Yeahhhh the Orbtoberfest t-shirts are ready! Less than 24 hours are left for physical pre-orders. Are you coming to our micro-convention in Nottingham in a couple of weeks?

That feeling when you get the production sample for the two-sided festival-style t-shirt for your sold-out / waiting-list-only physical roleplaying ORBTOBERFEST micro-convention in Nottingham, that you commissioned the wonderful @johannohr.bsky.social to create the front art for. So proud of this!!

The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game is crowdfunding on Backerkit!
Enter the archives and unravel the mysteries found within-- or investigate the supernatural horrors you create on your own.

Finally gave up waiting for my print copy of Old Gods of Appalachia RPG to arrive here in the UK (any day now) & started reading the PDF, I really don’t enjoy reading books on screens, but can’t wait to run OGoA. I’m slowly falling in love with Cypher System, at least in theory. @montecookgames.com

So what’s this BlueSky all about then? I heard there are some roleplaying nerds… (thanks @dccjudgejoolz.bsky.social for the invite).
Looks like we are down to a handful of tickets for our wee Nottingham TTRPG mini convention, Orbtoberfest in October with The Dark Orb. Woop! Should be a laugh.
