My desire to matchy matchy all my books was strong, so now I have three signed doorstoppers of The Will of the Many and The Strength of the Few, which will now need their own allocated bookshelf.

Doing a dumb playthrough of The Outer Worlds 2 was a very, very good idea. 🤣

I'm running The Hammersmith Haunting as part of a free session at Altona North Library for International Games Month. 🗓️ 13 November, 6-9pm Come along, roll some dice, and maybe go a lil bit insane... Sign ups essential! www.eventbrite.com.au/e/tabletop-g...

Had a brilliant time at the ACMI Silksong party dressed as a circa 2000s high fashion Hornet. 🪡 Have a fabulous Halloween folks. 🎃

My biggest beef with fantasy novels is where your government is the only one on the continent and there's no thought to how the economy works. 🤦‍♀️ Anyway bravo to this post!

Gondor calls for keyboard!

Ran Resort for a bunch of friends last night and every time, the chaos goes to 11. It's a joy to run as a keeper - I've never had more fun and laughs wreaking havoc on the players.

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...

If you're in Melbourne, I'm running The Hammersmith Haunting as part of a spooky event at Elder Gods & Dragons in Carlton on Saturday 1 November. Come along for the gaslight vibes and maybe some insanity along the way... www.egnd.com.au/event-detail...

Clearly, my new Call of Cthulhu author photo.

Had an absolutely brilliant time at PAX doing absolutely nothing except for wandering around and seeing friends and cosplayers.

Tis I, pretending to be erudite

And this 2ND in line baroness was brought to life beautifully both in play and illustration by @annspaghetti.bsky.social! I really played up the class from @chaosium.bsky.social and all it's author's gaslight chtulhu, so she and Kirk McDougal be scheming while the rest rushes to St. Paul's Church

It's Baron from the Baronies!

The Stream of Chaos begins with Amelia Tyler!! 🐙 @chaosium.bsky.social

Headlice is my favourite game of PAX so far. Absolutely madcap parasitic adventures, but they got the mechanics just right. Hilarious.

PAX I am here! I'm not doing panels or content creation this year, just chilling and catching up with friends. If you see me, feel free to say hi.

Also I really need to share my outfit from last night's ARPIAs cause they said gala and I answered. 💁‍♀️

Congrats to Chaosium community content creators @katclay.com and @davidwaldron.bsky.social, winners at the Australian RPG Industry Awards #ARPIA tonight, part of Melbourne International Games Week. Kat won Best Scenario for 'Resort' (Call of Cthulhu) and David was awarded Best Emerging Creator.

Genuinely shocked and amazed to have won the award for Best Scenario for Resort at the Australian Industry Roleplaying Awards. I am truly grateful to all the playtesters, my friend @johnnylogmar.bsky.social, the fine folks @chaosium.bsky.social and the TTRPG community for their support. 🙏

I rewatched Princess Mononoke again tonight (first time on the big screen) and it is truly a perfect movie. Also let's all please live in harmony with the forests thanks very much.

Can't believe this seriously good op shop find of the Galadriel goblet by Royal Selangor. Straight to the Gondor room.

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

I've been streaming The Drifter this week and I'm loving it, the viewers are loving it, and I reckon it's a bloody ripper @dave.powerhoof.com

A real privilege to give a guest lecture on writing for games at RMIT tonight. Means a lot to me to hopefully open the door to TTRPGs to someone else, the same way @markmwrites.bsky.social did for me.

This is one of the reasons I provide a plain text Word doc with my games. Sure, people could misuse it but it's worth it for accessibility. If you ever need to convert it to an epub to meet your needs it's fine with me.

This made me feel better about taking months to write a game review, because I always want it to be the best review I've written to date, and I mostly don't care if anyone reads it. I'm happy in my little literary game criticism corner of the internet.

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

Bye bye husband... Happy Silksong day to all who celebrate! 🪡

I see some familiar names short-listed for the ARPIAs! Best Stream: CASTLETON @winterstalesco.bsky.social Best Emerging Creator: @davidwaldron.bsky.social Best Scenario: 'RESORT', BY @katclay.com Game of the Year: 'CARTOGRAPH', BY @ravensridgeco.bsky.social www.arpia.org/arpia-2025-s...

Also in the craziness of seeing three films back-to-back at MIFF and getting nominated for two ARPIAs, I forgot to say... ...I'm now a Twitch Affiliate! 🎉 twitch.tv/katclay/

Slightly in shock to see my Call of Cthulhu scenario Resort nominated for two ARPIA awards! 🎉 Resort is up for Best Scenario and Best PDF Only Product. Also a delight to be nominated alongside friends. www.arpia.org/arpia-2025-s...

Absolutely heartbreaking - Bud was a huge part of the Miskatonic Repository community and supported mine and many others' work. 💔

A very personal video for me on YouTube today. I talk about how Elden Ring helped me get through the death of my nan and everything else that's been going on the past six months. Truly the story of how a wretch became an Elden Lord... youtu.be/ZVxwickTBtI #eldenring

Sellens discovered, you can get Kat's scenario in the Buxton Spring Gift Shop! #seeninthewild #callofcthulhu

Friends, these fine folks are making an amazing Dracula game. I've played the demo and it's stunning. Any help you can give in the final days of their Kickstarter would help bring this amazing project to life! 🧛

I am so glad I'm not the first person to think of this in Tainted Grail. Laughed so hard when I got a trophy for turning someone into cheese. Also you can cast cheese magic, that is all. 🧀

About to go live with some Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. Wearing my chain mail jumper like any good Arthurian girlie. 👸 Come say hi on Twitch and YouTube. twitch.tv/katclay www.youtube.com/katclay

ICYMI! Asian, Maori, Pacific Islander, Latinx and Black Heritage folk! 👇👇👇

I've been saying for a while but the Chaosium community content program is awesome, and the folks here really want you to succeed and put cool things into the world. Huge props to Nick and Bridgett for all they do.

Very pleased to see the live play of The Hammersmith Haunting nominated for an ENNIE! Thanks to @davidwaldron.bsky.social and the team from Tales from Rat City for bringing it to life!

Chaosium Con Australia was an absolute blast. I ran my game Resort (hijinks ensued), signed books, met some wonderful women in ttrpgs, and played a bunch of Cthulhu and Pendragon. 🐙 #callofcthulhu

I've had a few people ask why I'm not streaming or formally involved with Chaosium Con this year. It's all for personal reasons - the past six months have been very difficult with the death of my grandmother, serious family illness, and my own health. But the good news is, I'm back!
