Ever wondered what UK TIN does? We have a fantastic Discord with just shy of 200 members from across the UK gaming industry, regular meetups in London and Manchester, a monthly newsletter, and stalls at major UK conventions!
Our stall at Dragonmeet 2023 (pictured above) had a dazzling variety of zines, gaming accessories, art, and our very own artist-in-residence Mikhail providing bespoke sketches of people's characters. We also had stalls at UKGE and MCM Comic-Con in October.

Discover which characters from literature and legend Matt will play opposite the main cast – and his spin on them – in FAN FIC MISH MASH, a Merely Roleplayers live show at Dragonmeet 2023!
Since attending Dragonmeet last weekend, I've been slowly been reading my way through the various TTRPGs and supplements I picked up. I don't buy physical copies of things often, so it's fun to spend my gaming budget on some beautiful books and zines every now and again.
What's this? An off-schedule edition of the Foggy Outline newsletter? Because I got some exciting news after sending the November one, which will be out of date by the time I send the December one?
Dragonmeet 2023 is upon us (in London on Dec 2nd) and if you like tabletop games then please check out Stall 16 (Twelve Pins Press!! which is Laurie O'Connel (of Lichcraft fame), Yanahn (me!), Kayla of @ratwavegamehouse and Luke of Aether Corp Games.

I will be updating my instagram story with #DRAGONMEET2023 posts all day so for those who want a peek at my first con experience (including a 36 player game of DIE with Kieron Gillen) and tables upon tables of ttrpg goodies (I assume – this is my first con after all) hop on over to my instagram for the goods!
