I'm kinda staggered by the response to the TTRPG Bundle for Trans Youth. I'd hoped we'd get to $3k, and it's almost at 3 times that! Thank you all so much!
There's a couple of days left, so if you haven't been able to grab it yet, there's a link below 👇

TAGS was a very good games fest and we can't wait to go back next year, but with maybe twice as much stuff so we don't sell out of everything?
We underestimated you, Edinburgh. Never again.

writing a ttrpg book is good actually

Thanks to everyone who's found and supported Ryne since our initial crowdfunding ended, we've broken £25,000 on funds!
This extra interest means we can really pack the book with excellent illustrations, and it's great to see so many folks excited about the project despite missing the launch!
