On top of adding Argo-0 and UNDERISLES to our RPG titles by the end of the year, we’ll be publishing GAST with @hatchedgames.bsky.social and printing this beautiful colouring book of islands by @salvaterra.bsky.social entitled Artipelago.

This is exactly the news I’ve been hoping to hear about UKGE, kinda wish they’d announced it on their comms, but this just proves that change CAN happen if you shout loudly and proudly about something. 💛
UK Games Expo has banned generative AI art, text, and merchandise across all NEC exhibition halls, bringing the convention in line with broader British tabletop standards. Standholders face removal or bans if their products aren't made by humans. #UKGE
UK Games Expo bans generative AI art and text across all trade halls
UK Games Expo has introduced a mandatory policy prohibiting generative AI art and text across all NEC trade halls, requiring exhibitors to sell only human-made games.

So precious! The Hatchlings crochet prototypes are here. Each one will be cuddling a teal d20. If they prove popular at the SPARKS shop, we’ll commission handmade dice for each dragon!

Over the last 7 years @luseals.bsky.social has contributed some joyous characters to our TTRPGs. Next year we’ll be producing the Inspired Edition of INSPIRISLES and adding many more illustrations to the already vibrant pages of the original game. Thanks for your dizzying imagination, Lucille! 🫶🏽

Less than a week until we open at SPARKS Bristol and we've just added a range of greetings cards and sticker sets to our product range. From the new year, we're planning to add mugs, tote bags, and handmade dice, including @runefable.bsky.social's beautiful crystal d6 for Dragon Dowser.

One week till the Hatchlings in-person shop opens at SPARKS in the heart of Bristol. We’ve already reached out to a few creators for their indie zines and crafts, and will continue to while we settle in. We’re also arranging a couple of sponsorships with local businesses such as Chance & Counters.

What video game series have you played since childhood and will still invest in when a new title launches?
For me, it’s always been The Legend of Zelda, but I wish I’d discovered the Persona series earlier than my 40s 😅

It’s hard to imagine any human waking up and wondering, “how can I stamp out all truth and empathy from the world today?” But here we are in 2026 🤷‍♂️

Going to post daily writing progress with my overall mood and a snippet from BENEATH SILVER STITCHES. I hope this will provide motivation for myself and other aspiring authors.

BENEATH SILVER STITCHES, my debut low fantasy YA novel, is coming next year!

‘When a helicopter pilot crashes in the mountains, to save him, his teenage son must make a pact with a dark and desperate creature not of our world.’

Haven’t had that type of emotional reaction to media in years. I bought the gold box and cartridge of Ocarina of Time on its release in 1998 from Woolworths when that was still a thing. Seeing the remake today, with the obvious passion and resources dedicated to it, has left me a happy wreck!
