This year, @d8dungeon.bsky.social and @hexesandvexes.bsky.social are making the #D8DungeonDrive an antipodean affair, raising funds for Project HOPE.

We need a few more GMs though and there's only a little time left to get on board!

Bad news: I'm so bad at this, it's taken me 22 days to plug this show.

Good news: doesn't stop you giving it a watch on YouTube now. Pop over to @hearthfiretales.bsky.social, click them links, sit back, tie your socks down, because otherwise they'll be blown right off.
Here's a little treat of some screenshots from our @athventurecon.bsky.social live Game that is going live tomorrow over on our Youtube Channel!

Be sure to check it out, and a big thank you to @benjour.bsky.social for joining us!

Emmet is SO close to hitting his next stretch goal, which will add a new subclass for each class in the book! Let's give him a hand and get the word out there! I also have selfish reasons for sharing because I need the Doomspeaker subclass for the Storyteller 'coz it sounds metal as hell 🤘

A weekend of wonderful games, silly panels, and nerding out really takes it out of you. @athventurecon.bsky.social, see you again next year!

@dylananddragons.bsky.social & @aeternumdave.bsky.social, thank you for indulging me in my gameshow host wanna(spelling)be nonsense.

Big shout out to @benjour.bsky.social for being a fantastic guest, and host, and driver! Thanks to @emeraldcollective.bsky.social for having me for "Whose NPC" and shout out to @irishpandaqueen.bsky.social for being sound out, the transition from 2d to 3d was seemless!

Crap, I've just come across a new mechanic I'm going to shoe-horn into every game I GM now.

Cross-checks - roll two skills, take the higher/lower and the result will be flavoured accordingly e.g. sussing out the vibe of a forest, roll nature/survival.

Storm Eowyn is going to bring us a lot of videos of bins, signs, trolleys, and random bits whipping through the air. All underscored by Defying Gravity.

Looking forward to seeing this kick off as an avid fan of seeing different systems in action.
Hey D8ers!

We've got a cute little side coming up for y'all on twitch starting Jan 30th!!!

ttrpg trials! A fun little project where 4 players / gms take turns playing some RPGs that you lovely folks might not have played yet!

If you're heading to @athventurecon.bsky.social, come play Sine with me - a wonderfully intriguing and action-packed system about alien invasions and human resistance.
Get Offa My Planet is a Sine RPG game run by GM Ben, bsky.app/profile/benj..., who you may know from wonderful Homebrew podcast series!

It's a playtest of a brand new system (developed by Ben's mates Julian and Jason) so it's your chance to be among the very first to try out something totally new!

I like to refer to December 27th - 30th as Winter's Feywild, the otherworld manifest.

- time loses all meaning
- extravagant food and drink followed by days where it all tastes like ash
- endless games, sports, and dancing to please the good folk

Running a game of @gshowitt.bsky.social's Reverse Beastmaster tonight, raising funds for Limerick Animal Welfare... which feels right. Come watch some festive furballs get their wishes fulfilled ✨️🎅

If I was me now, shrunk to kid sized on the toyshow, Patrick would be saying "Now we know you love that lad who explains cryptic crosswords and you still don't get it", and I'd lose my little wordplay/definition mind #latelatetoyshow
