More mimics! Some new designs for UKGE! I can't decide which one is my favourite.

I love how unserious we are about candidates in this country like obviously Elmo and Count Binface aren’t going to win but I love that we have a system that allows them to run our new PM is making a victory seat next to a guy that goes by Nick the Incredible Flying Brick

OK first few results are in and I have to say, absolutely hate it babes. The number of votes reform have got is sickening.

So, Its another General Election here in the UK. and after 14 years of Conservative rule, People have realised, at last, that The Tories, Right wing, are only in it for themselves and their cronies mates. So bring on Hope over Hate.

This was a BEAUTIFUL moment though

UKGE, Stamp Quest and a map!

I'm heading to UKGE this weekend and as a member of TIN I'm excited to take part in Stamp Quest, their initiative for the con! Excited enough, in fact, that I may have made a map, and the amazing folks running Stamp Quest may have made it official…

If you're heading to UKGE, you can take part in Stamp Quest too! Grab a leaflet from the TIN/Leith Illustration/Hive Mind Games stall and get to stamping!

Submit Here For Policy Summary

I've made this blog so that people can inquire / search for policy commitments in party manifestos for the 2024 manifestos, though I won't be publishing a summary of everything all at once, people are welcome to make requests (eg. disability, healthcare, workers rights, transport, business).

Once I have done the summaries I will tag them appropriately for people to search for via tags.

My intent is to keep these as neutral as possible by showing exactly what is in the pdfs of the manifestos available online. I will attempt to be as inclusive as possible for what I can think of on specific issues.

My ask box is open for requests but I want to keep the blog committed to policy so whilst anonymous requests will get their requests fulfilled I will not be responding to them directly. I will otherwise respond to non-anons to let them know I've made a post.

The manifesto documents I'm using are the PDF versions linked from these places:

Conservative Party

Labour Party

Liberal Democrats

Green Party of England & Wales

Reform UK (available 17th June 2024)

SNP (not yet available)

Plaid Cymru

I'm struggling to find the manifestos for the Northern Irish parties, but if they do publish some I'll try to update here. (Clearly SF is N/A but the others don't seem to have any either)

Exhausted from UKGE

I did nothing yesterday and plan on not doing much today either. I had a great time at UK Games Expo this year, my 2nd year as a vendor and I feel it went really well.

I had some really nice moments as an artist and game designer, I think I made a few peoples days with some of the stuff I had available as well. Here are some pictures of my stand!

Day 2 of UKGE! I'm in hall 2, stand 378 on Moonstone Avenue. Come say hi if you're about!

[critlore]

UKGE was fantastic this year for many reasons. Ex Stasis Games did really well on our bigger pitch. My 3d sculpted/printed minis were incredibly well received. We sold out of multiple things, including our second most expensive item, and nearly sold out of several others.

I hung out not just with friends, but with peers in the UK TTRPG industry, and made new friends while I was at it! I didn't even cling to Chant all night long, just did my own thing.

I'm so fucking proud of us and what we've achieved in just 3 cons - and just two fucking years! And I'm so excited for what comes next.

TGC Designer Table @ UKGE

Mx-Mz Games is hosting a TGC Designer Table and bringing Hope of the Stranded to the UK Games Expo from May 31 to June 1 at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. Find them in Hall One at 1-275. Stop by the booth, say hello, and check out their game, Hope of the Stranded!

Here's a note from Marek at Mz-Mz games: Hope of the Stranded is a tiny sci-fi solo challenge. Gather fuel rods from a crumbling spaceship without being caught by the alien presence on board. A mini adventure in a mint tin. Try it at the show and get a free gift. (while supplies last)

We'll also have materials from The Game Crafter to show, and chat about using it to create our games.

Look for our logo at the show!
