Back from a fun weekend of SF #ttrpg games at #NorthStarCon in Sheffield. I ran #TravellerRPG twice, and played #fadingsuns, #ElectricState and #2d20 John Carter of Mars. Proper write up later in the week as I’m ready for a good nap to recover!

Hat tips to @eladrin, @TheTweedmeister, @satsuma, @satbunny, @SavageSpiel, @PaulBaldowski and @ottomancer who I had the chance to say hello to! I’m sure there are others and my apologies if I missed you out!

The layout (and writing) for the forthcoming #BluePlanet #Recontact #ttrpg is gorgeous. Having run it several times at conventions, I’m looking forward to this being released properly. Also pondering whether to do a third instalment of the convention game series I’ve being running at #NorthStarCon next year.

Two page spread “Archipelagos: Zion Islands” from the finalised layout for Blue Planet: Recontact shared to kickstarter backers. Lots of white space, lush blues in the trade dress around the page edge. Text in two columns per page, left hand page has a hex map in lower left, right hand page has ‘access denied’ box test for top two-thirds of the page.

@FortiterGames I bounced off STA until the Tricorder version, ran Dune but was winging it a bit, but enjoyed running STA at #NorthStarCon. Reading Achtung! Cthulhu at the moment and it’s the clearest statement of the rules that I’ve seen. I’m starting to get it but - a bit like Blades in the Dark - it’s taken some time to grok.

When preparing for #northstarcon, I created a crib sheet for the #2d20 Star Trek Adventures #ttrpg because that’s one of the ways I best learn a system.

Here’s a link to the sheet - feel free to make any comments or builds if you feel that I’ve missed something or got it wrong.

#NorthStarCon 2023 was such a blast! SF #ttrpg face to face play. So many great games and welcoming atmosphere. Felt so happy, excited, yet at peace.

@satsuma The nearest thing is #Travcon, but that’s much more focused (but hopefully emerging from COVID induced dormancy next year).

When @eladrin and I first kicked around the idea that became #northstarcon, we started with ‘what if we did a Travcon North’? (The first UK Travcon was near Halifax in Hebden Bridge). However, we felt that a broader #SF #ttrpg approach was a better thing to do.
