Hero's Rise

A companion tool for cross-system GMs

Overview

Hero's Rise is a digital companion tool and cross-system rules engine currently in development for  (TTRPG) Game Masters. Designed to solve the mechanical issues of running campaigns that borrow from multiple game systems simultaneously, the tool acts as an automated translator and calculator for tabletop mechanics. Instead of Game Masters spending weeks manually rewriting rules to make different games compatible, Hero's Rise automatically translates elements like feats, spells, status conditions, and action economies between systems such as
Pathfinder https://groupfinder.gg/library/pathfinder-2nd-edition-2019
and
D&D https://groupfinder.gg/library/dungeons-dragons-55e-2024
. The tool ensures that hybrid games remain balanced without stalling gameplay. Hero's Rise is in pre-production and managed by a small team, with an early access launch targeted for late 2026 or early 2027.

ICVTT

Virtual tabletop (VTT)
English
Free
ICVTT (Index Card Virtual Tabletop) is a free, browser-based virtual tabletop built around radical simplicity: no settings menus, no macros, no built-in chat, and no tutorials - just a map, tokens, and dice. It began life as Runehammer VTT, built by Runehammer Games to run their own Index Card RPG (ICRPG) and WAR|MAKER, before being reworked into a community-maintained project in 2022 and renamed ICVTT.  Though it was purpose-built with ICRPG in mind, it works with virtually any tabletop system since it doesn't impose rules or character sheets on anything.

AireCon
Tabletop events

AireCon

Europe
AireCon is a friendly and inclusive analog gaming festival in Harrogate Convention Centre. Whether you've come alone or with a massive group you'll find plenty of fun to be had and new friendly faces to meet. On top of that, we've partnered with Travelling Man to bring you a huge library of over 500 games that you can borrow from for free throughout the event. Have a nosy at the FAQ section to answer all your burning questions and if you've got a question we haven't yet answered, drop us a line at hello@airecon.uk! History AireCon started when Mrs C was away on a friend’s hen weekend. Mark decided that he’d have a few friends around to play some games and partake in some other gaming activities. With three tables set up, a schedule of events drawn up and even a sponsor, AireCon (now known as AireCon 0) was born in Mark’s flat. The name came about from looking at how other conventions got their name. Seeing that GenCon was named after Lake Geneva, Mark looked around for bodies of water nearby, and was immediately drawn to the River Aire, hence AireCon, and that squiggle that runs through the logo? That’s the river! Around this time, having returned from a brilliant time playing games at UK Games Expo, Mark looked around for other gaming events. Finding none he spoke to Ben about starting AireCon as a proper, public event and Ben had been thinking along similar lines. The first public AireCon (AireCon 1) was held at the place where Ben and Mark work in Bradford in April 2016, quickly followed by AireCon 2 in October 2016 but the constraints of the venue were already starting to show. Nabil and Rick were brought on board at this point to take the event to the next level. The growth necessitated a move to larger premises and, after an extensive search across Yorkshire, we settled on the Harrogate Convention Centre for AireCon 3 in March 2017. We also changed to running AireCon annually to allow more time to make sure it was an excellent event. AireCon 4, in March 2018, AireCon 5, March 2019 and AireCon 6, March 2020, have continued to see the event grow with more and more space being taken at the convention centre, mostly to allow for huge amounts of open gaming space, probably the largest in Europe! Due to the pandemic in 2021, AireCan’t took place instead of AireCon, where people were encouraged to Play at Home. The AireCon team have always enjoyed bringing people together and seeing the joy that tabletop gaming can bring, and this remains the same today as it did back in Mark’s flat. The emphasis at AireCon is on fun and providing opportunities for people to be able to game and it will always remain that way.

Daggerheart
Actual Play
Tales by Daggerlight is a Daggerheart actual play podcast about identity, legacy, and what rises from the ashes of a failing kingdom. We lean into character-driven drama, Hope vs Fear tension, and a soundscape built to feel like a cinematic home game. Our table is made up of seven long-time GMs and players who rotate between the spotlight and the storyteller’s chair. We keep the spontaneity and mess of a real home game, then layer in careful edits, music, and sound design to heighten key moments. If you enjoy political intrigue, found-family dynamics, and fantasy worlds where every choice has teeth, you’ll feel at home at the Blade’s Edge.
