Dragonmeet and Indie Games on the Hour

We will be at Dragonmeet this weekend – our first convention since the start of the great unmentionable. Dragonmeet is at the Novotel in Hammersmith on Saturday December 4th 2021.

We will be on the UK Indie RPG League stall, with a bunch of great designers from Biscuit Fund Games, Certain Death, The Rolistes, Sinister Beard Games and Wordplay Games.

We’ll be bringing all our usual big games with us – Lovecraftesque, Bite Marks, Last Fleet – but also a raft of our smaller zine-size and 2-page games that we have printed for the occasion. The map below shows where you can find us in the lower trade hall. Drop by and say hi!

We will also be at Indie Games on the Hour, Dragonmeet’s best gaming experience. Show up on the hour any time between 9 and 5 and we’ll set you up with a 2-hour game! No booking required. You can dip in and still have time to explore the rest of the convention, or binge-play back to back sessions of awesome indie games. We will be on the 2nd floor in room D3 (Fronsac). There’s a list of the games we’re offering is shown below (subject to Covid uncertainty of course).

December game: Biome

Biome was December’s patreon game. It has now been taken down but will appear very soon on our itch store.

Hey everyone

This month’s game is one I’m especially excited about. Biome is a game where you create your own world and ecosystem, filled with interesting creatures drawn from your imagination. As the game progresses you introduce events and other changes that will ripple through the ecosystem, leading to adaptations and in some cases extinctions.

It’s a great world-building tool: as well as creating plants and animals you create sapient species with settlements and culture and so forth (and which also adapt and change to events you create), so you’ll end up with a rich world with a sense of history and connectedness.

It’s also just very fun to play in its own right.

Biome draws a lot of design inspiration from Microscope, a game I also recommend, and which spurred me to make this one.

I hope you enjoy Biome – let me know if you play it (or indeed any of our other games), as I’d love to hear how you get on!

Cheers

Josh
