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?

I'll be running @ottomancer.bsky.social superb Calli's Heroes.

Almost good to go for a short Zweihander Reforged series on YouTube, starting next week. I'll post up some links when ready. My players have come up with some great character concepts. Will they return the light to the Eternal Night of Lockwood? #ttrpg #Zweihander #FoundryVTT

I'm running some complete 'fantasy #ttrpg tosh' this weekend for #TavernCon online, using Heroic Fantasy 2nd Edition. If you're gaming this weekend, hope you have a great time!

A Foundry session with a map of a port city and some images of characters and maps ready for a Heroic Fantasy 2nd Edition #ttrpg game.

BoL has the advantage of a @foundryvtt.bsky.social content module, which for 16 Euro gives you the full game, compendium and adventures. Much quicker to adventure that way. I have started a quick evaluation using the raw Everywhen system, with a series of Young Kingdoms adventures in mind.

Zozer Games' Cepheus Universal #ttrpg running at #TravConUK this weekend. I like the ruleset a great deal. Everything is recognisably close to Mongoose, but stripped back and honed from the Cepheus main document. Currently weighing up whether to revert to MgT2e or stay with this cunning version...

Treasure hunters have returned from the haunted ruins of the Helux Dynasty, carrying portentous lore that could shake the very fabric of fantasy roleplaying for ever. Dug Up Trivia is a short PDF of optional rules for the Heroic Fantasy #ttrpg (In the works). www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Forty years on and a fine #ttrpg game of MERP at #OBaWS

A gaming table full of MERP goodness, including character sheets dice and maps.

Who's heading for #TravConUK this October? I'll be running some Cepheus Universal using a #ttrpg adventure by @boondock60mm.bsky.social. Happy to become Pirate bait?

Feeling 'a bit poorly', so having one of those gentle #FoundryVTT prep afternoons. 😀 #FantasyCraft #Hellfrost #ttrpg

Post yourself from a different era.

Slightly fancy dress me, probably in the 90s. A sort of cyber Depeche Mode post punk goth mash-up.

Graham Spearing 🔜 Travcon@firstage· Jul 6

@fenrisgames.com - I know, I know it really should be this.

When you can't help thinking of a #ttrpg mash-up (again), to the extent you start some character gen and VTT shenanigans.

LongCon 2025, play a #ttrpg all weekend, was a great success. Five excellent games. I had a great table of players, discovering much of 'Tales from the Lone-lands'. The One Ring 2e is an excellent game with a Tolkien tone. We'll be running this again in 2026, so watch this space! longcon.ttrpg.uk

We used miniatures as part of our The One Ring game. Here is a wraith terrorising Ginar the dwarf and Bell the hobbit.

I'm running The One Ring as an all weekend game in a few days. As a special treat for me I have dug out this notebook that I always thought I would never write in. I think this event is the right one...

Some #TravConUK planning for later this year. Running into some Hard Vacuum from @boondock60mm.bsky.social #ttrpg #BITS

Four images that summarise my TravCon game: Cepheus Universal, Hard Vacuum Adventure cover, Eventide subsector map, and the Lune Class Freelancer from Moon Toad.

Last day of #AireCon in Harrogate. It's been a great extended weekend of #ttrpgs, with another session to go. I have also got to run #wfrp4e a couple of times which has been such fun.

My group of players at AireCon for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e.

The opening scene from a forthcoming one shot of Fading Suns (4th Edition) #ttrpg on @playrole.bsky.social. It's fun to re-submerge into an old friend universe, syphon up game rules, and present an experience that gives just a taste of this kitchen sink space opera. I hope to run this a few times.
