The Corporate Catalogue is out now! The Catalogue is a system-agnostic collection of 13 of the most despicable companies ever, designed for sci-fi or dystopian future settings, created by 4 excellent designers, and also me! Check it out now on DriveThruRPG! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

The Corporate Catalogue cover, featuring a dark blue and white palette. An impossible triangle is placed prominently in the centre.

Quite possible! I seem to be straining Google Sheets a bit with this one! Here's the current West Yorkshire page:

I've also seen a spike in downloads today, though not on that scale.

A graph of downloads on itch.io from July 14th through July 25th. There is a noticeable upwards trend over time, with the final bar reaching over 30 while the first is under 10. Notably the jump occurs in the last 2 days.
All the bars are segmented, signifying that multiple different products are included.

And now this year's map takes its place alongside last year's! #stampquest

This year's Stamp Quest map below last year's, each in a dungeon map style and covered in coloured stamps.

More #UKGE musings! I also took part in #stampquest25 and got the map I made stamped at each stall! It was great fun and I hope all involved enjoyed, exhibitors and participants alike! Fantastic job by @uktin.bsky.social for organising it, and thanks for letting me be a part of it through the map!

The same map, now overlaid by stamps from each of the stalls involved in a variety of colours.

Over at @joshuakitz.bsky.social I picked up Fabrication (which I missed from my original image) by the aforementioned and WILD by @autocratik.bsky.social. I was intruiged by a game that creates others by play, and I'm really interested to delve into the tarot-driven gameplay of WILD.

An envelope with the words "Fabrication: A game that makes games" written on it.

Finally made it back from UKGE, and am planning to not move for a substantial length of time. Thanks to everyone I chatted with for being wonderful, enthusiastic people, both about what they were working on and had made as well as #chimerhearts and my work. Without further ado, onto the spoils!

14 books and a couple of card decks, laid out on a carpet. Left to right, top to bottom, they are: WILD, PSYCHODUNGEON, The Wretched, Wreck This Deck, Mothership (Warden's Operation Manual), Dead Letter Society, Chiron's Doom, To Honour and Obey, Exclusion Zone Botanist, Mothership (Player's Survival Guide), Slayers, Orbital Blues, Mork Borg and Dialect. The card decks are laid on WILD and Dialect.

A new blog post is on the way...

Text reading: "So, you want to make a TTRPG?".

Many things are on sale on itch for the next week or so; among them are the 2 TTRPGs I'm proudest of, Summit and The Curse Lingers. If you want them, now's the time! itch.io/s/138444/aut... (If you're a designer who also has games on sale, lmk in the replies, I'm always looking for cool stuff)

Thank you for reading! Here's a quick look into my current project! A Call To Compete is inspired by video game fighters like Street Fighter and Tekken. It's got combo mechanics, a diverse roster of fighters with unique powers, stage hazards and finishing moves. I'll be talking more soon! (12/12)

Just released a fully-formatted version of my 200-word TTRPG, Head of a Bull, on itch! thecoppercompendium.itch.io/head-of-a-bull

A TTRPG called "Head of a Bull", with the title in a red dripping font. The page is formatted like a dark temple or tunnel, with light spilling out of a doorway, a minotaur silhouetted against the light. Pillars stand on either side of the tunnel.

The words of the game are in the light beam.
