Pull back the curtain and enter the Rookery.

Join Inside the Rookery for an insider’s view of TTRPGs and their creation. We stream weekly discussions with special guests from across the creative industries. We not only debate the ins and outs of our favourite games and fiction, but we also drill deep into the process of design and development, explaining our own creative processes and offering insights into why we build games and worlds the way we do. We also invite viewers to post live questions as we go, allowing you to lead our conversations in new, exciting directions.

Our current Inside the Rookery videos can be found here!

We host regular Masterclasses about topics as wide-ranging as RPG design, writing, cartography, and more. These are hosted by professionals from the industry with experience working on everything from smaller indie RPG games up to AAA video games. We also host a very irregular show called Beside the Rookery. These spontaneous live streams could cover any topic. Possibilities include previewing upcoming material, discussions with guests, reveals of supplements for Rookery Publications, or even just an informal chat about our gaming plans for the weekend!

Who are we?

The current Inside the Rookery crow... <ahem> crew are (drum roll!), Mark Gibbons, Andy Leask, Lindsay Law, James Wallis and Andy Law, five award-winning TTRPG and gaming professionals with over a century’s combined experience in the gaming industry.
