Sorry folks, I have to do the gross thing and actually remind folks I sell games.

Pick up an assortment of solo, system neutral, or even -gasp- honest to god, multi-player TTRPGs on our website or through a variety of online stockists.

Chris is a remarkably generous author, you know. Season Pass holders are getting a *lot* of extras, including a Fermi's Wake TTRPG scenario!
If you've already bought the Fermi's Wake Season Pass from @scarletferret.com, you will be able to download the omnibus e-book automatically as soon as it's available - and if you buy it now, you will be able to immediately enjoy Fermi's Wake in novella form.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
ANNOUNCEMENT
January 15th marks five years since the Fermi flew off into space in Dyson's Fear, destroying the Earth

It's that time of year where I have to book travel to Dragonmeet but it's going to cost well over £100 so I'm posting links to my games to try and help me pay for it

I did none of the things I intended to do today, but I did do an awful lot of things, including bravely sending an email in Italian (don't clap, it was two sentences; clap because I understood the email I was replying to) and managing to order an emergency print run.

I'll take what I can get.

I reckon you can learn a lot about the atmosphere in various Oxford colleges by looking at what they choose to name their cats (courtesy of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social ). We should all aspire to the energy of a Teabag, Isambard Kitten Brunel, or an Admiral Flapjack

We sat down with @kierongillen.bsky.social to talk about his new series DIE: Loaded and how the release of DIE RPG has influenced this new comic series.

Need one more voice for a super-short #vo job. It's 5 lines + 2 words and is for a small Kickstarter next year.

A higher/sweeter voice would be preferred. Phone recordings will be accepted.

Pay is either a straight $20 OR you can get a permanent 1% of profit from each comic sold. IT IS HORROR.

The real issue isn’t immigration, it’s the feedback loop: platforms amplify anxiety → voters feel it → politicians chase it → hollow policy follows. Until we break that cycle, we won’t get functional decisions or functional democracy.

Writing TTRPGs is easy with this one genius hack!

Just... be multiple months late delivering your crowdfunder! Ride your dread, guilt, and shame to victory!

Co-signed, basically 100%. I'm not moving existing projects over, but starting new ones in Affinity Studio has let me mess around with a lot of the tools and: Chant like.

I'm by no means a professional graphic designer, but Studio (so far) has made my RPG layout workflow smoother and less annoying.
I've been playing around with the new Affinity Studio since it was released. TLDR; It's good. Very good. How long will it stay that way? It's still too early to tell.

Some background, my first impressions, and my wishlist are all here: www.explorersdesign.com/affinity-imp...

Some new (?) tech to track persistent states via random tables with memory. Like Ladder Tables, but simpler in execution.

@critlore.bsky.social has pointed out I accidentally made "folk horror versions of Cuno and Cunoesse from Disco Elysium" as Meatbags NPCs, and... they're right, and this might be my proudest creation.

One of the things I really like about zombie horror is the maths of it.

Nobody ever talks about the simple, beautiful, *maths* of it.

MegaCorps and Vampire Gangs are bad, but a poor internet connection can be worse. This urban fantasy game uses real data to find your ideal safehouse.

We turned real UK internet dead zone data into a paranormal drama. See how Leeds became a hotspot for vampire gangs in our urban fantasy location finder.
