Hi! It's Uncle Dunmore here, welcoming you to this saucy, unctuous update. It's half term here for me in the UK which for those of you who don't know is that time of the year when every Dad must take their small children to the cinema or the swimming pool with the slidey slides or as in my case, both. And everyone has fun...
I want to thank everyone who has supported the project so far. I've been bowled over by your support. So between popcorn and lashings of talcum powder, here's a thing I was tinkering with. The image below will be one of the 6 hexciting encounters in the zine.
Is that ok? Do you LIKE it? Please say you do...
So yeah, there's that. In other news, I've raided your comments for pub names and here's the shortlist: The McGuff Inn Bog Barrel Fairy in Boots Cavorting Cockatrice
I still need about 3 more so if you fancy having a fantasy tavern named after you (and who doesn't?), get in touch!
What's my favourite pub? Great question. So in my home city of Dublin, my favourite pub is Keogh's off Grafton st. In my adopted (and recently vacated city) of London, it was Bradley's Spanish Bar (off Tottenham Court Rd). I'm a simple man, I need darkness, good beer and a juke box.
What's your favourite bar? Let me know. Look after yourself, Uncle Dunmore.
Happy Friday! Hope this finds you well! It's been a hell of a week and I've spent most of the week clinging on to my sanity like Hans Gruber on the edge of a skyscraper. HOWEVER, if there's one thing bound to cheer me up, it's the weekend and the superficial appreciation of my TTRPG community. Seriously though, we at GGP published our first few campaigns with the big K and I've got to say, the people here are just so nice. If you've ever thought about writing up and publishing that TTRPG thingy you've been messing around with, do it here. Even if it's just to get access to the Discord and buzz of the likes and emoji based approval of your TTRPG community.
Enough blather, check out the amazing content below. You won't regret hanging on (unlike Hans). And as ever, thanks for the support, Take care, Uncle Dunmore

Hi all, Just a quick thank you to everyone who backed on Day 1! Full of gratitude this morning! If you fancy a quick pint, drop into the discussion linked for the chance to name a pub on the point crawl adventure that will be in the zine:
Our first achievement (stretch goal?) is coming up and is for community copies of the zine to be shared. Really keen to hit this one cause I'm sure I don't need to tell you how important community is to this hobby we all share.
Speaking of community, don't forget to go see the doctor over at the Book of Plagues. That's our cross-collab partner. Back us both and get some sweet hex and body based discounts! Best value in Zinetopia is the bold, unverified claim I'm making!
That's all for now, Go raibh míle maith agat, Uncle Dunmore
