Philip K. Dick took 40 amphetamine pills a day and they named a writing award after him

I know it's all been me-me-me Sanction day today, but... do you know that The Dee Sanction has just ONE written review on @drivethrurpg.com—from 2022. If you enjoyed playing or running the game and have the PDF, consider Rating or, better yet, Reviewing: legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/3444...

At Dragonmeet I'll be running T&T at the Rebellion booth in the morning and hanging out for a bit. I'll also be on the T&T seminar at 12.30 with @loottheroom.bsky.social Afterwards catch me around the floor. I'll pay a visit to the Osprey booth if you want a signed book.

In less than two weeks, I'll be at Dragonmeet, at ExCel, tired and confused at the @allrolledup.bsky.social stand. We'll have the usual array of accessories, dice, games of all kinds, and a bunch of stuff with my name in it. Please come by and say "Hello" with a 50-50 chance I won't recognise you.

An emergent mystery play through of @armadajosh.bsky.social & @beckyannison.bsky.social Ex Tenebris at Dice in a Dead City, Alex our GM did a grand job of guiding us through our investigation of an offworld mining accident. Loved playing The Relic; eons old barely human cyborg with dark memories.

Thanks @fabiovol.bsky.social @alistairsmith.bsky.social , GM Alex and all folk at the most excellent Dice in a Dead City. @jonmarkhicks.bsky.social you'll be pleased to hear the Ana-Sin-Emid was saved with only minimal* trauma and injury to it's rescuers! *Minimal as per company assessment.

Would love to do more of these, we have a Gothic writing competition coming up and possibly a Sanction one?!

I'm enthralled by the great quality of the adventures that have sprung forth from The Raspy Raven organised competition. Third Party Community Content Creation embraces all of Sanction, and I'm loving what's coming out of it. www.sanctionrpg.com www.thedeesanction.com/the-dee-sanc...

New suprise drop! We've released a new starter scenario for Liminal Horror. This free to download adventure includes pregens and is entangled with multiple other LH modules. It has everything you need to get started! Enjoy! goblinarchives.itch.io/stopover-at-...

I love this! Such a fun adventure to write and I always love hearing about people's experiences playing stuff. <3 Kaw-kaw.

@paulbaldowski.bsky.social led us through Something Winged This Way Comes from @shannagermain.bsky.social for his KS The Dee Sanction Monad edition. A wonderful evening of sleep scented dreamscapes amongst the Corvus Corax of ye olde Tower of Londinium. Never leave home without a Book of Heraldry.

I entered #raspyraven contest to write a minimalistic 3-page adventure for Dee Sanction judged by game creator @paulbaldowski.bsky.social! I didn't win the whole enchilada, but I was featured during the event as a winner. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... paroxysm-by-design.itch.io/only-a-fool

Fresh meat was as precious as gold bullion back in the 70s. According, that is, to Letraset's dizzyingly exciting THE SWEENEY Super Action Transfers, which allowed kids to create violent scenes based on the classic post-watershed cop show. This meat blag is *carnage*, guv!

Thrilled my competition scenario, Where the Roads Unravel, was accepted by Paul for The Dee Sanction Monad Edition. A labour of love, set in Tudor Leicester & its surrounds, somewhere I enjoyed endless happy summers. Not entirely sure, then, why I ended up creating such a morbid & deadly adventure!

It feels like an age since twenty hardy souls helped raise the first funds toward the original softcover of The Dee Sanction. Now, as I edit a new adventure, one of those folk who chose a feather trader by the name of Rupert Dalton has found a home in the Ossulstone Hundred. #DeeSanction #TTRPG

There are few things more bothersome than writing/checking an update—knowing that the moment you post it, the content goes out in an email—and missing a letter in the title. Not quite as bad as getting the date wrong on the cover of the first print edition. www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

Do you need a happy bird? I think you do.

Gratitude post! Today I am extremely grateful for Tanya Floaker’s amazing work on Mapmaker’s Guide for a|state, alongside their amazing perseverance with my entirely unreasonable demand that we’re not talking about it until it’s written.

I've really enjoyed adding my own twists onto @malcolmcraig.bsky.social's setting and @fromthemorgue.bsky.social's mechanics. Cheers to Jon and the team for having me on board to do so. There's so much I want to say about hope & struggle in cities, and will do as soon as the project is done!

@ospreygames.bsky.social season on The Raspy Raven Discord in July (link in bio) but I already have a scenario idea for Hard City. Motor City Requiem: Detroit in the 1970s, murder, shakedowns & life in the fast lane. An ode to James Ellory. Handily found a hardback of the rules on the Bay of E.

Howdy folks! I return from abroad with some good/complicated news: After 3 years, our stock of Vast in the Dark Expanded is finally nearing the end. We want to thank everyone who bought a copy, mention what we have planned for the next printing, and also get some feedback.

I had a lovely time discussing scenario writing, tools, methods and resources with these lovely people.
