One of the main things that drives us to put on
Tabletop Scotland is the ability to bring lots of people together to support charities.
Raising over £14,000 is simply amazing.
If you can donate, we'd greatly appreciate it - www.justgiving.com/page/tableto...

We defeated Hellfire Henry by raising over £14,000 for Scottish Huntington's Association, the most we've ever raised for a charity thanks to your amazing support.
The Scottish Huntington's Association team were amazing all three days, really engaging with the event and being visible and available.

It's kind of incredible that a team of volunteers make this happen.
We apply a level of focus to it so that it's a professional event and that way when it's happening we're able to enjoy it.
I probably said it was "easy" or "a piece of piss" on a few occasions over the weekend.

Well that was simply amazing. We hope you've all recovered, suspect it'll take a few more days for us to recharge fully.
Attendance wise here are the numbers:
Friday and Saturday grew by 17%, Sunday grew by 15%
Unique attendance (you're counted once) grew by 19%

Sometimes when you're trying to get your brain to focus on organising stuff for @tabletopscot.bsky.social or the day job or whatever, it decides that instead you need to convert thoughts, into ideas, and then into physical things.

Was a lot of fun creating this very rudimentary graphic for this year's convention. Kinda kicking myself that I hadn't thought of it before!

With just 54 days to Tabletop Scotland, and with sportsball being all the rage it seemed fitting to post this today given that in 1954 Scotland appeared at their first ever World Cup.

Are there any podcasts out there who'd be interested in having someone come on and talk about a certain board, card and roleplaying game convention that they organise?
Having been on several, many times over the years, that are local ish to me I am curious what other podcasts would be interested.

Any other indie / micro publishers / designers looking to share a stand with @afour.games at Tabletop Scotland this year? Let them know!
Any smaller/independent/solo games designers want to collab on buying a booth for #TTS2026 in September?
I can't excuse the cost for my own games as a solo venture, but if anyone wants to club together maybe a few of us could together cut a wee slice of the space for our projects?

That's a lot of RPGs.
As the person who had to process all of them and add them to the website, I can confirm it is a lot.
Big thanks to all our GMs for helping us put together such a diverse schedule of games.

Last weekend I was at UK Games Expo.
In part to oversee the D&D schedule (11% of the RPGs there) delivered by my @polyhedraluk.bsky.social team.
Also to have chats and hugs with exhibitors and others as we look to add more content for our attendees at @tabletopscot.bsky.social in 2026 and beyond.
