Anyone else heading to #norwichgamescon tomorrow?

Your friendly Kickstarter warning reporter checking in for duty 🫡 The last week, a campaign has been advertising on meta HARD. And I have qualms. The product? It's fine, whatever. The problem? They're misrepresenting what it is in order to charge way more than it's worth. Let's kick things off:

UKGE Hype! Day 1 about to kick off. But has it already peaked with this amazing personalised gift from @bindwoodgaming.bsky.social?

That's right, it's time for day three haul! My third n final run around. Til next year UKGE 🫡 NPC compendium - @erenangiolini.bsky.social Art print - @simonjcurd.bsky.social Deck of arcane items - @bindwoodgaming.bsky.social / lantern man gaming Build your own d20 - @diceoftheseeker.bsky.social

With MCM last weekend, we didn't get the chance to shout about these arriving on Friday! Quinn's Deck of Arcane Oddities is real, and is going out to backers tomorrow! Standard decks will also be making their way to @ukgamesexpo, so if you want to grab a copy, come find us at stand 3-510!

Also, my favourite cosplay award goes to:

Final day at MCM London! Rocking a couple of my purchases at the booth. An awesome Vampire dice choker from @jodiesdicefarm.bsky.social and a beautiful wooden pin badge from @spikingsart.bsky.social

Hey pals, are you like me? Do lie awake at night stewing in your hatred of Theseus? Well, have I got the #ttrpg for you! Theseus is a Piece of Sh!t and it's High Time He Got His - a Lasers & Feelings Hack about giving the King of Athens what for. Now on itchio meghanlynnftw.itch.io/theseus-sucks

Trying to figure out if writing a #ttrpg about a bunch of wronged women from Greek mythology teaming up to kick the shit out of Theseus *too* niche or if I'm still in "design for a 6-8 sickos" territory.

We're gonna be at MCM 👀 #mcmlondon

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

There's this trend going on that is an artists starter pack and I can't draw people so have the dinosaurs instead.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
