Mangroves remain one of the great underappreciated ecosystems, not only as a natural barrier to flooding but also as rich unique ecosystems in their own right that often serve as hatcheries for both marine and aquatic species - in other words, this is some great news!

God, I am *so* excited to talk to people about City of Espers (and TTRPG design in general)! I can promise to be very charismatic and entertaining in your interview, podcast or livestream!

This has been doing some numbers, and I’m glad because it’s an important topic. I attended one of the two panels mentioned, so I’ve only got context from the @womenofttrpg.bsky.social panel. Fantastic panelists that did an incredible job with this topic. I’ll link their YouTube below 👇

I've received a work email from the future? Huh...

Back home from UKGE! I restrained myself this year but still got a very decent haul! Big love and thanks to all the wonderful TTRPG folks I got to see this weekend. It really is an honour to be among such excellent company. I am very happy to be back home with Megan and our lil Bandito! 🥰

LOOK HOW GOOD THE STALL LOOKS! Come see the Hatchlings crew (including ME!) tomorrow and Sunday, Hall 2-125. We are right next to the Playtest Zone! You'll find: 🗡️ Inspirisles & Overisles 🤿 BOW 🔦 Cryptid Creeks 🐉 Dragon Dowser

Watch out UKGE, we're here! 😁😁

After an incredibly hot (and not in a fun way) setup, the stand is 80% ready to go. The rest will go up tomorrow. Swing by Hall 3, table 3-307 at #UKGE for all your newest Midnight of the Century goodies!

I'm all set up at #UKGE! Find me at 3A-412, near the big red bus and the entrance to Hall 3A :)

All ready to go at UKGE 3A-165 this weekend! #ukge #ukgamesexpo

First day at UKGE, including a long drive, a quick flight, a whirlwind tour of the Preview event, and much planning over dinner. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Just looking back on my pictures from last year's UKGE and very much looking forward to this year's! Whilst the games themselves are a big draw, the real treat is getting to catch up with folks from across the TTRPG community. Wishing you all safe travels and happy nerdenings! 😁🎲⚔️

UKGE-goers! Just like last year, members of our community will be gathering at the Hilton food trucks on Friday lunchtime, and all are welcome to come say hello! Fingers crossed for clear skies and a cool breeze.

I strongly deny the allegations against me.

I love this resource! Thank you so much for putting it together. I may have used it to make some title covers for some of our Star Trek Adventures games. It'd be great to see some more Animated series covers or even some Strange New Worlds ones if possible!

Thanks SO much everyone for the lovely messages! It's been a thoroughly wonderful day in the sunshine, pretending to be knowledgeable art critics/heckling weird sculptures with @nickmunroturner.bsky.social, and then filling up on afternoon tea. Oh, and I had an excuse to wear a nice dress. 💖

Happy birthday to my much better half, @mumblemegs.bsky.social I'm overjoyed every day to be with her, sharing in adventures big and small and being able to cheer each other on as we face new challenges. Be sure to stop by with well wishes if you too have been blessed by the wonder that is Megan!

My solo game Lie To Him will be available at UK Games Expo on two different stands! Big thanks to @uktin.bsky.social and @patchworkfez.bsky.social for supporting me by stocking the zine

SERENITY NOW!

It's Mental Health Awareness Week, and Bandito hopes you're being kind to your mind. He also thinks you're doing great, he told me so. 💚

And we're live! www.twitch.tv/rogueoctopus...

Alright folks. Times are tough and it's raining outside. If you're working from home and need a little bit of company/motivation, I'm running a co-working stream starting at 9:30. www.twitch.tv/rogueoctopus... We've got this!

We were honoured to host a talk by @glitzydemon.itch.io as part of the first day of EUphoriaCon last weekend. Fabian shared his knowledge and advice on incorporating our own cultural folklore into TTRPGs. Now the VOD is here on YouTube - a must watch for writers and designers! youtu.be/d58OG6on9vA

Hello fine folks of Bluesky. The public playtests for Everworld are coming up soon and I would love some help reaching people in the Greater Manchester area who would be interested in joining me for a day of fantasy gaming and frolicking in nature. Feel free to share with any interested parties :)

Anyone living in an area where Reform gained a council seat - we need you to become a menace. Bins not collected on time? Write to your councillor. Graffiti on a bus stop? Cancelled buses? Pot holes? Write to your councillor. Bury them in work they applied for and make them wish they never ran.

I don't want to waste too much energy feeling despair over the election results in the UK today. So instead I've signed up to some causes through Amnesty International, donated, and had a look at local protests I can go to that support the push back. If you are able, I encourage you to do the same.

Me giving back the work phone!

And we live! www.twitch.tv/rogueoctopus...

After all the love for last years, I’m bringing back my Who To See @ UKGE series, but this year with a new format! If you’re a TTRPG focussed business (publisher, dice maker, accessories, stationary, running sessions on a stand etc) and you’re trading at UKGE, DM me your stand number! #ukge

Morning folks! I'm going to be doing a co-working stream from 9:30 to prepare for my upcoming Everworld public playtests. Feel free to join if you're working from home and want some morning motivation! www.twitch.tv/rogueoctopus...

We had a wonderfully heretical Star Wars themed game of Star Trek Adventures last night! To investigate a Klingon weapons smuggling ring, the away time infiltrates a local production of Stellar Battles to tell the story of an epic struggle between tiny space wizards and an overzealous empire!

Folks in the Greater Manchester area, check this out! 🌿🎲✨ And if you're not in the area, please consider giving Nick's post a boost if you can. 🫶🏻

Play Mappa Mundi and YOU TOO can watch Roly poly round Bois roll down hills!

Hello Adventure Fans! Excited to share two more upcoming Everworld dates coming up. If you're in Greater Manchester May 16th/17th, I will be running a live playthrough 10-1 on both days. Come along, roll some dice, see some birds, make some memories! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/everworld-...

What a great couple of weekends we've had playtesting Everworld: The Outdoor Adventure RPG in the wild! Thanks everyone who took part. More adventures to come!

Hello everyone! We've got a couple of open games on the Rogue Octopus discord for any interested players:

Getting a much needed bit of Vitamin N today! Sometimes getting out in nature and opening up your landscape can make a world of difference. Wishing y'all health and happiness wherever you are! ❤️

Thanks so much for the shout-out, SoloRPGList!

Trust no one. (Except me right now when I tell you to go watch the full Blade Runner series on YouTube ahead of the finale this Wednesday.) (I'm not a replicant honest I just want you to have a good time and this series is fire.)

Check out the latest episode here and catch up on all the danger, drama and paranoia! The final episode streams live, Wednesday at 7pm BST. @fkth.bsky.social @akingmade.bsky.social @lowrianndavies.bsky.social @shamini.bsky.social @emzywb.bsky.social

Special delivery! 🥰

People of BlueSky: Who fries their chicken best; Atlanta or Arizona?

GM spotlight with @nickmunroturner.bsky.social! How would you describe your GM style in 3 words? "Rule of Cool" "TTRPG players are some of the most creative people in the world. If they are inspired to do something incredible that's not covered by the rules, I'm absolutely going to indulge that!"

And we're live! www.twitch.tv/rogueoctopus...

Co-working stream starting at 9:30! www.twitch.tv/rogueoctopus... Come along, get some work done, share what you're up to and, more importantly, take regular breaks and hang out.

With all the UKGE AI stuff going round: if you are vending this year and would like a free NO AI used sign for your table, email me (link in bio) so I can vet and add you to the list for one. Lets make these lazy grifters real uncomfortable.
