Hi, I'm V. I'm a graphic designer, editor, and writer who specializes in TTRPGs! DMs are also open if you want to talk about hiring me!

I had the honor of doing the layout for the Space 1999 TTRPG. I'm so thankful to @peregrinecorone who invited me to work on this and who has done an incredible job creating this book, and to the folks at @GerryAndersonTV for trusting me with such a beloved IP.
I'm sadly not going to make it to UKGE this year, ending my 6/7 year unbroken streak of attending! The logistics of going with the bub in tow just didn't work out this year, so I'll look forward to seeing all you cool folks at Dragonmeet or UKGE 2026!
I'm LIVE with a surprise midweek stream! Operation Potato Aim is BACK... AKA I'm playing R6 Siege for the first time in two years. Come chat and hang out!

For the first time in forever...
I'm 🔴LIVE over on twitch.tv/tabletophoard. Come and join me for a chill No Man's Sky stream and general catch up! Returning viewers and newcomers welcome! 😊

Currently deep in the parenthood trenches but since bub now goes to sleep a earlier, I get a couple hours where I get to unwind and play video games and I might bite the bullet, ignore the "revamp your twitch before trying to stream again" voice in my head and just stream...
That being said, I might stream later on tonight so keep an eye for the go live!
Also, I'm only on Twitter now to keep up with a handful of accounts and to be reachable for work bits. Follow me over on Bluesky (same name!) where I'll be posting more actively soon (hopefully).
Today InDesign has:
- Greyed out the option to save and save as
- Greyed out the option to Undo
- Disabled Adobe Fonts on its own
- Disabled fonts that I had litterally just enabled.
- Crashed while opening the .Idml file I created as a work around to its save issue.
Its like its built to break itself once every three months. At this point, a re-install of CC and its software is becoming too regular of an occurrence for my liking. Thank god I haven't had to pay full price for Adobe in the last couple years.
Update: As soon as I catch up with work after being unwell pregnancy difficulties this week I'm making this a thing. Might give me something to do while on maternity leave soon too. So if you want to see me more casually ramble/post about board games and rpgs keep an eye out?
Sometimes I think about making a little blog, or instagram, or tiktok (or something) that isn't 'professional' facing just so I can make fun, silly little posts and commentary about the board games and RPGs I like and why.

I finally picked up the Deathmatch Island TTRPG today after seeing it a while ago and being intrigued. Lets just say this is top of my list when I get back to running games. Also, I absolutely love the design/layout/art. Its so clean but also so evocative, just *chefs kiss*.
Begging retailers to stop using EVRi. They are impossible to talk to if there's an issue and have a track record of packages going missing or being left in unsecure locations.
Challenge to delivery companies 2024: Actually deliver the packages you're paid to deliver.
How trading standards aren't having a field day with EVRi I have no idea, because it seems that they don't actually provide the service the charge for 80% of the time, nor do they have a functional way of actually dealing with issues when they arise.

I suppose its been a while since I've done any kind of update here on twitter, and I probably should just to appease the algorithm. So, a quick little thread for any folks who are interested! [1/]
You'll likely see me talk about my work more once I have time to sit down and update my portfolio with all the cool new things I've been working on, and streaming once I have a little more free time, so I hope you folks will join me for that once again when the time comes! :)
But if you're wondering what I've been doing other than work and rearranging my flat to fit baby items, its mostly been Fallout 76, watching House of the Dragon, re-learning embroidery, collecting vintage costume jewellery, and having fun baking new things!
