I'm running another Playfest London event on the 13th September in South London! An all-day @playtestuk.bsky.social convention with prototype games to play, a free games raffle for all who take part, and a special guest designer. More info and tickets here: www.minervatabletop.co.uk/playfest 🎲✂️

I have a long train journey today, & got intensely overwhelmed before leaving the house this morning. I'd love to answer some questions / offer some advice etc to distract me a bit! Any takers? I have specialist areas (tabletop games, Mario, mental health, neurodiversity, writing) but please AMA

As you can imagine, I’ve played a lot of games of Crumbs! by now, so I decided to step it up a notch. I wanted to see if I could complete the game without the bonus restock action you get each time you serve a customer. Was I successful? No 😅 But that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop trying!

Rory joined Dan this week to talk about the founding of the company and how Postmark Games has changed over the years. Check out the Podcast!

Space-Cast! #58. Postmarks

For over five years (but fewer than seven), Postmark Games has published high-quality, low-cost print-and-play games. Oh, you need examples? How about roll-and-move titles like Voyages, Aquamarine,…

DnD players levelling up 🤝 female influencers: I got a weird DM asking me for feat picks

Pre-2022 books are going to be like that steel from ships sunk before the 1940s that's free of radiation from atomic bombs.

Why is everything so transparently evil now?

Just to say, if you receive an email or DM from someone claiming to be me, asking for money, it's a scam. I would never remember to send an invoice. Unless payment is automated I basically exist as a guerilla philanthropist gifting minor works of culture to random organisations

For the first time ever, the Balrog will speak in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3! Star Trek and Mission Impossible actor Simon Pegg will be voicing the fiery creature, as revealed at #SDCC 2026.

More to what I was talking about re: proper attribution. The @ttgda.bsky.social is working to reduce instances where publishers, media outlets, and content creators fail to acknowledge the creatives behind the games. irp.cdn-website.com/2b6905d0/fil...

hey guys I don't read this genre but I'm here to revolutionise it. I haven't read a single book that's done this.

Heads up! We've just launched our Big Summer Sale - a whopping 25% off all back issues with the discount code SUMMERSALE (one-time use, expires midnight 21 August). Head to senetmagazine.com to get your discounted back issues now! (Or anytime you like before 22 August...)

Celebrating the last day of term with a sandwich based #boardgame from @minervatabletop.co.uk What could be better? boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

Is there anything I can help you with? Some creative writing advice, a book or boardgame recommendation, a bit of encouragement, or something I haven't thought of? I've felt quite low & anxious all this week & I'd quite like to make myself useful & help out some folks, if that's ok.

Been running some numbers and I believe that (a) the magic number of backers I need is 235, and (b) I hope to launch when I have 587 prelaunch followers. As I write this I have 78, so just 509 more to go! So please do share it with anyone who might be interested in class struggle of the dwarves!

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

I’ve started running a monthly games night at my work! So far we’ve played: 🎲 Strike 🤿 Deep Sea Adventure 🐟 Sea Salt & Paper 🌭 Chicken vs Hotdog 1️⃣ Just One

Everyone's always like "Now that you're 'Bluesky official' are you ever tempted to troll the fanbase with hints about fake projects?" C'mon, I don't have time for shenanigans like that! I have to put the finishing touches on our officially licensed Final Fantasy/Root crossover game.

Since there is a little trend I thought I would share my Patreon. I am moving towards being completely independent, buying all the games I review (not including the work I do for TTGM). Your support can help make that happen. www.patreon.com/c/thegiantbr...

Great to receive a copy of a game you've playtested! I played a late version of some of the modules of Last Week of Summer and enjoyed how it was soaked in the 80s theme, so I backed the Kickstarter when it came. Shawn also gave me great feedback on Dwarf Union! @alliesorenemies.bsky.social

Over the last few weeks, @tabletopgamesblog.com has been running a really interesting series of articles about the Spiel des Jahres awards, including their motivation and cultural context. Here's the first of the articles (also in audio format)... tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/09/s...

Spiel des Jahres - the award that was never really about awards (Topic Discussion) | Tabletop Games Blog

For many board gamers, Spiel des Jahres is simply the little red pawn on a game box. Spotting it on a shelf often suggests that a game is worth paying attention to. That's not only true in the German-...
