Hooray! I've just read the beginning of Cosmic Dark and I love the in game method of character creation. I might give this a try at MK-RPG.

A successful run through of Call of Cthulhu's The Bleeding Stone of Iphtah last night, all good prep for #grogmeet. Much kudos to one of the players for doing the unthinkable PvP (with up front consent from the other players), it made it a memorable and horrific end.

the final crew of scruffy space folks, continued: #digitalart #scifi #rpg 🙂

Cthulhu Dark was made for people to publish their own stuff, so it's great to see this. If you'd like to publish something using Cthulhu Dark, drop me a line.

Travelling up to #Grogmeet on Friday, snow's one thing, but I hope there aren't any balrogs.

New year, new TTRPG designer interview! Come and meet @annablackwell.bsky.social and see what Anna is working on! planesailinggames.com/interviews/2...

STREET OF CROCODILES (1986): Startling, terrifying stop-motion animation by the Brothers Quay, loosely based upon the short story by Polish writer Bruno Schultz. Channel 4 aired it in one of their animation strands and it blew my mind.

Sesh 5 of @effektpodcast.org Tales of the Old West, The King of Santa Fe. In between the campaign adventures I make stuff up as the group travel between Steaming Rock & Silver City, a 100 miles, 10 days across harsh wilderness. Feat. Boots, "the worst horse" buttondown.com/theraspyrave... #TTRPG

The rush of completing contracts by year end (it's a work thing), is over, so I managed to claw back some days and take an afternoon off. Just before con trip to frozen Manchester and various work events in Jan. Feels like a deep breath before a bungee jump.

Thoughts Warhorn afficionados? @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social @alistairsmith.bsky.social @bonhomiegames.bsky.social @elevatedpachyderm.bsky.social @davepaters.bsky.social

#TTRPGTHOUGHTS 1 To WarHorn or not to WarHorn? One of the reasons I blog about conventions is because they’re so different - in the UK at least. Some you sign up to games in advance, some you sign up at the event. Some have a mixed economy. I’ve always been a fan of signing up at the event. 1

A frosty old walk in the park, dog has now found a squeaky ball and I can hear the toy's death throes echoing through the house. I had a bunch of reading, writing tasks but I am on taking down Christmas tree duty, a pre-cursor to a family dinner, so had better crack on with it.

Just posting this again as it cane ip, and because @tristanarbro.bsky.social deserves full praise for running it!

A summary and some thoughts on my 2025 #TTRPG games. buttondown.com/theraspyrave...

Happy New Year! Which is apparently the kick up the arse I needed to update my website with a new page. Rather than have to keep remembering all the different places I've recorded RPG content, I've compiled most of it into one page. savagespiel.blogspot.com/p/podcasts-a...

Between sessions of Cyberpunk 2077 (which I'm quite addicted to) I finally managed to complete my 2025 review. Now back to some cyberpunking action! open.substack.com/pub/oldscous...

Cockroach Poker was the game du jour of New Year's. A project manager, a couple of teachers, a professor, a care support worker and an electrician all brought their best bluffing game to the table. Does it say anything about our society (or the game) that the most educated lost each time?

My Favorite Books of 2025 I managed to read 74 books in 2025. Most were pretty good, some were great. Here's a thread about my 10 favorites, in no particular order.

You can grab hardcover copies of Sanction and softcovers of the present Dee Sanction in the massive sale at @allrolledup.bsky.social Sanction is a toolbox upon which Dee Sanction and other genres are built. And you can make your own or grab one... www.allrolledup.co.uk/product-tag/...

Yellow King Paris story hook: the 1895 art students celebrate a year vanquishing the forces of Carcosa — until the stroke of midnight, when they discover that they have entered the 13th month, the month of Hali

OK, this will likely take a bit of a ramble, but here is the story of why I *didn't* become a published game designer... 🧵

Likely doing the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path this spring, but have my eye on some walking in Ireland. The Kerry Way looks a beaut and this YouTuber always puts together high quality, entertaining videos youtu.be/ZAc4GDA9pZk?...

I have the #BRP lite characters sorted for my Sky Rig game at #Grogmeet Lanyard and tabletop/standee versions, which features picture on one side and Hit Points/Fatigue on the other. #BRUGE #TTRPG

Pretty much have our July 2026 season of @ospreygames.bsky.social on The Raspy Raven nailed down. Handy that The Hooded Man come out just a few weeks back & I'm having a blast coming up with James Ellroy influenced scenarios for Hard City. GMs inc @jonmarkhicks.bsky.social @voxparlour.bsky.social

Today's charity shop haul

One of the indie bands of my youth, I may have to pay them a visit. But I feel it's only right and proper to spin some of their tunes at excessive volume this morning.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

#ChristmasBooks No. 1 - The Complete Short Stories Volume One by J. G. Ballard

My brother, trapped forever in a glass of Christmas prosecco. What tragic curse is this?

About a week ago, @irny.bsky.social’s TERMINUS arrived, so beautifully wrapped I was hesitant to open it. I did start to unwrap it, stopped, and tried to put it back together to photograph it.

My pick for 2025 best actor and supporting actor.

I think if you were to review a board game without first playing it, or you reviewed it after you changed the rules or didn’t follow some of the rules, you would get rightly mocked. And yet, in TTRPGs, it’s a common practice.

The Alien game where everything goes wrong aka we didn't read the rules properly, still we came close before the Nostromo self-destructed.

Welcome to everyone new to following me on BSky! You can also follow my upcoming KS campaign, an occult action thriller THE THUNDER PERFECT MIND.

The three ghosts of Christmas cake, or something.

Morning all. Over the last few days, while I should have been taking a break, I put together a revised version of my first book, Play Unsafe. Here it is on my Patreon. Hope you enjoy it. And have a great day. www.patreon.com/posts/gifts-...

The TERMINUS hardbacks have arrived and the fancy UV spot gloss has come out exactly as hoped – glossy tiles and matte grout! 🥳 It almost feels like it's embossed. I'll be posting these out as soon as I can manage it. 📦🔜

Managed to play (and enjoy) 16 different RPGs this year. Thanks to my various groups who are willing to try just about anything! Y'all rock.

Top 10 Albums of 2025 As work tails off, time to have a look at the music that got me inspired this year 5. I love slightly off kilter pop and Wet Leg do that really well with riffs, melodies and swears that gnaw into your brain. Moisturizer is another great album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbc6...
