Another excellently produced #ttrpg review from @itsquinns.bsky.social showcasing Mythic Bastionland, a streamlined myth-chasing ‘hexcrawl’ with sharp rules, no skills, and lots of character. And rules for warbands! Is it Pendragon uber-lite?

The Maya interactive tutorial is great. It's turned learning into a game, using the tools it provides as part of the software. An enjoyable way to learn, @autodeskedu.bsky.social.

I enjoyed watching the quick virtual production demo at Brisbane's Griffith University today. I also enjoyed their game design presentation. I'm feeling inspired to undertake Unreal Engine accreditation.
