This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
Another exciting announcement!
Me and @freddiewatkins.bsky.social are officially launching our Storytelling Games Club - a club for kids to play TTRPGs and learn about storytelling among many other things!
Watch this space for more news on the club and the world of TTRPG learning!
Hello Gamers!
We are the Storytelling Games Club and we are happy to announce that we will be starting our weekly youth sessions, starting from November 15th.
We operate in the Calder Valley and are always on the look out for new games and new players.
Be seeing ya!

Dearest fellow TTRPG goblins, I am expanding my offering! This is something I have long done in multiple work contexts, so it just makes sense to offer it on a freelance basis as well. Reasonable, flexible rates provided on request.
I'll be designing a public transport game that you can play on a bus for 42nd St Charity's Horsfall Gallery! Games can have real power in inviting imaginative interactions with the everyday, and I'm very excited to explore this in a mental health setting. #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #experimentalgames
Still a bit of time left to grab something in my little end of summer sale!
Each game is 25% off, or you can get a bundle of 3 for $7.
Every little bit *really* helps right now; I have quite frankly never had so little in the ol' savings and it's pretty darn scary! π«€

It's now the final day of our summer games club. Where has the time gone!
For our finale, @freddiewatkins.bsky.social will be running a game of @johnharper.bsky.social's Lasers & Feelings.
Can't wait to hear what kind of space adventures they get up to! π«π

Day 4 of our Summer Games Club and today I'm going to be running my very own Rogue Octopus Escapes from @rogueoctopus.bsky.social !
I've got my octopus facts printouts and a twisted lab for today's participants to escape from. Let's do this! πππ

And we're a go!
On this first day, @freddiewatkins.bsky.social is going to be running a game of The Quiet Year, a beautiful free flowing game all about building community after the collapse of society.
Can't wait to hear the stories afterwards!

First day of this story games summer club! So excited for this project :)
Hello folks!
Me and @freddiewatkins.bsky.social are working on putting together a storytelling games club for kids in our local area.
Are there any particular event hosting organisations y'all would recommend?
We're currently using Eventbrite but having a few issues with AI and hidden fees.
The Cyberpunk setting has given us some of the most evocative visions of the future, but what does a world look like in the early stages of this grim dystopian shift? The NEON HOPE RPG asks this exact question. A π§΅ of the two guiding principles weβre using to tell a not-yet-cyberpunk story: (1/6)
β 3 DAYS TO GOβ
It's the final stretch of our Double Bill Kickstarter featuring two TTRPGs you can bring to board game night.
π Solve corporate conspiracy in NEON HOPEπ
π¦ Battle gigantic monsters in Trail of the Behemothπ¦

Having our TTRPG Kickstarter featured in an outlet covering all corners of tabletop is exactly the reception we hoped for! We designed the NEON HOPE RPG and Trail of the Behemoth for role-players and board-gamers alike. Thanks to @belloflostsouls.net for the shoutout.
Aaaaaand we funded!! :) :)
We just launched our 2 in 1 Kickstarter campaign! Both games are strategic, easy to learn and fun to GM! Had a blast working with some fantastic creatives to bring this thing to life. Averting corporate dystopia or fighting giant monsters, what's not to like?
#ttrpgs #games #boardgames
Just launched on Kickstarter! Two TTRPGs that are ideal for bringing to board game night.
π¦ Climb giant monsters to take them down.
π± Cyberpunk meets solar punk.
π² All PDFs included in every tier!
π 40+ pages of adventure content for both games.

Village On Stilts is on our way to launching a double bill Kickstarter! Thrilled to be teaming up with some fantastic designers to bring these RPGs to life. You can follow the prelaunch page or join our discord to hear all the updates :)
I'm the next guest designer for the stretch goals on this Kickstarter!
A set of scenarios that add depth and richness to campsites, so setting up camp for the night feels less throwaway for GMs and players.
Fab collaborators on this, worth looking into their work if you're an indie TTRPG fan :)
I know there have been some questions about the nature of the project which I can answer properly once I've fed back on the submissions. Then I'll reach out ! :)
Thank you so much to everyone who's already sent a response to this. Elated that the project has struck a chord this early in development, and from some fantastic designers and orgs! I'll be chatting to TiPP about scope and timeline in the next couple of weeks and will update here. 1/2
This looks incredible I'll reach out :)
Thank you so much!
Hi ! Wonderful the more the merrier, DM me :)
Howdy Mikhail! Very interesting question, one best answered by the professionals. If you send the info over we'll likely screen stuff contentwise
Hi Chris! There isn't a hard and fast deadline currently. Depending on the response I guess the first round of games will be sent off within the next 6 weeks or so but consider my DMs open indefinitely if you want to send anything in future :)
If you're a solo journaling TTRPG creator and would be willing to donate a copy for a project in prisons, I'd love to hear from you! I'm working with Manchester-based participatory theatre company TiPP to explore the use of journaling games as reflective tools for incarcerated persons. Form here:
