Gulls fly south over caul-fat waves and salt-spray spit from the malevolent sea. They find more welcome behind the Blessed Breaker, picking at discarded carcasses in the canals of the Swell. Everything washes down there eventually, living or dead. tempestrpg.itch.io/saint-magnus #TTRPG

Absolutely delighted to see this rolled out! Ontos are new to the trade show circuit, and so I've felt a bit apprehensive when giving this as feedback to the various organisers.

It's finally RELEASED! I made a free, romantasy-first SRD for designing solo narrative/journalling games: CHAPTERS. Here’s the core of what it does, why I built it this way, and how it keeps a story moving without pre-writing where that story has to go.

A purple and lilac graphic showcasing a framework for creating Romantasy themed solo TTRPG journaling games called Chapters. It features a minimal styled graphic heart intersecting with a book and bookmark.

There’s no time to relax, Frogmen. The Skorps have us on the back foot after Crisis Omega and they’re going on the offensive. They’re sending the deadly Reaver and his destructive renegades to take out the Energy Well at the heart of L.I.L.Y Pad Home Base. tempestrpg.itch.io/red-zero-sha... #TTRPG

Posted this over on Instagram, thought I’d post it here too. I hope UKGE see this and hear us.

It’s undeniable I had a great time, but I’m including this last graphic, and imploring UKGE to take the discontent around AI ‘creators’ more seriously.

As an attendee AND an exhibitor, I am SO disappointed that there is still no official stance or implemented anti-AI policy when other cons, big and small, have them. I still found exhibitors that used AI in their products, and that stand space could have gone to genuine creators that enrich this community with their creativity.

I hope that the existence of two panels discussing the topic of how damaging AI can be (which notably were on at the same time...), and the popular ‘Human Made’ signs that so many exhibits displayed proudly are noted as a sign of just how many people do NOT want AI at this con.

Con-goers asked us about our stance on AI before purchasing.

Listen to your traders.
Listen to your attendees.

This matters.
