So, final day of #UKGE 2026! If you haven’t dropped by to pick up your copy of Against Time and Death, look for the red and blue! (If you look real close you’ll see the mechs from yesterday’s world-first Speed Daemons demo…)
Get down to stand 2-822 at UKGE and exchange currency for illegal gaming materials from me and @morkborg.com
We are at UKGE this weekend - you can check out our extensive catalogue of games and play 1-hour demos with us - or just drop by and say hi! We're stall 3A-407. We also have @ickbat.bsky.social with us, with his duet game Against Time And Death debuting.
Are you at #UKGE? Come and find the tentacles and let me tell you about a multiversal time war and a forbidden relationship… It’s Against Time and Death’s convention debut!
My eldest daughter is a scout, and for a merit badge she decided to walk 40 km (24,8 miles I guess) today. I tagged along and reader, it was great. But also, my legs are so fucking shot right now, send help.

106 years ago today, on May 7th, an undergraduate at Christchurch College, Oxford, drank a glass of port then left through the main gates for a walk. I've been thinking about him, & his walk, for years now. It's taken a long time for me to figure out why - why I've kept returning, near obsessed.
A Weekend in the Country by @lariassmuth.bsky.social. It is a murder mystery house game to find the killer. You don't 'solve' the murder. But collect cards and prompts to imagine how it was done. A weak hand breaks your accusation. A tumbling tower releases the killer at your remaining suspects.

Today is the day, and I'm literally Breathless (ok, I was working out, but whatever, you know what I mean) My 4 year old zombie survival horror game is being remastered and published by a REAL publisher, and it's live on Kickstarter I made it, guys ^^ Can you help us spread the word?
PIG AT A WEDDING is a one-page TTRPG where you must sneak a pig into a wedding and release it at the most traumatic possible moment. PDF, text-only version, and a largely unrelated dev diary here: www.patreon.com/posts/pig-at...
The cover of IN THE LIBRARY WITH THE WRENCH is inspired by, and makes use of, art from the covers of pulp magazines and novels, largely from the 40s and 50s. I love the aesthetic of these books, so in this thread I'm going to share some of my favourite covers, plus some reading I've been doing. 🧵
All The Problems In This World is an amazing zine shop in Berlin, Germany. as well as zines from queer subcultures and other countercultural stuff, it stocks no small number of TTRPG zines. it's facing closure due to gaps in funding! can you help by donating to its GoFundMe to keep this place open?

I've launched 4 (very) successful TTRPG crowdfunding campaigns in as many years. One like = one no-nonsense take on indie TTRPG crowdfunding.

Five Tiers of RPG Publishing
Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.
