Cary, in his own two words, “encapsulates multitudes.” He is a passionate gamer that loves to make people laugh, cringe, or think.

Yellow text reads "Hex Heist Player (Every Friday)."

Cary is an incredible performer, engaging streamer, passionate activist, and all around excellent person. You can find him in plenty of content, including tonight and next week on Hex Heist! Drop him a follow and put him in all the things!

Worried about learning a new system? Absolutely no problem, some folks from our very own community, @howdylovedarlin.bsky.social and @spunkytaylor.bsky.social have put together 2 video guides to talk you through the player and GM side of things - you can find those videos on the Kickstarter page!

A Mappa Mundi promotional image. The background is an illustrated landscape framed by hills, mountains, and trees of all kinds under a partially-cloudy sky. At the top is parchment-coloured text that reads 'Mappa Mundi' in an all-caps font with rough edges and a golden compass with floral embellishments between the two words. A small blurb on the left reads 'Don't miss your chance to back Mappa Mundi on Kickstarter! Scan the QR code or follow the bit.ly link to join the first wave of support for this incredible new combat-free exploration and ecology TTRPG.' To the right of that is a QR code that leads to the URL: https://bit.ly/4ghAnVH. At the bottom is a glowing representation of a Mappa Mundi boxset, a hardcover book, a fanned-out set of tarot-sized cards illustrated with different landscapes, and three mock-ups of Mappa Mundi book covers on iPads. There are two large emphasis stickers on each side at the bottom, one in bright green reading '£50k funded!' and the other in bright red reading '1250+ backers!'

Ever want to explore a fractured world to study & document monsters instead of hunt them? The new COMBAT-FREE exploration & ecology TTRPG, Mappa Mundi, by @threesailsstudios.bsky.social is still kickstarting!
