2025 in books: I didn't read as much this year as I planned (partly due to our new small human). Again the list is pretty much dominated with sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Definitely gravitated towards collections of short stories, although Varney the Vampire more than redressed the balance!

Oh, that was a lot of fun! Thank you @miskatonicplayhouse.com, @valygirlheather.bsky.social and my wonderful cast mates Lydia, @embroideredyeti.bsky.social and @bastetthecat.bsky.social - not to mention author Zoë Cretney!

An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history. But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels? Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

Bridgett's @symphonyhorror.bsky.social's latest community creator interview is with independent Call of Cthulhu creator @katclay.com, who says "I currently participate in the Miskatonic Repository @drivethrurpg.com, and can safely say, it’s changed my life." Read Kat's full interview at the link:

The ever eloquent @mrspike.bsky.social kindly recorded my short story, Ex Libris, for the Playhouse. As it ain't Christmas without a ghost story, here it is to listen to: youtu.be/W7IX6hPvkPg #ghoststory #horror

Don't miss tonight's @miskatonicplayhouse.com livestream of the amazing Regency Cthulhu scenario The Viscount Who Left Me! 🫀 Starring @valygirlheather.bsky.social as Keeper, @thejunipertree.bsky.social , @embroideredyeti.bsky.social , @bastetthecat.bsky.social and @lynneahardy.bsky.social !

250 years ago today #JaneAusten was born. Little did she know that her works would go on to inspire a trilogy of ttrpg scenarios (alongside a myriad of other works). To celebrate, Host and Hostility, my ENNIE award winning trio of 1-to-1 #RegencyCthulhu scenarios, is discounted to $2.50! 1/3

THIS WEDNESDAY at 2pm ET! I'm headed back to the Miskatonic Playhouse to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th birthday with a live Regency Cthulhu one-shot. www.twitch.tv/Miskatonicpl... The scenario is also available on DriveThruRPG in print and PDF. #Chaosium #CallOfCthulhu #MiskatonicPlayhouse

Very proud that my wife's Bridgerton inspired #RegencyCthulhu scenario, The Viscount Who Left Me, is now available in print! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... Scandal and horror await the investigators as they hunt for a nobleman who vanished on his wedding night. #CallofCthulhu #TTRPG

For the Dead Travel Fast! Our four week tour of Dracula is now over, and I've had the time of my (after)life playing the titular count on stage.

Fun little project: took receipt of a set of custom dice made by @epoxy-alchemist.bsky.social, based on a vintage Huntley & Palmers Breakfast Biscuits tin. Each die contains a miniature biscuit! Also pictured, two 3D printed 'D2' biscuits.

Just published a supplement for Call of Cthulhu, which features my first ever short story in print (Ex Libris)! It was great collaborating with so many creative minds on this. If you want a collection of 60+ tomes of forbidden lore for your game, check it out! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

One of the best parts of coordinating a joint project for publication is seeing how creative everyone is. One of the other best parts is mocking up book covers for tomes that shouldn't exist!

A well deserved win for a fantastic scenario by an amazing author.

Had such a great time recording this play-though of @katclay.com's The Well of All Fear. Thanks again to our Keeper @valygirlheather.bsky.social, and to our amazing guests @tayacampbellover.bsky.social and @maijaihibberd.bsky.social of @damselsdnd.bsky.social youtu.be/MMAJVJIDG0Q

On the off-chance anyone is around Yorkshire this October, I'm playing the titular Count in this touring theatrical production of Dracula. Just under five weeks to go! All tickets available at linktr.ee/DraculaSH

I made the handouts for this. Grab a copy - it's a great scenario that really hits the right atmosphere!

Coming soon to @backerkit.com Embers of Humanity print edition. - Brand new Layout - Tweaked rules - Expanded settlement rules - Fancy art Follow along here: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Ran @sdorward.bsky.social's Catland in our Curse of Nineveh campaign tonight. Most investigators use force or cunning to solve problems. Mine are using bureaucracy and have called an EGM of the Cat Fancier's Association to try and solve a bloody feud. Surely nothing can go wrong! #CallOfCthulhu

Two years since Host and Hostility won Silver - please do vote for the glorious community content nominated ths time round.

To mark the 249th 4th of July... ...Colonial Cthulhu by Kevin Ross. Coming soon. Eighteenth century New England is the foundation of the Cthulhu Mythos and needs its own setting. Now in the last 10% of editing. #ttrpg #Chaosium #RPG #callofcthulhu #SixtystonePress #July4th

Running this in person for the Miskatonic Playhouse at UKGE last year was great fun - do check it out for Railway based spooks! www.miskatonicplayhouse.com/podcast/laf

Happy Stereoscopy day! #worldstereoscopyday #stereoscopy

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

Another wonderful review video from XP Lovecat! This time a dive into Note and Notoriety. youtu.be/0p2DqM1Cfyw #RegencyCthulhu #CallOfCthulhu

It's Chaosium Con UK at Cranfield this weekend coming, and I'll be there supporting Rivers of London: the Roleplaying Game. @benaaronovitch.bsky.social will also be dropping in there on Saturday 24th May to hang out and sign stuff

If you like Victorian ghost stories in your games, then you'll love this scenario!

Her are ten fantastic Call of Cthulhu scenrios at a discounted price. Well worth checking out!

When I was a teenager I used to frequent the pub in which Crowley died. Never did meet his ghost (plenty of other spirits though). Do check this Kickstarter out - it promises to be great!

And we are LIVE!! Please repost! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cro...

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

After picking up a copy of the Mythos CCG I've spend the evening cobbling together decks, but keep getting distracted by the artwork...

Howdy community! We’re hoping you’ll drop a vote 🗳️ for us in the www.critawards.org in a few catergories . . . It would mean the world to us 😊 You can check out the votes here —> discord.com/channels/954... #ttrpg #vote #CritAwards #ttrpgcommunity

Spend this morning staring at the sun (with appropriate protection of course!) If a total eclipse heralds the waking of the Other Gods, this probably them pressing the snooze button.

Great review for the @miskatonicplayhouse.com's first scenario. Great work @johnthehedge.bsky.social!

Just returned home to find this a wonderful package from @irny.bsky.social. Those who know me know how much I love good game handouts! #darkenedhillanddale #ttrpg
