In 2025 the CRiT Awards announced that winners would receive prizes provided by sponsors. A year later, the prizes haven't appeared. Michelle asked sponsors, winners, and the CRiT Awards team what happened - grab a cup of tea and a biscuit and settle in to hear the whole story.
‘We went out into the stars and what did it bring us? Where are the stars now?’ The end is coming, howling, devouring. Join us tonight for Ten Candles.

COMING SOON: ATRAPOS A #TTRPG of cursed heroes, wrathful Gods and a desperate journey home, inspired by the tragic and heroic tales of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Learn more & follow along on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...
I have run away to the Mediterranean to drink wine and write about robots and vampires as the goddess intended. I do not intend to return, do not send tweet.
The first part of Querent built an entire world, from the peoples' first encounters with the Celestial Wolves, through scientific discoveries and to the imminent collapse of society. Catch up now, before it all comes crashing down in part two - Ten Candles. Check out the VOD now -

Facilitator Luyou guides Chris, Markus and Finley in building the world of Udesia, doomed home to scholars, scientists, and musicians who wish to travel beyond the stars to connect with the celestial…

We told Luyou 'minimal edit, ok, we'll do a basic edit for this'. And then I witnessed this story being told and wanted to make it visually sparkle, the way it does narratively. So your boy was a little bit Extra. Hopefully the result is as compelling as it is beautiful.
As we near the broadcasting of Querent, I am feeling very thankful. Grateful for this creative and thoughtful cast, the incredible amount of editing labor done by Darcy, and the structure and support from the studio. 💛 They took a chance on this two system experience, first of its kind in EUphoria.
When I get any amount of goddam free time it is over for all of y'all. ("y'all" being my lovely friends and "it" being "time you are spending playing games with GMs)
🎲 No GM? No problem. Our GM-less Games Bundle launches next Friday! Whether you're after solo journaling, collaborative storytelling, or games where everyone shares the spotlight, there's something for everyone. 💙 Wishlist it now to get a reminder when it's live! rpg-trader.com/products/670...
Today I learned you can put YouTube comments on 'hold', so they're not publicly visible until you approve them. There's no indication of that to the poster though. They see their comment. No one else does, but they think it's there. Getting no likes. No response. No rage. It's fucking hilarious 😂
All of these incredible shows were brought to us through our open pitching process and yours could be next! The form opens August 1st, and we want YOUR PITCH, so start plotting, and maybe even join our Discord to bounce some ideas around and get some inspiration? Join here - buff.ly/wxYbzDv
Oh lord the yappers are yappin'
This morning in the EUphoria Community Discord, we're discussing what makes a role model, and how that can manifest in TTRPG spaces. Thoughtful and respectful exploration of an intriguing topic, yes, but also, of course dice puns. Come join in - discord.gg/rnBkXDcYTG
This show - both seasons - is one of my favourite things I've ever produced at EUphoria. The character work by the players is by turns heartbreaking and hilarious & @theneoncaster.bsky.social's GM style is always cinematic in the best way. Do yourself a favour and add it to your to-watch list.
A year ago we returned to the heart of London with our second season of Heartbeats in Perfect Sync: London's Pulse. @theneoncaster.bsky.social's shounen battle anime inspired game of urban fantasy and rad teamwork. Watch the whole season on our YouTube channel now! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
New piece on itch. Feels like a stretch to call it a solo game so I'm going with 'ritual'. Pay what you want, read the content warnings, tear it apart and see what remains michellicopter.itch.io/break-your-h...
Break Your Heart by Michellicopter
A ritual of self-destruction

There's a lot of things I think I'd change if I was to write this piece now - things I'd tighten up and alter and improve in little ways - but one thing I'm proud of is the level of blunt honesty in this writing, a level I'm not sure I'd have the guts to achieve today
Me: Barely keeping my head above water with Real Life dumpster fires left and right, exhausted every hour of the day, deadlines for projects barrelling at me. My brain: All right, I'm gonna cook up about eight of the best game design ideas you've ever had, you ready, you got a fucking pen, nerd?
All right who do I know who's good at logo design/branding? Small budget friendly.
Head in my hands here, lads. Deep audible sigh. If a marginalised person comes to you with a request or suggestion that gives you the opportunity to be a better ally, DON'T make the conversation about you and how YOU feel. Your comfort isn't paramount in that situation. Hush up and ALLY (verb).
One of my favourite parts of this job is watching pitches roll in. Cannot wait to see what amazing ideas we have to choose from!
PITCHES OPENING SOON! We're looking to program the next 6-8 months of diverse, inclusive, uniquely European shows! If you have a game you'd like to run, an interview you'd like to conduct, a panel or talk show you'd like to bring together, start plotting now!
banging my pots and pans louder and gayer than ever before, it's COMING
www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou... ATRAPOS is coming soon, my most thoroughly autistic game yet, filled with poetry, hot+sad people and the kind of subtext that Garth Marenghi would call cowardice.
TTRPGs are a form of storytelling Stories are a form of historical, political, and cultural preservation, whether overt/conscious or subtle/subconscious we bring our experiences with us into every space we inhabit, and into every thing we create. Best practice is to do so with awareness & intention💖
listen, everyone has my sympathy and everything, but it's really not too bad here up north, so everyone to mine for ice lollies and a reasonable summer temperature
Morning after the Lancer group gain their first License Level and they're all doing unhinged theory-crafting on future builds. I think we got 'em, lads.
The cave setting in FINSTERNIS, our Vampire: the Masquerade game, is based on the real series of natural and excavated caves criss-crossing that region! Whether or not vampires and their relics are really there, that's to be determined buff.ly/ZrIyf5D
