Home time from @conpulsion.bsky.social Fab time. Great final session with @gavininglis.bsky.social on solo game writing. Man knows his stuff! Once again, Conpulsion has been an inspiration.

Fun times Conpulsion yesterday. I haven’t stopped to mention how cool it was to chat with @khepera.bsky.social and to briefly say hi to Ron Edwards on Friday night. (I did the cover to Ron’s game Spione years ago)

The auction did just shy of £4k, and I can away with signed @nightfall.games stuff.

On the train to @conpulsion.bsky.social! Still revising the current text of Shipwreck! before this morning’s session. The Scene Direction stuff is new, totally inspired by @lackingceremony.bsky.social’s Quiet Year.

This morning I'm running Overgrown: Treetop Traipse, which is one of the example scenarios from the gamebook and features this wonderful map :)

On my way to @conpulsion.bsky.social to run a demo game of Abbadon. I'd be 100% ready if I hadn't forgotten to lift the character sheets out of the printer, so I guess we're going old school with lined paper.

Life of a TTRPG designer with ADHD lol.

It's @conpulsion.bsky.social day 2 today and I'm running a new Cybertopia oneshot this morning that I've never done before... Ever wonder what it'd be like for the humans the day Overgrown started happening to the world? We're doing Welcome to the Apocalypse from the ppl's perspective!

Just 5 more days before I'll be running my games at another con again!
I had originally planned to run my first ever con games at @conpulsion.bsky.social back in 2020 but then it got cancelled that year because COVID appeared! 5 years later I finally am going to actually do it and I'm real excited 😊

It's another absolutely unique item for the @conpulsion.bsky.social charity auction.

This is a one-off, hard cover, Cold City Hot War Reports One to Seven (the softcover Reports One to Six is available on our webstore). We hope this one makes lots of loot for the charity too.
