Did you know that the head editor for the Forgotten Realms Wiki, the massive Wiki site with over 56 thousand pages, is Australian?

06. Highlights from Pixel Expo in Perth

Kate headed down to Pixel Expo in Perth to catch up with some TTRPG creators. She had the privilege of being on the podcast stage and interviewed two TTRPG makers - Troy from Hit Dragons and Alyssa from Sphinx Stationery. These two makers dive into what got them into creating accessories for TTRPGs, how they found their niche, accessibility, neurodiversity and more. Plus, Kate hits the convention floor and grabs several Vox Pops. Now, the audio for this episode is a little rough on the account of it being recorded live at a con, but we hope that it gives you a really great window into the vibe at Pixel Expo. In the news, we talk about a new one page RPG released by community member, Joie Yong, and an RPG game jam from another community member, Hugh Lashbrooke.

04. Behind the Scenes of PAX Aus: Insider Secrets with Kitty, Content Manager Extraordinaire

Peek behind the curtain of how PAX Aus is organised as we get the juicy deets from the PAX Aus Content Manager Kitty. A lot goes into organising a convention as big as PAX. And all of the programming that you see outside of the main expo hall is her domain - that means all of the panels, live plays, cosplays, free play, TTRPG etc., are all under her domain. We, Kate and Stevie, get the goss on what it takes to organise all this, Kitty’s experience with tabletop, and tips for pitching panels and shows to be featured at PAX Aus. In news, we give you more details about Tabletop things happening at PAX including the Queer TTRPG meetup, and remind you that Phenomenon Canberra is coming up soon too!
