Boas festas #bluesky friends, it's been a good year, looking forward to more

Resources pack for Blade & Bullet Core Rules now available for free. Suitable for GMs & Players. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #ttrpg #rpg

The hardcopy of the Blade & Bullet Core Rules is now available on Amazon (internationally). I also intend to set it up on DriveThruRPG, which is good because it will also include the PDF download for free as well, but at least Amazon has cheaper postage. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G643TVD7 #rpg #ttrpg

Sales of the RPG Scenario are going very well. Everyone loves a freebie, eh? Hoping to get another one out for Xmas.

After several months play-testing, we can finally update our Blade & Bullet Core Rules. Get it the PDF download here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... #ttrpg #rpg #role-playing

Remember folks, every time someone says "happy holidays" some ignorant racist tug-nugget screws their face up in rage and may die of apoplexy, so "happy holidays" people, boas festas. 😄🎉🌲

The way Ukraine is standing up to the weight of the Russian army reminded of this book from 2010. I got the feeling the Ukrainian generals may have read it. www.goodreads.com/book/show/71... #booksky #books #wargaming

What will the term "FIFA Peace Prize" mean to people in the future? A term of derision; cheap plastic fakery; for distracting simpletons?

Only 12 hours left to grab Beyond The Mark for FREE before it goes back to its regular price. I rarely ask for shares, but let's do one big holiday push-please share so others can snag it too! www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM96B5J9 #Booksky #eBook #Kindle #Free #Fantasy

Huge news: Beyond The Mark is FREE on Amazon Dec 1-5. 🎄 I write because I love the world and the characters, not the money. If you claim a free copy, spreading the word so others can too would help more than you know. #Booksky #Freebooks #Kindle #Fantasy

@kevin-gallant.bsky.social says his book, Beyond the Mark will be free with 500 shares, so mine will be too! Hit Kevin's post and like /share if you will. #booksky #book #fantasy www.amazon.co.uk/Water-Blade-...

It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back. If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December. No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing. #Booksky #Author

The Earthen Fist crosses the 70k word mark, almost twice as many as Vol 1. Now is the time to park it for a while before the first round of edits. Time for some edits on Blade & Bullet Core Rules & Dark Ages Fantasy Supplement, and get some progress done on the Gothic Horror and Sci Fi add-ons too.

Been playing around with running Blade & Bullet games on Roll20. I'd say it's going well and I've had fun learning the Macros n stuff. Here's an example: #ttrpg #rpg #roll20

"The Water Blade" reduced to £0.99 on Amazon If you like high fantasy with a twist of realism, quirky characters and brutal action (but low gore), dive in to the world of Abalone. Suitable for YA to 87 year olds (so far). www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FJ6B5RG... #booksky #books #rpg #fantasy

Warning to the #WritingCommunity There's a new and quite convincing SCAM going around. Watch out for an email offering to include your book in some fancy BOOK CLUB. I've now seen these from the "Toronto Public Library" and the "Paris Anglophone Book Club." Block and ignore! And please share 💙

Cover reveal time :) Feedback appreciated #booksky #books #fantasy

Volume 2 of Abalone, tentatively titled "The Earthen Fist" will be a continuation of the adventures in "The Water Blade". About 50k words in, so already a bigger read than my debut, perhaps another 10 to 15k to go before I can start with the 2nd phase editing. #booksky #books #fantasy

Marigold’s tales are free on Kindle between 29th Oct and 2nd Nov. Decent Halloween reading. www.amazon.co.uk/stores/autho...

Reading through the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. Brilliant work, but I'm wondering if she used WhatThreeWords for her space-station designations? #murderbot #booksky

Anyone remember the early #Traveller #ttrpg? Used to love the random planet generation system. Roll it up and see what your imagination does with that ultra-dense moonlet heavily populated by six legged ambush-predators 😂

Temperatures have plummeted to the mid 20's, so a cuppa tea and a slice of Lincolnshire Plum Loaf after a heavy afternoon's knitting (Patsy) and working on Vol 2 of Abalone (me) #booksky #fantasy

#ShadowsOverSol 2e marches onward! This week we reviewed the first art, proofed the poster map and made progress on the FoundryVTT support. We also expect the GM Screen soon. Read more on our blog! #scifi #horror #ttrpg​ #rpg #dnd #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.” Zack Polanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

Seems a while since I've made progress on #ttrpg Blade & Bullet, but a game is being run and new edits are happening. 1st time a PC tried to hit an NPC with a car I realised those rules were a bit sloppy. Some edits to the Dark Ages fantasy supplement incoming too following development of the novels

Well, I was considering trying to get my books on to other platforms than Amazon, but it seems Ingram Spark tell me I need to buy an ISBN to upload an ebook. At £93 a shot that's something for the future. Anyone know if other facilitators for Nook, Kobo, etc don't need an ISBN? #booksky #book

Thanks to a bit of advice from @sturrock.bsky.social , I've been able to strip the fantasy world map back to the basics and repopulate it digitally. Photoshop isn't particularly intuitive to use, but once I got the original scan cleaned up, Paint does the job nicely. #booksky #book #fantasy #sf&f

When representing a foreign accent over the narrated language, is it best to just describe it as such, or do the "Allo Allo" thing with pigeon translations and "ver are der nuclear wessels"? #booksky #book #sf&f #fantasy

Folks with graphics skills. Is it possible to turn a hand sketch into an editable digital one? Made this years ago, needs updating in line with game and book developments #book #booksky #sf&f #ttrpg

Well that was embarrassing. Big fat typo staring me right in the face and repeated 38 times throughout the story. Fixed now, and a shiny new cover. Free on Drivethru, but can't seem to be able to update the cover on that yet. #booksky #book #sf&f www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0FJ...

How to price an ebook? I think ebooks should be much cheaper than print books, but these days my fave authors are doing ebooks at what print books were 5/6 years ago. I can't charge an hourly rate, so guess I want people to buy, by tempting them with a 1.99 price. Any sale is good, right? #booksky

You can now get "The Water Blade" in paperback. Unfortunately couldn't make the short stories free without signing an exclusivity deal, so you still need to go to DriveThruFiction for those. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FJ6B5RG... #booksky #books

The Water Blade is also available on Amazon, I'm working to get it on the other main platforms too. I'll get a couple of freebies loaded up soon if I can. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FJ69TTQ... #booksky #books #fantasy

My debut novel is published! Take a step in to the world of Abalone. www.drivethrufiction.com/product/5285... #booksky

Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man! www.badsquiddogames.com

This week I've been going through all the unread books on my kindle. It's going to be a cheap couple of months, phew! #booksky

Just downloaded issue 3 of the excellent @peasantmagazine.bsky.social Good entertaining reads 😁 #booksky

To help those affected by the collapse of Yurtel and the loss of Glasto tickets, were pleased to offer our land. €1000 gets you a tent, endless sunshine and a screening of the timeless classics "Antz" and "A Bugs Life"

It feels like a fine day to give some books away! And this time I’m going big. I’m giving away a stack of all my books 1s. That’s 4 signed books and 4 different worlds in my universe 🔄 Repost and ❤️ like to enter A winner will be chosen next week and open worldwide🤘

I think the Sycamore Gap knobheads underline one of the reasons I've chosen to emigrate from the UK. Mindless thugs running all over the place, causing wanton destruction of anything that's nice about the country. Now, similar thugs are gaining political influence. The UK is FUBAR.

E-readers. Is there one that will be accessable for all the main book providers (Amazon, Kobo, Nook, etc) so that you can read all your DRM books on one device, or is that not a thing? #booksky

So, the Pope tells the Orange Bastard off. Orange Bastard sends the Neck-beard Baby to the Vatican. The Pope dies. Coincidence?

Lord of the Flies, vol 2: Trumpistan. A group of adolescent-minded isolationists descend into mindlessness and savagery, inventing crazy religions and finally eating each other.

If you go down to the marshes today You're in for a big surprise... It's full of bloodthirsty minotaurs that would love nothing but to eat you, insects the size of your fist, and marshes that swallow regiments whole 🙂 Get a free copy of The Iron Keys: bengalley.eo.page/vs5sh

Orange Bastard seems to be quoting Putin's threats against Ukraine three years ago word for word when he talks about Greenland!
