What if Tesla was actually a time travelling dinosaur?

Nah, I took that too far.

We have an immediate need for an RPG proofreader. This is a paid gig, proofing just over 11,000 words. Experience is preferred.

Please email jon@handiwork.games with your resume and rate. If you don't have a set rate that's fine - we can talk.

Please feel free to share, tag and recommend.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness (if you feel like)

Yep, we embed it into the programme for the convention each year.

I maintain a list of game stores in Scotland for @tabletopscot.bsky.social
The vast majority of them stock RPGs to some extent. Link goes to an Excel file.

To be a better human, be a gamer? - The Giant Brain My wife Catherine Dolliver gives us a beautiful piece on how we support/fail our friends and her experience at Tabletop Scotland

Making her debut on the site my wife Catherine Dolliver writes about how we support/fail our friends and what she learnt at @tabletopscot.bsky.social

Well damn, this sure fills the heart with love and glorious joy. Give Cath my thanks for sharing it.

No problem. I'm heading to Gaelcon for the first time this year, given they've been going for 37 years I know there will be things I can learn for Tabletop Scotland. Plus a weekend of games and socialising over whisky / whiskey is always a worthwhile endeavour!

Have you considered @gaelcon.bsky.social ?

We like giving exact information, partly for transparency reasons but also because it feels like the right thing to do.

Image shows that Tabletop Scotland 2025 raised £10,757 for Waverley Care.

Thanks to you we have raised £10,757 (and 50p) for Waverley Care, this is the most we've ever raised for a charity and we thank you for your amazing support.

High praise indeed. We've worked hard to make the play experience at the convention as good as it can be in the spaces we have. Steve and Kerry run the RPG area @sironside.bsky.social and always do me proud.

Thanks for doing the write-up, Simon, and it was great to bump into you for a brief time in the main hall.

Yes @xtamsynx.bsky.social there is prosecco.

You can absolutely 100% use your own lanyard.

We are. You'll get your physical ticket at the gate then once through that pick up your lanyard and sleeve.

Just ask at the Front Desk for me and they'll hunt me down.
Or if you spot someone in a Yellow Tabletop Scotland tshirt with Dave on the back, it will be me.

After Tabletop Scotland we should be in a better place to give you more news about this over on @polyhedraluk.bsky.social

Tabletop Scotland now officially shapes a piece of D&D's Forgotten Realms Find out how the Scottish convention Tabletop Scotland became a D&D Adventurers League Premier Organiser, giving it exclusive control of the Forgotten Realms region of Murghôm.

Scottish convention takes control of a D&D kingdom

Will be good to catch up on your Gen Con experience this year and potential visits in the future.

Have to admit, I'm more proud of this image than I should be.

If crazy image ideas like that don't encourage you to come to @tabletopscot.bsky.social then I'm not sure what will!

I haven't actually. Have been tempted to pick up the starter set, maybe that's what I'll do.

As we approach @tabletopscot.bsky.social (less than two weeks to go), and I start to think about having actual free time again, what #RPGs should I be a looking to buy and run that I likely have missed whilst being in a planning mode bubble for the last erm six months?
