Hi All,


My name’s Simon Burley. I write Table-Top Role-Playing Games.


The first game I published was Golden Heroes - the UK’s first Superhero TTRPG - was back in……


1982.


Since then I’ve self published a range of games. 


I’m also known for going to to more conventions than anyone else in the world. I got up to visiting 26 cons in the UK in 2019 - one per fortnight -  before the pandemic nailed me to the ground. How did I find so many? Well I also went to non-gaming cons to demonstrate TTRPGs to try and spread the word about this wonderful hobby.

I’ve come on Itch to explore this new outlet for my ideas. I don’t know yet how involved I might get in the community here.

Welcome Simon, great to have you! It's awesome to see someone who's been deep in the ttrpg process!

DEEP is the key word. I consider myself as being at the bottom of the the pool. I typed up my first game on a manual typewriter and paid for someone to type it on an electric typewriter! Games Workshop published that first game.

Apart from that, everything I’ve produced has been bashed out on a battered old laptop in my bedroom. I don’t use advanced publishing software or 3rd party editors/layout specialists etc. However, I think my books look OK.

And the GAMES themselves are good. 

I just spend more money going to conventions to “promote” them than comes in in profit.

Welcome, nice to see you here!
