Time for a new intro post!

Hi New Followers!

I'm Anjuli, Head of Marketing and Brand Management at #MyMiniFactory. I've been in the tabletop industry for 12+ years in various roles, but have finally found my happy place supporting Indie Creators in the STL world.

If you see me at a show say "Hi!"

Tonight I got to do a #TTRPG first & perform an actual play in an Art Gallery.

Playing @twistedspiregames.bsky.social Sirens' Oath with 4 other amazing storytellers and mermaids in Tate Britain.

It was amazing, I'm so hyped up!

Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)

Well despite the crappy bacon I am up and ready for the day!

How do hotels always manage to turn bacon, the most flavourful of meats, into a tough chewy tasteless thing?

It's one of life's mysteries...

I've finally been doing some proper miniatures painting this week and this time it's for the @highrollersdnd.bsky.social gang.

This is Quill, one of the official miniatures, that I was commissioned to paint up for them.

Taking myself on a movie date tonight to see the 50th anniversary showing of Jaws.

I've never actually seen it, despite loving shark based horror/thrillers 😱😱😱

Progress on my LARP bimbling staff. Multiple froggo familiars in place now. Lots of lovely witchy vibes. I want to see if I can attach fairy lights too.

It'll hold a big metal lantern for evening jaunts.

A few of my recent 3D prints off of my new @bambulabglobal.bsky.social A1 Mini ready for my D&D shelf and LARP costumes.

The Booknooks are from Miniatures of Madness, Frogs from Cindering, and the mimic can holder was a freebie on Cults.

I've been given the new #Looki camera to have a play with. It's a life-blogging camera that records snippets every 1,3,10 mins for 7-15 secs (you decide). It then creates little vlogs of your day.

This was my Friday night adventure...

Printed up some can holders for LARP so I can walk around with a van of Monster (or beer) and feel less out of character.
