Where to find me at Dragonmeet 2022

(Sat 3 Dec, Novotel Hammersmith, London)

10am, Beaujolais, Mezzanine:

Jason Statham's Big Vacation

(Live play organised by The D20 Future Show, as part of the Podcast Zone. I'll be playing one of Jason Statham's entourage, trying to make sure he has a nice holiday and protecting him from the Wesley Sniper. Game designed by Grant Howitt)

4pm, second floor:

Indie Games on the Hour

(No need to book, just turn up a bit before 4 and I'll pitch some games for you to pick from. Likely some combination of galactic 2e by riley rethal, Mission: Accomplished! by Jeff Stormer, Our Haunt by Rae Nedjadi, or Lichcraft by Laurie O'Connell)

For the rest of the day I'll be pootling about, checking in with people I know, going tk seminars, and buying things I don't need in the trade hall...

Play artifacts from a game of Grant Howitt's Fucked Up Little Man, including a large map scribbled in pencil in several different styles on crumpled brown paper, and a smaller scrap with a drawing of a knight (again a mash of several different sketch styles) with a closed helmet, huge pauldrons and a sweeping cloak

I got to play Grant Howitt's Fucked Up Little Man at the last Indiemeet / London Indie RPG Meetup! I have never played a darksouls so every choice I made in this game was influenced by cultural osmosis. My fucked up little guy was a tooth enthusiast with a wet cough who knew a lot of gross and dangerous shortcuts. And I took the record for fastest death of The Damned One – I tried diving straight back into the acid pit we crawled out of post-resurrection and rolled a 1, perishing immediately

And I was pretty proud of the map area I drew, a broken staircase guarded by a phalanx of soldier mummies! Drawing is not a skill I've put a lot of points into, but maps are stylised and so is Dark Souls, and that helped, and I feel like I found creative ways round my own constraints

Meet Jason's Agent Grayson Bacon

At Dragonmeet 2022, I was in The D20 Future Show's live game of Jason Statham's Big Vacation, playing Jason's agent!

The audio from that game is now up, just in time for the Merely Roleplayers live show at Dragonmeet 2023.

Enjoy snorkelling, crab petting, Jedi training and several attempts to marry Jason Statham, all on the picturesque Isle of Fernando. 🏖

The opposite of a mansion murder mystery where everyone present is a bounty hunter who really wants to take credit for the murder and the detective has to find out who really did it
