-
We’re a multidisciplinary video game, table top role playing game and audio studio based in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia.
-
To ignite the imagination through captivating and beautiful tabletop games, video games, media and literature, blending the excitement of sword and sorcery with the intrigue of cyberpunk & mythpunk and the comfort of cozy fantasy. We create memorable mechanics, characters, and worlds that inspire play, foster intellectual curiosity, and combat apathy through a fusion of pugilistic fun and cerebral exploration.

Embrace Beauty: Beauty is a powerful force to inspire, heal, and connect us. We are committed to seeking out and showcasing beauty in all its forms, from the sublime to the everyday.
Fight Apathy: Create content that challenges complacency, sparks curiosity, and encourages others to engage with the world.
Celebrate Conflict: Conflict is an inevitable part of life, and can be a catalyst for growth. We aim to explore conflict’s complexity, how to face disagreement without hatred, seeking to understand its roots and potential for repair, without ‘picking fights’.
Foster Community: To create a sense of community among our creatives, readers, and wider audience. Fostering a spirit of cooperation and mutual support.
Embrace Courage & Excellence: We aim to embody and foster courage and the push toward improvement and excellence in others.

We’re gearing up for a Summer 2025 launch, with balloons and cake and ttrpg mini-games. Prepare for the rise of Sir Hildegarde Von Ratamir before the leaves turn red.

We hope you’re entertained. That you can relax and forget the complex troubles of the world for a while, and dive into stories that stick to your ribs.

Blade and Banter Media slices into the gaming scene with an ample mix of Sword and Sorcery, Cyberpunk, Mythpunk and Cozy Fantasy. Everything we do might have an edge, but sometimes it’s the strength of the coffee. Think post-rock meets Aesop’s Fables. Conan the Barbarian tag teaming with Ares Olympia, while the Mama Machine tuts her electric tongue and readies the bandages.

By using our website, you agree to these terms. If you’re not ready to play by the rules (or just need a snack break), now’s the time to step away. Otherwise, onward!
-
You must be old enough to wield a controller or pen, roll a d20, or sign your name—that is, at least 18 years old, or whatever the legal age is in your kingdom.
If you’re not, grab a parent or guardian as your co-adventurer.
-
Physical Treasures: Books, booklets, and other goodies ship from our lair to yours. Prices are in Canadian $ (CAD). Currently we don’t take returns, but will refund only due to manufacturer’s defect. All we need is a picture of the defect, and the order number within 14 days of receipt.
Digital Scrolls: Downloadable games, stories, and guides—once you’ve paid, they’re yours, but only for personal use. No sharing, copying, or selling them to rival adventurers.
Blog.Log: Our chronicles, musings, and lore are yours to read and enjoy.
The Newsletter: Sign up for tales from the frontlines, exclusive offers, and the occasional bardic ballad.
-
Be Kind: No trolls, no dragons, and definitely no harassment.
No Spam: Save your spells and scrolls for the right channels.

-
Everything you see here—stories, games, art, and more—belongs to Blade and Banter Media or our trusted allies. You’re welcome to enjoy them, but not to claim them as your own or use them for profit without our blessing.
If you post your own tales or comments, you grant us a license to use them on our site (but we’ll always give you credit).

If you sign up for our newsletter, you can unsubscribe anytime (no hard feelings).

We do our best to keep the site safe and the stories spellbinding, but we can’t guarantee everything will be perfect. We’re not responsible for lost scrolls, mischievous gremlins in the code, or any damages that might happen along the way.

We believe in the power of human creativity, sweat, and the occasional ink-stained quill. Every story, game, artwork, melody, and word you find on our site or in our products is forged by human hands—not conjured by mysterious digital sorcery.
No AI-generated content, art, music, or tales will ever slip into our worlds.
We swear it on our honour as knights of the creative order. Our creatives are real people, each with their own quirks, passions, and late-night inspirations.But what about the humble AI?
We do keep a trusty, privately trained AI assistant in the back office—think of it as a helpful goblin sweeping the floors, sorting the scrolls, and reminding us when the coffee’s ready. This digital sidekick handles only the most menial tasks, like organizing files, spellchecking or scheduling the odd newsletter. It never touches our creative work.So rest easy, brave adventurer.
Your journey through Blade and Banter is guided by human hearts, minds, and hands. We’re here to craft stories and games the old-fashioned way—with passion, grit, and a little bit of magic (the kind that comes from hard work, not algorithms). -
