It’s that time of the year where our Con or Bust applications have massively outstripped our resources to support them. We have some great opportunities to send folks of colour to life changing opportunities. Help make that happen.

Fandom does contain multitudes. Today it has provided conversations about cozy fantasy, romantasy, maglev trains and finally a concert by a choir singing about Westeros, One Piece, Secret of Monkey Island and The Witcher.

NOVELS!!

Our games are all pretty varied - but 80 Days is good for world building, A Highland Song is good for exploration, and Expelled! is good for mysteries.

There are also Heaven’s Vault novels…
