Heading home to celebrate Christmas! Some very productive meetings with the Lamprey Skink Parish Council. They told us that the the tides were “more cooperative than usual,” which feels like a good omen. We'll be back once we've sorted through everything we learned on our trip.

Yule decorations are up all over Lamprey Skink! Hares in every shop window. One blinked at me. I assume that’s intentional.

Heading to a Yule party and somehow, despite carefully following the road signs, we’ve found ourselves back at the same place again. Lovely scenery, at least. Shame there are no phone maps for Lamprey Skink.

looking at rpg books and feeling like giles corey asking for more weight

Found this cool message in a bottle in the woods, but we were told to return it to exactly where it was. Difficult, because it was just... here? Shame we weren't allowed to read it.

A delightful surprise on our walk up to Spaniard’s Hill today; snow! The locals suggested we head indoors and avoid inhaling too much of it, but honestly, it was quite magical.

A lovely Yule day on Lamprey Skink! Lovely beach walk, even if it was unusually dark. Found some shells, some driftwood, and one object the Parish Council says we “didn’t see.”

Absolute delight when crowdfunding rewards come in. Very interesting game, hope I get a chance to inflict cruel death games on my nearest and dearest this yuletide season. Big thanks to Double Summon for putting this together and getting it to the UK weirdly quickly @continuityand.bsky.social

Well folks, that's the end of the Kickstarter campaign. We're fully funded, and absolutely delighted by the response. Can't wait to see you in the Underground, hope you get lost in it as much as we do. No, really. Send help. #troikarpg #ttrpg #indiettrpg #tabletoprpg #indiegames #crowdfunding

The Underground was constructed by three rival train conglomerates who, like all good businesspeople, refused to speak to one another... or to the council supposedly running them. The maps are accurate. A mercy, considering everything else down there. What’s the worst train you’ve ever been on?

The Venture Below is a Troika adventure, set in the abandoned metro system below the city. It's a danger-laced, conversation-rich dungeon crawl, and you can help bring it to life! Click the link in our bio, and sign up to be notified on launch (hint: it's soon) #troikarpg #ttrpg #rpgkickstarter

This is what's coming. Book approaching. Please stand behind the yellow line.

The floor trembles. The lamps flicker. Far below the city, something awakens. Listen closely, and you might hear it. Something is coming.... - - - - #troikarpg #ttrpg #indiettrpg #tabletoprpg #weirdrpg #osr #tabletoprpg #rpgart #surrealrpg #rpgkickstarter #indiegames #crowdfunding
