Still a couple of spots available in the Saturday AND Sunday games if you fancy playing a #TTRPG or #Wargame in a Welsh Castle this April.

Message me if interested!

#DotBL

A troll is surrounded by 5 heroes; from the D&D Cartoon. The troll is a miniature from Massive Darkness, whilst the heroes are printed tokens in coin capsules.

At Dice on the Borderlands the game of Tunnels and Troll climaxed with a Troll fight....or was it actually someone else?

Had a great time at Dice on the Borderlands today! Great to play some ttrpgs again after a big break. Pictured is the amazing board for rangers of the shadow deep that comprised my first game of the day! #DotBL

Tomorrow I am running a game at the face to face convention in Chepstow Castle!

Celebrating 50 years of RPGs and Tunnels and Trolls by sending the DnD Cartoon Characters through a TnT adventure.

Expect buckets of d6 and blood... hopefully not real red claret

A big thank you from Dice on the Borderlands #DotBL to our sponsors @chaosium.bsky.social for their kind 50th Birthday sponsorship gift which arrived this week.

This will help enable another donation to the Mike Hobbs Memorial Fund (helping new gamers get started) & some GM 'thank yous' for the Con

Been enjoying a spot of #DotBL Dice on the Borderlands convention prep for my #QuestWorlds ( @chaosium.bsky.social ) game.

The setting is Cryowulf - based on the gender flipped science fiction graphic novel retelling of the Beowulf saga by @samroads.bsky.social

A perfect system/setting match.

An email header from Chaosium saying: Congratulations, we have approved your Chaosium 50th Anniversary Convention Pack application!

WOW - what a 50th Birthday present (the mightiest of mathoms) from @chaosium.bsky.social - Dice on the Borderlands is joining Chaosium fans around the world celebrating 50 years of RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon, QuestWorlds & more at our #DotBL community convention in Chepstow this year 1/

The centuries old Earl's Chamber where #DotBL takes place

An ancient monument (me) stood in front of Chepstow Castle

An ancient interior flight of stairs from near the gatehouse up to the courtyard by the Earl's Chamber

The new metal staircase into the Earl's Chamber. Alas the room is not accessible for those with significant mobility issues.

Snatched a scouting visit to Chepstow Castle this afternoon for #DotBL Dice on the Borderlands mini-rpg-con to recheck the space and the new staircase to the Earl's Chamber.

Started loading the GM pitches into the system with a planned release of slots to players on 30th March.

Oooh. Wel Swords was run last year as well as you running it this year...

... maybe Swords is turning into a #DotBL thing.

Would be awesome to have Kevin here.

If you see this post some terrain you're proud of.

I threw on a whole bunch of colour to @fenrisgames.com temple set up, figuring bitd/in fantasy land a priesthoodmight celebrate their faith with colour.

This was used at #DotBL mini #ttrpg convention in Chepstow Castle for our ASDnD game.

Played it once at #DotBL Dice on the Borderlands earlier this year - our free #ttrpg community convention in Chepstow Castle. Was very jolly.

***CORRECTION***

*POLLING FOR A NEW DATE*

Dice on the Borderlands the FREE #ttrpg convention @ Chepstow Castle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 in 2025 has to move from April to May.

I'm running a quick poll this weekend for either:

May 10th or May 17th

*Please reply with a preference*

Hold the last weekend in April if you're interested

Well for Cthulhu fans, there an old signal box on the site of Tintern Old Station I've thought of hiring fir a day of gaming, overlooking the station buildings and three out of service railway carriages.

So if #DotBL goes well I might hire it for a micro-con.
