Go Play Brisbane is all wrapped up for another year!
Thanks @perilplanet.bsky.social @tinstargames.bsky.social for making the trek up north from NSW. We loved having you.
We've had a great time with an estimated 200 people playing #ttrpg and board games with us over the course of the weekend.

Shout-out to Nathan Russell and Peril Planet games! I recently found a CRIMINALLY underated scifi game of his called Star Scoundrels and then that led me to Neon City Overdrive and then to Tomorrow City.
More of his games will be on my channel 100%! Feeling so inspired!

This is one of the most beautiful character sheets I have seen in a while. Tomorrow City by @perilplanet.bsky.social I am just sad I won't be able to replicate this piece for online play. Looking forward to digging in.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I am working on more games now. There is one I will self publish (under Peril Planet) and have another game in the works for Osprey Games.

100% We have the printing facilities in Australia. When I buy Print in Demand products they ship from Melbourne, but my own trad published books don't arrive in Australia until months after release.
