Hello lovely interwebs denizens!
Right then, gather 'round, gather 'round! Our Pocketopia cross-collab partner – the utterly splendid Grimwood Games, bless their cotton socks – have been kind enough (read: fantastic!) to invite the mind behind our cards-based TTRPG system, Monsters & Myths, for a virtual chinwag, live no less. (Deep breaths. It'll be fine. Probably.)

So, if you fancy a bit of pre-campaign banter (and who doesn't?), join us tonight, February 18, 2025, at 8/9 PM EST/AST. Hit this link [Link to Stream], and then click the little bell icon – you know the one – to be notified when the digital curtain rises.

Oh, and did we mention fabulous prizes? Yes, indeed! There are shiny, desirable things up for grabs for both existing campaign backers and any fresh-faced sign-ups who join us live. Consider it a little reward for your excellent taste in TTRPGs (and your even more excellent taste in live streams). Think of it as… well, think of it as a virtual grab bag of awesome.

Tell all your friends and 2.5% of your opposition!
