IWGB Game Workers Union @gameworkers.co.uk · 31/10/2025

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Dearest fellow TTRPG goblins, I am expanding my offering! This is something I have long done in multiple work contexts, so it just makes sense to offer it on a freelance basis as well. Reasonable, flexible rates provided on request.

A colourful advertisement for proofreading services, including a picture of the provider and contact details. The caption beneath the image reads "Megan L. Ramirez" and the contact information specifies "megan.l.ramirez@gmail.com"

I'll be designing a public transport game that you can play on a bus for 42nd St Charity's Horsfall Gallery! Games can have real power in inviting imaginative interactions with the everyday, and I'm very excited to explore this in a mental health setting. #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #experimentalgames

Still a bit of time left to grab something in my little end of summer sale! Each game is 25% off, or you can get a bundle of 3 for $7. Every little bit *really* helps right now; I have quite frankly never had so little in the ol' savings and it's pretty darn scary! 🫤 itch.io/s/158776/end...

The Cyberpunk setting has given us some of the most evocative visions of the future, but what does a world look like in the early stages of this grim dystopian shift? The NEON HOPE RPG asks this exact question. A 🧵 of the two guiding principles we’re using to tell a not-yet-cyberpunk story: (1/6)

Having our TTRPG Kickstarter featured in an outlet covering all corners of tabletop is exactly the reception we hoped for! We designed the NEON HOPE RPG and Trail of the Behemoth for role-players and board-gamers alike. Thanks to @belloflostsouls.net for the shoutout.

We just launched our 2 in 1 Kickstarter campaign! Both games are strategic, easy to learn and fun to GM! Had a blast working with some fantastic creatives to bring this thing to life. Averting corporate dystopia or fighting giant monsters, what's not to like? #ttrpgs #games #boardgames

I'm the next guest designer for the stretch goals on this Kickstarter! A set of scenarios that add depth and richness to campsites, so setting up camp for the night feels less throwaway for GMs and players. Fab collaborators on this, worth looking into their work if you're an indie TTRPG fan :)

Thank you so much to everyone who's already sent a response to this. Elated that the project has struck a chord this early in development, and from some fantastic designers and orgs! I'll be chatting to TiPP about scope and timeline in the next couple of weeks and will update here. 1/2
