Excited to return to these #ttrpg #rpg #history adventures!

We're off to St Fagans National Museum of History with PowerUP! @platfform.org this half-term with a return to one of my favourite projects playframe.itch.io/dwellings-an... unique chance to roleplay mythic fantasy Welsh History in actual historical buildings! Details 👇 forms.office.com/e/Unuv26c79E

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Thanks to @taithwales.bsky.social a week ago we were in the amazing slow village Grumes, in gorgeous Trentino, Italy with another #TTRPG #Youth Exchange. Young people from Wales, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Lithuania spent a week developing expansions on Biosphere Guardians 2050! So much to share!

Replanting

July's free RPG is the ludic antifascist DO IT YOURSELF. Half the game is unwritten. How are you going to complete it? Will you follow my delicate inferences and guidance, or do something significantly more interesting? Patrons get it a week early here: www.patreon.com/posts/do-it-...

Still looking up #ttrpg players living in #wales aged 18-25 for our next funded youth exchange! Stay in the Alps 🏔️ for a week + play, learn, create tabletop games with peers from Germany, Italy, Ireland and Lithuania! forms.gle/KCz22tkkLaJH...

www.pcgamer.com/games/visual... It's far less exciting that the title suggests - I thought we would get to date Marx!

Kindling Club model of the week! - The Chaos Lion looking superb

Well, this heist rpg pratically writes itself. God hordes light refracted through a million water droplets making the most powerful symbol of hope after dark times... you are going to steal it, pick your team. #happypridemonth

UK TIN's stall at UKGE is packed with amazing games and adventures by independent creators. Come find us at stand 2-383 (back and left hand wall of Hall 2)! #ukge #uktin

Another con done, another post-mortem! Spoiler alert: sales were down a lot from last year but profit isn't everything! Lessons learned for next time. Up and atom! #UKGE #TTRPG byodinsbeardrpg.com/2025-06-02-u...

More #UKGE musings! I also took part in #stampquest25 and got the map I made stamped at each stall! It was great fun and I hope all involved enjoyed, exhibitors and participants alike! Fantastic job by @uktin.bsky.social for organising it, and thanks for letting me be a part of it through the map!

At the screening last night Tony Gilroy spoke about why a lot of people in creative fields are progressive. I forget his exact phrasing but basically it’s because you have to have empathy in order to make something that speaks to people. Refreshing to hear empathy talked about as a positive.

Mandatory haul pic! Such lovely people at #UKGE2025 and so proud to get Biosphere Guardians on so many shelves around the country! Appreciate all the swaps too, some amazing stuff here!

Work in TTRPG? Until the 31st August, we’re running a survey for freelancers in the Table Top industry to understand freelance pay for TTRPG workers in the UK. By filling in this survey, you'll help TTRPG workers to set suggested rates for work in the industry. forms.gle/s8AxQRNQsGrG...

Something quite different from me on the blog this month, nothing about games. I've written about a classic British play, and the current state of trans rights and disabled rights in the UK, because I'm kinda scared honestly! This is 'An Inspector Calls, Social Murder, and Blame' for Jackalope Mail

New young member of Kindling Club impressed with their drawings on Friday! I love how Maustitter always engages folk's creativity!

Very WIP, and a day late, but it's #screenshotsaturday... And it's an important one! For literally the past year I've been saying to myself how important it is to get the main menu, pause, and save/reload integrated. Well, this week I finally did it! Still needs work, but it's functional at least.

Here's a zero-gravity parody song about this week's coverage of #BlueOrigin's rocket launch. Sorry we forgot to turn the clicker off but we were more worried about getting the pitch (nearly) right. It's called "Flight from Earth" based on the anthemic #Firework by #KatyPerry 🎇🎶 youtu.be/YJF6NcwkZbc

You just purchased a Ferrari 308 GTS convertible, the smell of the brand new leather seats is strong. You pick her up for a spin, you’re both wearing matching black Ray-Bans and you smile as the glare of the sunset hits your face. #80s #synthwave #retrowave #80svibes #musicproducer

Happy birthday to Sean Bean who, despite dying multiple times, turns 66 today. To celebrate here’s a compilation of him as Sharpe saying ‘bastard’. Enjoy. youtu.be/tE8d-uGmIWk?...

Biosphere copies in the house! Got lots to send out to wonderful participants and partners, but hopefully we'll sell a few copies to fund the next exchange!

@ludicpedagogy.playframe.co.uk I found that poster I mentioned in our Interview of Cardiff being Horizon: Zero Dawn'd with Aloy about 100-200m away from where I proposed to my fiancee!

Today's interview with Stewart @receptor17.bsky.social on the Sunday Gaming Show on Pure West Radio @purewestradio.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/GfHI-XW... www.youtube.com/live/yl8ah_d... Talked about gaming in Wales, our #ttrpg Biosphere Guardians 2050, and my old alias Poncho Tom!

Light & Magic is returning to Disney+ on April 18th with 3 brand new episodes directed by Joe Johnston. Season 1 was directed by Lawrence Kasdan and explores the visual effects, animation and virtual production of famous Lucasfilm projects like Star Wars, Willow and Jurassic Park.

@morecivilized.bsky.social so we reading this or what? I'm 33 pages in already like nom nom nom.. it's honestly competiting strongly with my Andor S1 rewatch in terms of time.. busy dad and slow reader. Would love a patron pod!?

"But the rich will leave!" But the source of their wealth, the businesses they extract money from *cannot leave*. The Duke of Westminster is a billionaire because of property. That is not going to grow legs and walk to Qatar, even if he does.

It's fascinating to watch Labour trying to 'learn lessons' from other countries' elections when the answer is: tax the rich. Inequality is driving all this. Extreme wealth makes things more expensive. Tax the rich.

and read my review of the game on my blog: crackerjackalopegames.substack.com/p/biosphere-...

I think I'm meant to do this #ttrpg #ttrpgfamily #selfpromosaturday too.. But I really should put the washing on...
