I LOVE reading these reports! Having transparency and such useful insights into the nuts and bolts of the convention running process is crazy valuable, and the amount of thought put into this write-up is fantastic. (Also: median earnings given!!! 🙌🙌🙌)

I had a really good chat with @chrislaumanson.bsky.social and @tomhumberstone.com at TAGS Festival last weekend about what we, the independent comic community, can do to push our scene forward. A lot of what we discussed is UK- or world-wide rather than just pertinent to Scotland but I'll recap:

The most talked-about item at Edinburgh's recent #TAGS Fest was a new roleplaying guide. It suggests the popular image of Scotland's Picts, the blue-painted warriors, is almost entirely wrong. The historically accurate version is far more complex.
‘Carved in Stone’ brings myth-busting Picts to TAGS Fest 2025
Read Geek Native's coverage of TAGS Fest 2025 in Edinburgh, where the indie roleplaying game 'Carved in Stone' brought Scotland's real Pictish history to the table, busting myths and celebrating the small press.

Had an amazing day tabling at @tagsfest.co.uk for the first time! It was so great to meet some fantastic comics creators and readers, and so nice to put faces to names of people I've only known online. Here's hoping I'll have more opportunities to do events like this in the future!
