Ever wondered what really goes on at the Playhouse? Look no further!

eavesdropping on a couple of english lit academics in st. john, i overheard confirmation of what is surely going to be the biggest literary news story of the year

I've written a stage adaptation of Lovecraft's 'The Rats in the Walls', which is having it's world premier in October this year (in a double bill with Agatha Christie's 'The Rats'). If you're in the North of England do come and see it! #hplovecraft #agathachristie #theratsinthewalls #therats

“Maybe birds go to the moon in winter” is one of the more charming misconceptions in science I’ve heard

It's exciting, and yet a bit surreal, to see my name on a Chaosium publication. Thanks @lynneahardy.bsky.social for the opportunity to write for RoL!

Just announced! Rivers of London: No Place Like Home is an all-new case file collection for Rivers of London: the Roleplaying Game. Arriving home August, 2026.

Still think @petedoom.bsky.social's cover for Lost and Found in my favourite of all my CoC scenarios. Got to love that vintage railway vibe.

there is more compelling evidence for the existence of fairies than there is for the consciousness of LLMs

Oh hey, I wrote a tiny book. It's like an interactive adventure that kills you if you play properly & makes fun of you if you cheat It's the perfect way to spend an hour, or to torture your friends with by claiming you found the good ending. Goto: 01 - The Blasted Lands is part of #PocketQuest2026

Trip to the National Railway Museum today and took some #stereographic shots

New addition to the writing desk - a Wren pen from #tomstudio. Refillable fibre-tip that uses fountain pen ink. First impressions very favourable, and suspect this will become my go to travel pen for the foreseeable.

I'm bringing back the Mythos CCG this year for its 30th birthday, with probably the first tournament run in the UK for (over?) a decade. Got to love out-of-print games!

My latest Call of Cthulhu scenario THE INNSMOUTH TERROR is now available in Print on Demand for only $11.99 And... oh, it's pretty team. It's so very pretty...

First read-through of the double-bill I'll be directing in October, featuring all the rodents! Fun fact: Agatha Christie and HP Lovecraft were born less than a month apart (Aug/Sept 1890). #AgathaChristie #HPLovecraft #TheRats #TheRatsInTheWalls #Theatre

I do have a tip for aspiring writers: when naming the giant insect monsters in your setting, avoid naming them 'buggers' if you want Brits to be able to take it seriously. I don't know what my husband's reading but he keeps saying things like 'the buggers were anything but inefficient,' and 😆

Hope-filled post-apoc RPG you say? Don't mind if I do! Got the chance to play this last year and it was a blast.

Our next episode of Slow Boat to China is out now! The passengers split up into pairs and search the ship for clues, realising that something sinister is afoot aboard their vessel. Listen: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4aN49eAaOOD0c4B9h3N6tr Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/snk8vNHAJk

A few months ago, we at the @miskatonicplayhouse.com noticed that there just, weren’t any scenarios on the Miskatonic Repository about storied Innsmouth. So we decided to do something about it.

@petedoom.bsky.social just sent me the latest draft for the front cover of my next publication on the Miskatonic Repository. Damn. I’m excited The Innsmouth Terror. Coming soon. #CallofCthulhu

We’re now looking for a few more players for Emberscon. Interested in playing post apocalyptic roleplaying in a fun and cosy community? Join the con.

Hi #EarlyModern Bluesky - did you know that someone brilliant has built working printing presses using Lego and they are trying to get enough supporters so that Lego will release it as a kit? They look so cool! beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Britain. 1813. Across the island, the folk ballads of the common people are coming to life. The dead walk, dragons rise, lovers betray one another, authorities condemn innocents to die — whatever happens in the song happens in real life. My latest TTRPG is coming soon to Kickstarter! #ttrpg

I love how this reads as if Ralph Vaughan Williams’ was intent on reviving the dead villagers and creating an undead horde of zombie folk singers.

Bought a new (old) desk to replace the broken thing I've been writing on for the past few years. Unfortunately it was quickly claimed by another family member.

Join us for Embers Con. A cozy online community convention for post-apocalyptic games and Embers of Humanity. Free to attend. Run entirely by the community, for the community. discord.gg/AaWK9vNmgF

Today marks the end of an era, with the closure of Yog-Sothoth.com after 28(?) years. I first found it soon after it started, in 1998, while I was in grad school. When they started up forums, I was member 98. I was a moderator there for close to 2 decades. 1/

The Bride of Pendle is currently on sale for $14 in honour of Valentine's Day up until the end of the month! Play an epic folk horror scenario of love...and betrayal! #callofcthulhu @drivethrurpg.com www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?d...

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration. I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking! Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻

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
