Lovely map from @jogbrogzin.bsky.social I got at Gaelcon

My first map collection zine arrived today (just in time for #gaelcon). I'm very please with how it turned out. First step towards producing a full coffee table book 😅 #fantasymaps #maps
My deck of mundane item cards for ttrpgs arrived today. First batch is small, enough for a playtest and tweak a few things, but all in all I'm delighted with how they've turned out (thanks to the wonderful colourwork from my daughter). I should have a few for sale at @gaelcon.bsky.social.
There's 24 hours left on early bird reward so I guess I should talk about that! We're creating a gorgeous foiled slipcase, designed by @ndpdesign.com, containing the core rulebook, campaign book, and a beautiful illustrated map by @jogbrogzin.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla... 1/
