It’s hard to think of any phrase that’s had the immediate reaction of joy and horror of The Between’s “It’s worse than that” in any RPG I’ve run. So of course I’ve added this pin to my pledge on BackerKit.

We're thrilled to announce RuneQuest: Warlords, a battle-scale turn-based strategy video game set in the legendary #RuneQuest universe, was officially released on Steam today.

In a few hours I'll be attempting to look like I know what I'm talking about. One of these three... 🧐🤓😵‍💫 I thoroughly enjoyed this morning's discussion on ludonarrative dissonance. Or harmony. Or the "Dread fan club" 😀 (Play more Dread!)

Oh look. They’ve actually drawn a diagram for all the people stupid enough to need a bloody diagram.

Tomorrow, I'll be participating in a couple of talks in the Illusion Horror & Con. 10.10 – Ludonarrative Dissonance - discussing game design conflicts between mechanics and narrative 16.10 – Horror in Non-Traditional Settings - building horror in unexpected places youtube.com/@theillusion...

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform. The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

I continued working on #DeeSanction in snatched moments at lunch and when not dealing with cats/other distractions. I'm trying to get all documents into a consistent #Monad layout to provide a guide for page count, presently using some of the original artwork that I love from the softcover edition.

This is the first year I've had enough short fiction out to want to do one of those eligibility posts! Truly grateful for all the opportunities I've had in 2025 🖤

There’s plenty to criticise about the BBC — but it’s our BBC, and when Trump attacks it, we should defend it. The BBC World Service supports democracy activists worldwide. I Let's look into the motives of those attacking the BBC. #BBC #PressFreedom

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here. Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

“Populism, as I see it, is the 99% versus the 1% — the working majority against a tiny elite that has taken our power and wealth.” Green Party Leader Zack Polanski speaks to CNN about hope, unity and taking on billionaire-backed politics.

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country: 1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech. 2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.

The remarkable story we discussed this morning. (No paywall but do consider subscribing.) www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-e...

Reform UK council in Leicestershire proving their “reform” means cutting kids’ decent school meals.

Farage is pro destroying people lives, again and again, and again!

I entered #raspyraven contest to write a minimalistic 3-page adventure for Dee Sanction judged by game creator @paulbaldowski.bsky.social! I didn't win the whole enchilada, but I was featured during the event as a winner. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... paroxysm-by-design.itch.io/only-a-fool

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked. We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

There are few things more bothersome than writing/checking an update—knowing that the moment you post it, the content goes out in an email—and missing a letter in the title. Not quite as bad as getting the date wrong on the cover of the first print edition. www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

Happy Saturday! Read books, take walks, defeat the tech-ghoul oligarchs!
