I'll mostly be posting about table top RPGs, CGI, photography and writing but also probably whatever random thought crosses my mind

I do back end website development and accessibility for a living

Just had a stupid idea for a frankly horrible puzzle/investigation RPG with a pretty unique and tied to the core theme mechanic
But for it to work would require a huge amount of background detail creation for what would probably be a one shot or short campaign at best
So I'll file it away

There are four days until Dragonmeet and I'm getting excited, if by excited you mean "Wondering if I've forgotten anything".
I'm on booth E15, just behind Chaosium. Come and say hello. Here's an amazing map of where I am by @jogbrogzin.bsky.social.

I have a large range of things - from a big d20 sci-fi game (with a couple of supplements), to a number of 6x9 games. Some sad WW1 and WW2 themed games, a beer & pretzels silly game, a game about the memories when the fantasy quest is over…

Less than a week to go, come talk sci-fi and spies with me at stand H2 at Dragonmeet. Also look at this awesome map that @jogbrogzin.bsky.social has created highlighting just a few of the creatives that will be there!

We don't talk much about the "feel" of TTRPG mechanics, so I thought I'd do that.
Imagine two sets of mechanics for finding clues in a mystery.

We’ve got some bits and bobs. If you’ve got the eco mofos book already we have bundles of the zines that have come out in the last year, and a preview copy of the new hardback to have a look at. And of course Zedeck’s A Perfect Wife.

Well, neither has a gloss finish, so won't be shiny per se, but I'm hoping to have both Fear & Panic by @lymerpg.bsky.social, and The Night Clerk by @rosspayton.bsky.social !
Both creators are US-based, so we've collaborated to do an A5 print run of both zines in the UK.

Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.
