My deck of mundane item cards for ttrpgs arrived today. First batch is small, enough for a playtest and tweak a few things, but all in all I'm delighted with how they've turned out (thanks to the wonderful colourwork from my daughter).
I should have a few for sale at @gaelcon.bsky.social.

Really looking forward to these one. It'll be fun to make more star / space maps!
I'm also delighted to announce that the @jogbrogzin.bsky.social will be producing a campaign map for the game. Jog is a crit award-nominated cartographer. He makes beautiful maps that are a staple of the UK indie scene and I'm excited to see him bring the Ex Ten setting to life.

Warpcon is this weekend in Cork!
Here's the map of the convention and the first page of the puzzle hunt I made with @lizcable.bluesky.social
