Tabletop Scotland has secured its place as the UK’s largest official Dungeons & Dragons gaming convention, and to mark the occasion, the first 500 attendees through the doors will receive a free and exclusive miniature.
The convention, held in Edinburgh following its move to the capital in 2024, has partnered with UK-based Warbases and their Bifrost Miniatures line to offer an exclusive “Dragonfolk Wizard” model. While not an officially licensed character, the miniature of a spellcasting, draconic humanoid might remind some veteran adventurers of notable dragon-kin from the Forgotten Realms. One could imagine such a figure studying arcana in the eastern land of Murghôm, a region ruled by dragons, perhaps even walking the path of one of their powerful wizard allies.
This promotion highlights a significant development for the Scottish convention. Being designated the UK’s largest official Dungeons & Dragons event points to a deep integration with Wizards of the Coast’s organised play programs, most notably the D&D Adventurers League. Attendees can expect a vast number of official D&D tables, offering a chance to participate in coordinated campaigns and unique convention-specific scenarios. This growth reflects the continued surge in the TTRPG hobby’s popularity across the country, a trend Geek Native has been tracking for years.
While the D&D offering is a significant draw, Tabletop Scotland remains a broad church for all tabletop enthusiasts. The event also boasts a huge open gaming library, a packed traders’ hall featuring publishers and artists, and a wide array of tournaments and demonstration games for board games and other roleplaying systems. The convention has grown year-on-year into a cornerstone of the UK’s gaming calendar.
The miniature itself comes from Bifrost Miniatures, the metal miniatures range from Warbases, a company perhaps better known for its MDF terrain and hobby supplies. This collaboration gives attendees a tangible piece of the convention to take home and serves as a great incentive to arrive early.
Tabletop Scotland takes place at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh and continues to be a highlight for Scotland’s gaming community and a destination event for visitors from all over the UK.
