The Red Room’s Work Recognized at Rolisboa 2022

Tomorrow The Red Room will be celebrating its first six months of existence as a publisher. It has been one hell of a (short) ride, with plenty of published work. Yesterday we were at the Lisbon gaming convention Rolisboa 2022 to receive this year’s Hartvig Award, which recognizes the work of Portuguese tabletop gaming creators (for which Miguel Ribeiro was nominated last year, at the time as a freelance author publishing through James Desborough’s Postmortem Studios).
Here’s a video (in Portuguese); we show at about 06:40:00
