What a loss. There is a Rob-sized hole in our world now, a true lover of games and tireless conventioneer who I never saw without a smile on his face. He was so enthusiastic and generous. I’m glad for my conversations with him Stateside, and so sad for the family he adored. Vale, Rob, and thank you.

Here's Mark Morrison introducing #Pendragon to newcomers at our #PAXAUS booth with The Great Pendragon Joust! It takes about 5 minutes to play and is such a fun way to show off Pendragon's core concepts.

Such a lovely crew!

Chaosium @chaosium.bsky.social · 4d

Every year at #PAXAUS we host a community content creators meet-up: it was delightful to have so many creators—new, aspiring, and established—along today. Look out for their work in the Miskatonic Repository, Jonstown Compendium, and Companions of Arthur at @drivethrurpg.com!
