Last days of a crowdfunding campaign for a gaming convention in Nigeria. I'd love this to work out to support board games and RPGs across the world! I am not connected to the organization or the funding, I am just in contact with one of the organizers and have seen interviews about the projects.

I just played Amazing Tales with my kid and it got weird quickly. Also a bit squicky with all those references to needles and sharp points (kid got vaccinated last night and that bled into the game). I'd still say it's one of the best TTRPG for kids, because... (1/2)
