Have submitted a game of @jonmarkhicks.bsky.social Pressure, The Ana-Sim-Emid Report and hoping to get into one of the other excellent games on offer! If you're In London, come on down! www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/pressure-... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

Have you checked out our 100% free Convicts & Cthulhu Quickstart? Its 70 pages contains a cut-down version of the full rules, 6 pre-gen characters, & an exciting adventure. Basically everything needed to run a one-shot in convict settlements of New South Wales. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Folks, I'm closing late pledges on the TERMINUS Kickstarter tomorrow evening! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... Post-Kickstarter copies will cost a little more and probably not be available before Dragonmeet (end of Nov).

New episode of Black Armada Tales is out! We are continuing our campaign of Ex Tenebris. This week Tamzi (the Resurrected) and Galen (the Tarnished Badge) interview a suspect and get more than they bargained for! #actualplay #ttrpg #spacegothic

And if you can’t wait until January for a face to face game, there’s always Dice in a Dead City on 15 November, Chancery Lane. warhorn.net/events/dice-...

warhorn.net/events/dahn-... Chancery Lane. London. 31st January. All day. First tranche of games loaded in. Age of Cthulhu. OSE. Twilight 2K.

Hmm. Not sure what's up with a lot of otherwise attractive-looking TTRPG kickstarters deciding to not tell me much about the game, to the point I can't back it. Is the wisdom that if your wordcount is too big, you'll drive people away?

Quite pleased with this micro review of Booker prize winner, Milkman by Anna Burns. It's a #2025ReadingChallenge number 39, but who's counting. I'm impressed I managed to shoehorn in a TTRPG thought that connects this book - the troubles, gossip - to #PbtA play books. buttondown.com/theraspyrave...

Hope Springs Eternal is out now.

Something Crawls Through - a brand new one-shot for The Terror Beneath set in the Welsh Wilderness. Pay what you want trollish-delver-games.itch.io/something-cr...

Nostalgia trip... Going back to the first bit of #TTRPG writing that got me hooked on Cosmic Horror RPGs - Call of Cthulhu, Trail of Cthulhu, Cthulhu Hack, Cthulhu Dark. Text is a play example from Call of Cthulhu 3rd edition. PS - Happy to take it down if it infringes anything.

Tonight, first session of @effektpodcast.org's Tales of the Old West, running the King of Santa Fe, an 1876 New Mexico campaign. Already the players have given me gold dust in terms of their characters & background. Not using @foundryvtt.bsky.social yet, but should be all setup for session two.

In Memoriam Mike Hobbs #ratemybreakfast Scholar Hotel, University of Edinburgh

Godless & contemplating a quote from Frank Griffin, "I admire your ginger, sir." As he ponders the fate of myopic Sheriff Bill McNue. Holding my breath during this scene. Beyond this quote, incredible writing & acting. What a series! #TVShows #Godless #JeffDaniels #ScootMcNairy

I was very late to the Avengers. This is still too early for me to have watched intentionally – at just 5 years old – but I recall something of Steed, Purdey and Gambit. For certain viewers, Series 2 episode 2 is the go to viewing, Angels of Death. Ms Munro in action @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social

Just a reminder we’re migrating the Liminal Horror blog/newsletter to patreon. That part is free so you don’t need to pledge any money. If you do sign up for paid tiers there’s some cool stuff planned and you help fund some of the rad things we’re cooking up. www.patreon.com/posts/limina...

Folks, I need some help making a decision! I've added a little too much material to TERMINUS, and my printer tells me that it's too thick to sensibly staple-bind at A5! So, the options are: - Keep it A5, and upgrade to perfect binding. - Make it A4, and keep it staple-bound. What do ppl prefer?

Today is my birthday! I treated myself to covid & flu vaccines this morning and now I'm doing high level edits on all the writing I've been doing all week. If you want to help me celebrate 46 years around the sun then please share the Ex Tenebris kickstarter!

A repost for the morning crowd. And yes, late pledges for TERMINUS will close next week! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...

Great fun talking to @irny.bsky.social about how to write system flexible scenarios, using the brilliant examples of her Darkened Hill & Dale and Terminus Kickstarters! You can still late pledge for Terminus until 1st Oct, see www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... open.spotify.com/episode/6UTy...

I received my copies of Feast For A Sphinx!!! They look GREAT! 😊

Update on my #2025ReadingChallenge a book a week. I'm on book 38, Milkman by Anna Burns. I'm enjoying it, it's a language challenge, but slowly a story is unfolding. I am though in a reader's block of feeling the massive effort in having to find time to read without sleeping or being distracted.

Discuss. 😬 #TTRPG #Gamemastery #GM #HavingFun

Goodnight. Concept drawings by Hermann Warm for The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920).

Let's talk about the character archetypes in Ex Tenebris! In Ex Ten you choose an Archetype, which is mostly skillset-based, and a Role, which is about your personality and how you fit into the team. I'll come back to Roles in a future post. ⤵️

This looks up my street, have to look for a free weekend between now and Jan. www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/nat...

Dragonbane last night, more Path of Glory but two PC deaths last night. I'm refactoring my opinion of Dragonbane being a gentle fantasy RPG... it's brutal. It didn't help that our GM rolled about 5 crits and our thief ran off, we have too many thieves. Welcome Hackleswell, a Mallard elementalist!

For those saddened that they won't get to hear me opine on "Psychedelics and the Cthulhu Mythos" today at 1pm @hplff.bsky.social they can assuage their despond by hearing me opine on Anything: youtu.be/_SxP3lawEC0?...

Good Morning Blue Sky! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently reading a great fantasy novel A Sword of Gold and Ruin by Anna Smith Spark. What are you reading at the moment?

Hey d'Art! Kickstarter wraps up in under 2 weeks. You Were Made is a solo RPG with prompts, dice, and journaling. Momentum is awesome right now. Check out the game here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/12p... Thanks!

Fabulous interview and Q&A here with @jwmuk.bsky.social of the Raspy Raven - all about how to write scenarios for Ex Tenebris!

Cheers Bloomsbury for including The Terror Beneath in their top books for Halloween post www.bloomsbury.com/uk/discover/...

📖 Bytes of Game Ads 📺 One of the first computer game ads I can remember seeing in a magazine, one that added even more mystique to Populous in the years before I could actually play it.

Work done for the day. Ten hours slog, so cracking open some wine and relaxing with a book, may just catch the last rays of the sun.
