This week's obsolete tech purchase: the Vestax Pocket Studio GSM 602, a piece of gear I've been trying to get a hold of for about 15 years. Was it worth it? We'll have to see

I want a proper keyboard. Please tell me what's a good keyboard. (I'm trying to reduce the inevitable rabbit hole this will lead me down)

Did you know I have a tool for making your own oracle, useful for solo ttrpgs? It's called Hill Marks, and it's disguised as a National Trust activity pamphlet. alfredvalley.itch.io/hill-marks Let's make an oracle!

Just followed this - looks extremely up my dang alley (and probably yours too)!

#MÖRKTOBER day 8: WIZARD I made a video of the making of this one vm.tiktok.com/ZNdnPGJMd/

Right, now I have some time (and a copy myself!) it's time to share some internal pics from the new issue, my thoughts on the relevant features & perhaps persuade a few more of you to buy a copy (because it's swell) shop.wyrd.science So today let's start with @malcolmcraig.bsky.social's one, as...

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 4: STAIN Was about to skip this one when I stumbled on the perfect source image

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 4: HOWL Safe to say, I'm just doing whatever I feel like now

Ttrpg design is wild because half the time you're thinking "I wonder if I can make people do vector calculus to resolve an attack check" and the other half of the time your game is called Monster Butts and the rules are that if a monster hits you with its butt you become a monster.

#MÖRKTOBER day 3: DAGGERS Got the paints out last night. (reuploaded in the correct file format)

Hey it’s bandcamp Friday and our band just put our new EP

Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share and passing funds directly to artists today. Here's some music you can support: Sleeping in a Drowning Stone – Gus BC's impeccable soundtrack for Thousand Empty Light. Seriously this is just a great record. chalicesofthepast.bandcamp.com/album/sleepi...

Thousand Empty Light by @alfredvalley.bsky.social is *great* alfredvalley.itch.io/thousand-emp...

#MÖRKTOBER day 2: MAW This prompt happened to align with a title I wanted to use for an EP so this may get reused

#MÖRKTOBER day 1: FROG Never done Morktober before - seems fun. Will I be able to keep this up? Certainly not.

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment! Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game. Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run. Like a game? Comment away!

You've still got time to back this delightful thing

Thousand Empty Light is getting a reprint in October (for anyone who wasn't able to snag a physical copy first time round) alfredvalley.itch.io/thousand-emp...

I'm Alfred of the Haus of Valley. I make analog games – y'know, things you play on a real life table. I'm based in London, UK. I'm best known for solo games and the messy intermingling of analog and digital. My newsletter is a good way to stay updated: www.hausofvalley.com/subscribe

Crowdfunding in November: BRUTE FORT This is an 18 card solo dungeon delving game combined with a tape cassette soundtrack of nasty dungeon synth by Gus BC (who also did the soundtrack for Thousand Empty Light) Link to follow the project coming soon...

excuse me do you have a moment to talk about the wicky wild wild west

Did I buy some elaborate cap guns just for this video? Yes. Did I buy a Burger King toy of Dr. Arliss Loveless from the 1999 movie Wild Wild West just for this video? Yes. Did I buy a fedora just for this video? Please. I had that already.

Scum on the frontier; Frontier Scum. Alfred Valley's back with a spitwad rules summary to get you hyped about this rootin' tootin' acid western roleplaying game.
