Content is a foul word that devalues and flattens a tremendous amount of skilled labor. Have respect for your art. Don’t call your hard work “content.”

I can't express how much I fucking hate the word "content"

We put the heating on for the first time today and I forgot to pre-emptively dust the top of the radiator behind my desk, so of course I now can't breathe

I don't know what they're teaching kids now but when I was in school in the 90s and early 00s we didn't learn about any of this at all. I was an adult before I knew a single thing about this part of our history and that's shameful.

We all lived! We found the treasure (but who knows if we'll escape with it and live long enough to even sell it)! @octopusink.games died and was immediately resurrected in basically the first room. @discodan.bsky.social lost all of his hand skin! @user-nu11.bsky.social made a cool blood snake!

CanyonHeavy Cowboys (and friends) ride again - in an entirely different world in entirely different bodies! Keeping the #OVER/UNDER enthusiasm alive, we're playing A Dungeon Game, led by @loottheroom.bsky.social. Will we live? Will we die? Will an even worse third thing happen? Probably!

Just ran The Moss Mother's Maze for the first time in over a year, for a group of 10 people who I met playing #over/under. Had an absolute blast watching them make terrible decision after terrible decision. Game good.

Exactly one woman has won the Booker in the past six years www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At Dragonmeet I'll be running T&T at the Rebellion booth in the morning and hanging out for a bit. I'll also be on the T&T seminar at 12.30 with @loottheroom.bsky.social Afterwards catch me around the floor. I'll pay a visit to the Osprey booth if you want a signed book.

Thanks, Photoshop 2026, for completely hiding the gradient fill tool somewhere I can't find it. It's not like I was using it anyway.

Everybody loves to talk about owning the means of production but if you’re an independent artist, they say “not you.”

BUNDLE

Sold one of the watches my dad left me which means I now get to buy a fragrance I actually like, which is fun. I don't know why I think anybody would care about this but I'm posting anyway.

I have been so very eagerly looking forward to this: Kickstarter mail day 🏮 Calpini - a TTRPG module by @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social An unofficial module for use with 'a dungeon game' @loottheroom.bsky.social and compatible with @morkborg.com - for 2-6 low level characters.

I've been having a very slow motion argument with someone on Reddit for the past few days who really wants "H.P. Lovecraft was British" to be true

Still on my Wheel Of Time re-read, about halfway through Lord Of Chaos. I remembered that Perrin vanishes from the narrative for a bit but I'd forgotten for quite how long. Give me some wolf action ffs

Did you know that you can get all of my Wretched & Alone games in one bundle for just £30? Now you do. itch.io/s/159400/wre...

As promised, I've bundled together everything I've released on itch for @morkborg.com. 7 adventures, 2 pamphlet adventures, 2 soundtracks, and a short story for £50, or 34% off everything (because it makes the £10 adventures £6.60 and that's fun). itch.io/s/167473/mrk... #ttrpg #osr

A Dungeon Game stuff in the wild always makes me happy

First bad storm of the year means it's officially Damien Rice season

Things I absolutely do not need right now: my windows to start leaking

During #over/under I started writing an EP of heavy post-rock inspired by the game. It isn't close to being finished, but I've just shared one of the tracks over on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/143587...

Getting ready to introduce a whole new crew to my very miserable game

Playing a video game that has my music in it, and realising as I'm playing that the music is actually good, is such a great feeling

Having clients who will let you invoice them at 95% of the project rather than insisting on waiting for the last few bits so you can actually get your bills paid is an absolute godsend

It's taken me 90 minutes to pack up and buy postage for 11 parcels. Absolutely ridiculous.

Not, I have to say, my ideal running conditions

BBC Introducing is now promoting AI music. We're so fucked.

LILANCHOLY LAUNCHES ON SATURDAY!!

These people are among us and they really are posting through it.

It's uncomfortable for a lot of kidlit creators to contend with, but if you leave porn without defense, the censors are comin for you next THEY ALWAYS DO (and they HAVE been in this era of book bans) (defend porn like your freedom of speech depends on it) (because it does)

"But her emails!" But his hard drive.

There are some things that it is absolutely not worth being "technically correct" about (especially when you're not actually correct by any technical standard). The word "ephebophilia" is very much on that list.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

You also get soundtracks with some of these games. 6 games for a fiver each, plus music.

Today is all about scheduling the 2026 calendar; giving myself a heart attack *now* so I don't have 70 small heart attacks next year, or at the very least cutting that 70 down to a healthy 30. 2026 Book Club subscriptions open in TWO WEEKS🖤☠️

Put Bob Odenkirk in a Knives Out film

This is not a difficult problem to solve.

The Wretched is the most fun you will ever have playing Jenga by yourself. For 6 different versions (plus the dope soundtracks that I listen to just because) this is a steal.

Do you ever think about the fact that Shakespeare probably never ate chocolate

What are the best new horror novellas that I might have missed? I specifically love really well written, slow, atmospheric stuff, but on the flipside I also love a ton of gore and violence, so I'm open to lots of things.

Getting a new cat just to be able to use the name Stevie Licks

I'm going to miss games being my whole job so much.

Does anybody else just randomly get one day a month where they feel like they've got the flu and can't stop sneezing, or is that just me?

This game genuinely feels like we packed a 3-year-long campaign into a month and are now trying to decompress from it
