Anyways.

The idea that Men are supposed to get more Conservative and colder as they age seems to have skipped me. As I've got to middle age I've felt my edges soften, I'm quicker to empathy and letting things go that I used to stew on for days as a younger man. Let yourself care.

i made a starter back of beautiful and unique manuscripts you can browse online! (with links) for anyone that wants a good way to spend an afternoon :) open.substack.com/pub/weirdmed...

Happy Birthday Dad, wherever you may roam.

Me GMing for the group where I'm the only dude.

Michelle took a risk that all creative people take when they put their work out there. She's made a great game, so glad to see it got funded.

‘hi, grandma? can u come pick me up from my rap battle? it's over. no, i lost. he saw u drop me off & did a pretty devastating rhyme about it’

Ran some Doomsong ( @caesar-ink.bsky.social ) and had a blast. The poor Guildmaster of Lethe certainly did not get the highest quality of reinforcements in @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social @antiquehorror.bsky.social and @mumblemegs.bsky.social, but what they lack in tact they make up for in gumption.

Hi I’m Per and I’m a Freelance illustrator actively looking for some work! If you need any illustration work or art directing done for your Games, Actual Plays or other projects, commercial or private, please get in contact with me! Before shifting in Crisis mode next month I adjusted my rates:

Celebrating Chinese New Year with some Hong Kong Cinema. Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock just kicking the feck out of people in 'Yes, Madam!'

Just one week left to back my solo game Lie To Him and get my GMless game March Winds, April Showers thrown in for free because I have an unhealthy relationship with work but love when people read and play my games 🦴🌧

Had to buy some 'slow feeder' bowls for my Cats because one is a dumb twat who can't control themselves and eats like a hog.

I don't know who keeps doing this but you have to stop I'm begging you

OH! And whilst I'm chatting away... I finally have a portfolio! antiquehorror.carrd.co

UK folks: if we care about what is happening in the US with ICE, we must take steps to push back against anti-immigrant and refugee policy by our own government. Fill out this consultation. It really doesn't take long. Amnesty have put together a super clear and helpful guide to follow.

Goodnight

There's a rumble of Motorcycles outside the Hotel. My Dad's Bike club, ready to take him on his last ride.

Make Art (1/4)

If this guy ends up being an ubiquitous parapolitical figure I’m gonna be so fucking annoyed. How many idiot boy kings could one civilization possibly need

Well, finished my second run-thru of Delta Green's seminal campaign, Impossible Landscapes. Learned a lot from last time, dialled up the personal aspect of the PCs story so it felt more like their 'own' version of the story. Had a wonderful time, very proud of my players and how it turned out.

Throw back to when someone tried to scam the small business Outdoor company I worked at previously. Finest Pringle-watch you can buy!

Games, as always, help lighten my mood.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Sorry, but with the increase in RAM pricing that's going to need to be requoted."

Woke up at 4.00am because a wave of grief hit me. I imagine at some point the memories of my Dad will bring me happiness, but the moment it's just an open wound that won't stitch.

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

1. Retail Worker (Shoes! gross) 2. Purchasing Manager (Small business selling Military Equipment/Camping stuff) 3. Hardware Support Tech (current) 4. Bartender (I make a good old fashioned) 5. H.R Manager (Same place as Purchasing)

Peak dungeon design

Excited to give DOOMSONG it's first run through as we begin the 'Lord have Mercy upon us' campaign with my group of gravediggin' misfits. @runlikecraig.bsky.social @mumblemegs.bsky.social @antiquehorror.bsky.social @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social Oh what sites they'll see. Oh what things they'll spew!

Writing the speech for my Dad's funeral.

Back to GMing tonight after some time away. Feels good to stretch my creative legs again.

I'm at the 'burst into tears in the shower whilst Johnny Cash played' stage of grief if you're wondering.

it's only because of your support that we can keep on working on free shit for the community throw some cash at your local indie dipshit itch.io/s/178717/tal...

More relevant than ever, and by popular demand: another LIMITED run of our Antifa miniatures shirt courtesy of SlowDeath Games. Available in red or black and several sizes. Only in the shop for a couple of weeks so nobody's waiting forever for these to arrive. Grab yours now, terrorists!

What an absolute gut punch start to 2026. Love you Dad.

Tonight's Japanuary film: Sympathy for the Underdog Rip roaring 1970s Yakuza crime movie with moody Jazz, great story and shedloads of cool. Main character who takes his shades off once in the whole film and a bloody finale that would make Peckinpah nod in respect.

Tonight's Japanuary Film: After the Storm A quiet film about the pressure we put on ourselves to live up to our dreams and destroy ourselves when we can't. A real treasure, one of my favourites so far. "I wonder why it is that men can't love the present"

"Want to go book shopping?" My wife asked, flirtingly.

If you use Discord, please take a minute to fill out their survey re: the potential addition of AI features. Companies, stop shoving these rubbish 'upgrades' down our throats! 👎🏻 discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Tonight's Japanuary film: The Grateful Brute (Elegant Beast) A family of hustlers, scammers and tricksters try and keep all their schemes afloat after their scumbag son bites off more than he can chew. Very good fun, just a great movie full of the worst kind of greedy jerka with a funky 60s vibe.

Tonight's Japanuary film: School in the Crosshairs A Teenage girl discovers she's got psychic powers and eventually has to battle another girl who has them, BUT EVIL and is using them to turn the high school into a fascist regime! Very fun, very weird. Very live action anime in style.

In March 2026, we'll be once again celebrating women and femmes in European TTRPGs! If you identify with any intersection of womanhood, and would like to tell a story, run a game, host a panel, interview or be interviewed, our application form is open now. Check it out! tally.so/r/ODQxG7

Tonight's Japanuary film: Sansho the Bailiff. Sad, poignant and with a beautiful message that resonates now as much as ever. A Man without mercy is no kind of man at all.

Being carried to a health check up like an Egyptian queen, but pouting anyway.

I say this often but it bears repeating: if you make your money from creating art then you NEED to find an art or craft where you just do it for fun and don't try to be perfect or make any money from it, and when anyone tells you to monetise it you say 'No', because otherwise your soul will die.

TTRPGs I ran in 2025: I don't remember.

Slogging through the end of Stranger Things for Marie's sake. It's absolutely a peak example of a show that got milked too long.
