I stumbled across a games show in Kensington, and this game called THE MAGIC OF INVENTORYING (think Marie Kondo in a Dungeon) delighted me.
The gameplay is delightful, the art is unique and perfect, and yes, I backed the (incredibly reasonably priced) Kickstarter.
The cover of a black and white zine on a green textured paper background. In the background are carabiners, a headlamp, a journal, rope, and a map. The cover of the zine has the title Underneath and a large etching style illustration of a narrow cave chamber. A natural fountain springs up from the rock floor. Statues of dragons and lions and weird dogs all spit water across the chamber into each other's mouths intersecting with the single stream of water erupting from the natural fountain.
The cover of the game zine We Shall Be Monsters. The title is in an embellished black letter font in white over a black background with a low contrast image of a doctor standing over a dead body on a slab. The zine is displayed on textured paper with a silk handkerchief and a small saw next to it.
I am beyond thrilled to announce that TWO of my games have been nominated for Indie Groundbreaker Awards!
Underneath for Best Rules

We Shall Be Monsters for Best Writing

the human made icon
I want to be a better steward for the Human Made icon. If you have any ideas on how I can get the word out for it more please let me know. Do you think game retailers would be interested in stickers they could pass out? folks interested in pins? What can I do to support you using this icon? a zine?
This game is based in real historical research, aims to encourage understanding and empathy for the people who lived during Scottish 17th-century witch hunts, and is quick and fun to play!

Band-Aids & Bullet Holes, my John Wick-inspired bloody revenge opera deckbuilder RPG named after a Taylor Swift lyric, is coming to Kickstarter in May.
Look good, feel bad, do violence, cry about it, repeat. Just like your day job.
Graphic showing all of the conventions I've got later in the year from Tales and Tabletop Gathering on the 18th and 19th of July, Sequential Scotland which is pending, Tabletop Scotland, Epic Comic Con and Fantasy Con Scotland.
I intended this year not to be event heavy especially since my wedding is at the end of October but some of these are one offs or my first time, or entirely new and I'm involved in organising, or in the case of Tabletop Scotland and Epic are just cons I really enjoy doing.
Tonight at 7pm BST I'm on with the boys at @theweeklyscroll.com to chat about Orbital Blues Month
Come say hi!
A promotional image for a game bundle / mutual aid request titled : " my wife broke her foot so i'm having a flash sale" 8 bone crushing games for $16 by DNGN CLUB. featuring a blue and black xray image of a foot
My wife broke the metatarsal that connects to her pinky toe and we are uninsured. I'm trying to get the money together to visit an orthopedic specialist (and lyft rides) -- so I'm having a flash sale of my most BONE-CRUSHING games.
(appreciate any support and reposts!)
The boxes are packed and the delivery pickup booked which must mean its time to send new items to @ipr.bsky.social - if you're in the US then 'The Words We Leave Behind' and 'Hopes and Dreams of the Orbital Bound' will soon be available to purchase from them (or ask you're FLGS to order them!)
Text reads The Blue Way launches in 9 weeks. Above the text on a light blue background, a faded Monumental Consequence Box has blue paint dripping down the front, partially covering the name.
Something is slowly taking over our social media feeds... follow the prelaunch page at The Blue Way link in our bio. #TheBlueWayGame #jasonmorningstar #samaraya #backerkitcrowdfunding

Maybe not the choking hazard one, but Gygaxian Isekai is pure marketing gold.

12 Roll again twice
MID CAMPAIGN ADDITIONS - WHAT IF WE JUST DESCRIBE DIE DIE: it’s like Jumanji for nerds. It’s Gygaxian Isekai. It’s Portal Fantasy with HP. Get in here. Sure, you can roll Reflex to take half damage from a fireball. Try doing that to the emotional splash-damage of your parents’ divorce Life never worked out the way you wanted it to. Now you’re trapped in a fantasy kingdom, and life still isn’t working out, but at least you’re a catgirl now Is It Wrong To Try To Process My Emotional Trauma In A Dungeon? (Yes. You should have gone to therapy. But now you’re trapped in a magical kingdom, it’s the only option you’ve got) Boyfriend Dungeon taught us we could love the dungeon. Dungeon Meshi taught us we could eat it. Now: what if the dungeon was a thinly-veiled metaphor for your strained relationship with your dad? You’re thirty-seven years old. Your job sucks. Your wife just left you. And you’re trapped in an interdimensional fantasy realm forged of your own dreams and fears, which really is the icing on the cake Maybe things weren’t better back in the day; maybe you were just younger. DIE takes the gentle, reassuring confection of nostalgia and reduces it to a bubbling heap with the oxy-acetalene torch of postmodernism THOSE JACKALS AT WIZARDS OF THE COAST ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH OF YOUR MONEY. Give US your money instead in exchange for the DIE Metadungeon If you only play one TTRPG this year, you should probably try Realis. It looks great. But if you play two TTRPGs this year, one of them should definitely be DIE DIE the RPG finally endorses your relentless obsession with dice by making them diegetic. And if you need us to explain what “diegetic” means, you probably wouldn’t enjoy the game anyway How many dice do you reckon you could fit in your mouth? Normal-sized ones, I mean. Six-siders. I think I could get about twenty five in there before I started choking
