view of boardgaming here in the UK? What would you like to see done which could help board gaming become more mainstream amongst the public? How do we compare to other [laces you’ve marketed your games?
* How did you get into game design/publishing?
* What has been your most successful design/published game so far?
* Can you tell us about the process you went through to arrive at the finished product?
* Any words of advice for others interested in design/publishing?
* What project(s) are you currently working on and can you give us a sense of what the theme, mechanics, etc.and when we should be able to purchase the game(s)?
* What type of games do you like to play? Any particular favourites? Any games that you just hate?
* Likes and dislikes in regards to mechanics?
* Upcoming public demos, conventions?
Once posted on my blog, I will be posting on Boardgamegeek and notifying Boardgamenews to notify UK and other gamers of your comments and hopefully get feedback.
As you can see, I believe that this is an opportunity to promote UK based designers and companies. Of course, I hope that this raises the profile of the blog as well.
Please let me know whether you would be willing to participate.
Regards and best of luck in your game publishing endeavours.

Cheers!

We are really keen to support the UK games scene and hope you can include us on your publisher page.
Pleas feel free to contact me for any additional information.
All the best

Hi Rivcoach,
I was wondering if you could add Go Ah Ah Play Games to your Board Game Publishers blog. We are another independent games publisher not listed above. As well as developing our own games, we also seek independent Board and Card Game Inventors and Designers to offer a Drop Ship service on our site. I have just released Toxin Drop – The Detoxification, Activation and Ascension board game. This is a brand new first edition game produced by Go An Ah Play Games that arrived December 2010. http://www.goanahplaygames.com/toxindrop.html
You will notice on my website that I also have Pocketfit, which is made in the UK
http://www.goanahplaygames.com/pocket_fit.html
Martial World from Ohio, USA
http://www.goanahplaygames.com/martial_world_martial_arts_card_game.html
and YOUR MAT from Australia
http://www.goanahplaygames.com/Your%20Mat.html
It is wonderful to see so many inventors of board and card games actively producing such an array of entertaining and educational games.
Your blog is a wonderful resource bringing these independents together.
Well done. it’s great to see.
Kind Regards
David
Hello David,
I am happy to add you to the list! Best of luck to you.

Thank you Mark,
I have added a link to your blog on my blog roll to send you some visitors.

I am wondering, are you a game designer yourself? I clicked on ABOUT in your menu, but it didn’t say.
I look forward to keeping in contact in the future.
Kind Regards
David
Cheers David. Actually, I have started working on a project with a friend. We’ll see what happens
PS: I really love the background artwork on this blog.
Cheers
Dave
