Graham Spearing 🔜 Grogmeet Convention

I'm running the Talislanta #ttrpg at the forthcoming Grogmeet in Preston. This will be the introductory adventure in the 1987 first edition of the game, but using the recent 'Epic Edition'. I don't think anyone plays the game anymore, apart from hardcore? Are you hardcore? 😀

The Sheffield connection. Get your copies of Aegean #ttrpg from Patriot Games. www.patriotgames.uk

Sailing into the Aegean, with @stoogoff.com Aegean #ttrpg. farhavens.ttrpg.uk/into-the-aeg...

It's embarrassing when you realise that a crowdfunded game has already shared the digital files and are sending the books, only you haven't signed in to a site to give your details. I mean, come on, I'm retired and got nothing going on. Studio Agate's Life and Death in Avalon #ttrpg is on its way.

This is pure gold from @michellicopter.bsky.social. I love that it contains a straightforward outline as to why a safety culture is essential at our #ttrpg cons, some core tools, and practical thoughts on how to apply them in the real. And... safety applies throughout the con, not just in games.

Editing work is lining up for autumn, but if you need any help with editing, proofreading or misc word-wrangling for your ttrpg, do get in touch. I'm known for thorough work with high accuracy and helpful feedback, and have worked on lines from WFRP to Liminal. silverbranch.co.uk/ttrpg-editing/

Some helpful pointers from @evilgaz.bsky.social for #ttrpg convention GMs on planning how to fit your adventure into a session duration.

That moment when you are just starting to wind up to run a mini campaign and you want to get the VTT environment right before you open it up to some players. (I could be a while! 😆) #ttrpg #TravellerRPG #FoundryVTT

I ran a couple of fun sessions of @stoogoff.com heroic Aegean #ttrpg at #Furancecon this weekend. Great players and many laughs as they navigated proud heroism and glory with hubris and curses. Made some sales of this terrific game, which is always a good sign!

We're not entirely sure what to think about our own @malcolmcraig.bsky.social faking historical documents. Call the History Police?

Released MgT2e 0.23.1 for Mongoose Traveller 2e on FoundryVTT. Bug fixes around effects for dodges and parries, support for fractional cargo amounts and updates to the NPC generator. #TravellerRPG #TTRPG Also, a new Dev Diary video talking about the NPC Generator: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCG5...

Join us for the last ever #AireCon, where we will once again be presenting 18 tables of #ttrpg action over 8 sessions, 11-14 March in Harrogate, UK. The schedule is starting to fill, and I'd love to see you run a game or five there. www.airecon.co.uk/gms

Hiking by Loch Lochy today, arriving at Laggan Locks.

Stage 1 of the Great Glen Way. A walk along the Caledonian Canal to Gairlochy. Lots of water! Sorted out global geopolitics on the way. Something less taxing tomorrow I think...

I'm on an Ember electric bus for the 109 miles of the West Highlands from Glasgow to Fort William. The bus has more than 350 miles range and is a dream to drive (so the driver tells me)! The service is subsidised to a total cost of £4. Epic journey ahead!

On the vague chance that I catch someone who has yet to choose their games for #FurnaceCon furnace.org.uk then please make your selections tonight! You will have a flurry of emails too!

I did the proofreading on Masks of Nyarlathotep, many moons ago. Good stuff. If you want help with a ttrpg project I have space for proofreading or editing this autumn. Ideally shorter than 666 pages though...

Many thanks to @asako-soh.bsky.social for putting on the much beloved annual Owlbear and Wizard's Staff #ttrpg event! Played in @icooper.bsky.social Legend in the Mist and @burnafterrunning.bsky.social TOR2e. Great games. I ran a fun session of Zweihander Reforged. Looking forward to next year.

#FurnaceCon 2026 - Registration Re-Opened With a strong flurry of new games, we are re-opening Furnace registrations for 5 more people! furnace.org.uk/registration/

Demoing @montecookgames.com Cypher #ttrpg today and Sunday at Patriot Games in Sheffield, UK. Fun to get back into the new edition of the game, still with the core highly playable premise and choc full of ready to play ideas.

We have been reading your feedback since announcing Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fifth Edition, and today we are answering some of the questions we have seen most often. Read the full blog and let us know what questions you would like us to answer next: https://bit.ly/4zpzWmM

We've paused registration at #FurnaceCon this year while we find more GMs! If your about and want to pitch in, then let me know. The convention is a lovely small gathering of about 80-100 folks, welcoming, and good #ttrpg gaming. Furnace, October 10-11, Garrison Hotel, Sheffield UK. furnace.org.uk

I took the PDFs with me to Crete, for a holiday two years ago, but now at last have the full range of @stoogoff.com masterpiece the Aegean RPG. Great game. Some play at #FurnaceCON?

Looking at Trilemma Adventures for #Grogmeet convention. Check it out at trilemma.com, really good stuff. Is there a hi res of the world map @fuseboy.bsky.social? I'm looking to print a crisp A1(ish) of the Players Map?

Now may be the best time to say, if you've just got back from watching the Odyssey and you're looking for an RPG for an epic Greek mythology campaign (with added management of your party's polis), look no further than Aegean: www.aegeanrpg.com

Registration for Furnace XXI, to be held at The Garrison Hotel, Sheffield UK, on the weekend of October 10th & 11th 2026, is now open! We hope to fill the place with laughter and adventure, just as last year! Register here: furnace.org.uk/registration/ Submit games here: furnace.org.uk/games/

Fate isn't dead. For sound reasons, it's no longer something @evilhat.bsky.social are continuing to produce products for. That's okay - they opened the door long ago with the SRD, and a very good thing they did too. In particular, @firstage.bsky.social and I have something coming soon.

North Star SF #ttrpg convention is confirmed to return at The Garrison Hotel, Sheffield, UK, for the weekend of 15-16 May 2027! One for your diary and to consider your accommodation! Registration will take place late this year. It will be full of great games again. Join us! northstarcon.org.uk

I enjoyed running Nimble #ttrpg at Virtual Grogmeet this weekend. Rules 'tight' tactical high fantasy fun. It shares some core DNA with 5e, but diverges significantly in good ways. Inspired to look at running a short mini campaign. Some thoughts on the blog. farhavens.ttrpg.uk/running-nimb...
