Lots of effort have gone into making these. Very proud of the work the team have done on them, and we have 6 more written which I just need to find time to get published! #DungeonsandDragons #DnD #AdventurersLeague #D&D #TTRPG

One of the main things that drives us to put on Tabletop Scotland is the ability to bring lots of people together to support charities. Raising over £14,000 is simply amazing. If you can donate, we'd greatly appreciate it - www.justgiving.com/page/tableto...

Tabletop Scotland@tabletopscot.bsky.social

We defeated Hellfire Henry by raising over £14,000 for Scottish Huntington's Association, the most we've ever raised for a charity thanks to your amazing support. The Scottish Huntington's Association team were amazing all three days, really engaging with the event and being visible and available.

10 Sept

It's kind of incredible that a team of volunteers make this happen. We apply a level of focus to it so that it's a professional event and that way when it's happening we're able to enjoy it. I probably said it was "easy" or "a piece of piss" on a few occasions over the weekend.

Tabletop Scotland@tabletopscot.bsky.social

Well that was simply amazing. We hope you've all recovered, suspect it'll take a few more days for us to recharge fully. Attendance wise here are the numbers: Friday and Saturday grew by 17%, Sunday grew by 15% Unique attendance (you're counted once) grew by 19%

10 Sept

It obviously wasn't easy, as there was a LOT of hard work by everyone of all t-shirt colours in my team and I in the run up to and during the convention. But it was "easy" during it due to that hard work, which meant everyone in my team was able to enjoy it. Which is kinda the point really.

Sometimes when you're trying to get your brain to focus on organising stuff for @tabletopscot.bsky.social or the day job or whatever, it decides that instead you need to convert thoughts, into ideas, and then into physical things.

Each of these will be available at the Vengers Decks stand [W-03] at Tabletop Scotland and all money raised from them will go to the @tabletopscot.bsky.social charity.

Ultimately these were 'just a bit of fun' but I now have thoughts for more of the vsM stuff and a sequel to Daring-Do. Consider yourself warned 😀 #TTRPG #TTRPGs #TTS2026

Daring-Do is a 20 page A5 zine for telling RPG stories inspired by the 1970s pulp science films of Doug McClure with a system designed by me.

In the Shadow of the Sphinx and The Icons of Kyon IV are pulp style encounters using the vsM system by Philip Reed. Tri-fold (or C-fold if you prefer) format.

At Summer Sessions to see The Cure. Oh look there's a tabletop gaming convention on in less than two weeks. Who knew? #TTS2026

Was a lot of fun creating this very rudimentary graphic for this year's convention. Kinda kicking myself that I hadn't thought of it before! Cheers for the inspiration @jdhoare.bsky.social

With just 54 days to Tabletop Scotland, and with sportsball being all the rage it seemed fitting to post this today given that in 1954 Scotland appeared at their first ever World Cup. 1/2

Are there any podcasts out there who'd be interested in having someone come on and talk about a certain board, card and roleplaying game convention that they organise? Having been on several, many times over the years, that are local ish to me I am curious what other podcasts would be interested.

Any other indie / micro publishers / designers looking to share a stand with @afour.games at Tabletop Scotland this year? Let them know!

Afour Games@afour.games

Any smaller/independent/solo games designers want to collab on buying a booth for #TTS2026 in September? I can't excuse the cost for my own games as a solo venture, but if anyone wants to club together maybe a few of us could together cut a wee slice of the space for our projects?

25 June

That's a lot of RPGs. As the person who had to process all of them and add them to the website, I can confirm it is a lot. Big thanks to all our GMs for helping us put together such a diverse schedule of games.

Tabletop Scotland@tabletopscot.bsky.social

~ 250 tables of RPGs with over 60 different systems being run at the convention! Plus lots of Board, Card, Miniature and Social events too. Read all about it - mailchi.mp/53b3add6f... [2/2] #TTS2026 #BoardGames #RPG #TTRPG 2/2

Last weekend I was at UK Games Expo. In part to oversee the D&D schedule (11% of the RPGs there) delivered by my @polyhedraluk.bsky.social team. Also to have chats and hugs with exhibitors and others as we look to add more content for our attendees at @tabletopscot.bsky.social in 2026 and beyond.

Tabletop Scotland@tabletopscot.bsky.social

Here's some of your Tabletop Scotland team down at UK Games Expo! We met so many lovely people over the weekend. A few days rest is in order! Now who is excited for Tabletop Scotland 2026? #TTS2026 #BoardGames #RPG #TTRPG

7 June

As has seemingly become tradition, I bought no games and I played no games. Something that confuses a lot of people I see at any convention! It really is a fantastic event and the team at UKGE put on something special for what was their 20th year. #TTS2026 #BoardGames #RPG #TTRPG
