PlayFrame | Always prepping for the next TTRPG Youth project! @playframe.co.uk · 20d

Thanks to @taithwales.bsky.social a week ago we were in the amazing slow village Grumes, in gorgeous Trentino, Italy with another #TTRPG #Youth Exchange.
Young people from Wales, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Lithuania spent a week developing expansions on Biosphere Guardians 2050! So much to share!

One hilarious effect of mass-running Diplomacy for around 80 students (across 2 sections) is that now this 68-year-old game is literally the talk of the program. Students are blowing up groupchats about it, and I just received requests to let some outside students come by and watch or participate.

Xmas Kindling Club at Firestorm Games Today. Good turnout from half/Inset Days.
We've had Snowball Fights for 40k, Monstrous Snowmen in 'Yuleheim!' (candy cane draped Festive Mordheim).. and just love this kid painting his dad's 80s 2000AD minis!
Happy Xmas and here's to more gaming in the 2025!
