*chittering intensifies*
Quietly losing my mind while reading a bunch of English/London devs complain about the travel time and cost of attending a Scottish convention.

If you're Scottish that's true for every major con in England that 'Oh you absolutely MUST attend to be part of the community!'

I'm not mad. You're mad!

Hiya @rolistespod.itch.io 👋 could you be a chum and add us on to your amazing conventions and UK/Ireland starter packs and lists?

And if anyone else isn't following them, they are well worth a shoofty 👀

It's no secret that Groundhog Play is taking inspiration from Metatopia. This is a cool write-up of what our far bigger forebarer can be like.
Last weekend I was at Metatopia, a convention for game designers in New Jersey. It is brilliant (as always) and I’ve written up details about all the games I played - it’s a moderately long read, but I’m excited by upcoming games! Please take a read and share! planesailinggames.com/review/2025-...
Metatopia 2025
Metatopia continues to be a brilliant convention for game designers who want to alpha- and beta- test their game designs with smart, capable people from the design and playtest community
