Enjoyed using an en-dash in the rare useage reason of joining an already compounded phrase to another word. Punctuation satisfaction.

I got a bit excited about the Age of Rebellion one-shot I've written, and got some custom Destiny Tokens printed for when I run it in person. 😅

Aspiring creators with artistic leanings! 🫣 Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛 (I love the various yellow images and only wish my efforts were even a fraction as good!)

Truly stunning rendering of a Zygon, one of my favourite underutilised villains. Yes, they've "recently" had their moment in the spotlight with extended coverage, especially under Capaldi, but I want to see so much more. #DoctorWho #DrWho #Whoniverse

I realise that sorting out my work area is a losing battle. I cleared a shelf previously occupied with scattered stationery, printer supplies and an old monitor, and managed to resettling the content of... a chair stacked with random books, plus stuff that had been clustered around my keyboard area.

In less than two weeks, I'll be at Dragonmeet, at ExCel, tired and confused at the @allrolledup.bsky.social stand. We'll have the usual array of accessories, dice, games of all kinds, and a bunch of stuff with my name in it. Please come by and say "Hello" with a 50-50 chance I won't recognise you.

You have 3 hours and 33 minutes left to grab the Deal of the Day at DriveThruRPG, which is the glorious Trilemma Adventures Compendium. Fun fact: If you read about a gnome corpse/skeleton anywhere in this PDF/book, that's my character Golchak Grimface. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

Current project, a Dee Sanction adventure; The Roots of Evil Exeter 1587, several individuals are dead. Citizens claim it is the return of the Black Assize. Dee suspects foul play, possibly involving supernatural forces. (I also have many other slow burn projects, adventures, etc)

I adore Evlyn's artwork. How can you not when you see pieces like this?

I know it's all been me-me-me Sanction day today, but... do you know that The Dee Sanction has just ONE written review on @drivethrurpg.com—from 2022. If you enjoyed playing or running the game and have the PDF, consider Rating or, better yet, Reviewing: legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/3444...

For anyone who wants to try out Sanction and create their own Community Content, you can pick up the Core Rules at a discount on @drivethrurpg.com: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... Or, grab the Bundle, which includes all the Genre Setups and adventures: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Of course, the next stop for (Dee) Sanction is DriveThru stuff: "...our current requirements for adding a new System Rules filter are: Minimum 30 titles published by at least three separate publishers (i.e., not including the core rules publisher) for that system on DriveThruRPG." Get writing! 😀

I'm enthralled by the great quality of the adventures that have sprung forth from The Raspy Raven organised competition. Third Party Community Content Creation embraces all of Sanction, and I'm loving what's coming out of it. www.sanctionrpg.com www.thedeesanction.com/the-dee-sanc...

The Admiral's Compass is a short adventure for @paulbaldowski.bsky.social The Dee Sanction. Written for the Tales from the Raspy Raven competition, it's a tale set in the aftermath of the English Counter Armada. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

@paulbaldowski.bsky.social led us through Something Winged This Way Comes from @shannagermain.bsky.social for his KS The Dee Sanction Monad edition. A wonderful evening of sleep scented dreamscapes amongst the Corvus Corax of ye olde Tower of Londinium. Never leave home without a Book of Heraldry.

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

Of course in my morning haze I didn't fully convey the multi-level potential of this kind of reliquary. — It's a awful automaton of the Emperor's court in The Dee Sanction — It's a traumatising escapee from the vaults in Ship of Fools — It's an avatar of Nyarlathotep in Cthulhu Hack Rejoice! 🙏

do you guys know about the jawbone of St Anthony

You're Richard Eggerley, sentenced to pressing for your pact with the Orbus Tertius (herbology) and trifling in the heresies of the Problemata (construction) while in gainful employ, in Ipswich, as a Clerk of the Temple (grappling). Favoured with influence to Overlook.

It feels like an age since twenty hardy souls helped raise the first funds toward the original softcover of The Dee Sanction. Now, as I edit a new adventure, one of those folk who chose a feather trader by the name of Rupert Dalton has found a home in the Ossulstone Hundred. #DeeSanction #TTRPG

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...

Dungeon Corridor in Procreate. Playing with colour and tone.

I finally got around to grabbing the RPG to join the Tech Ops Manual received a couple of Christmases ago! 😄 I'm looking forward to digging in—aware that reviews have been hither and thither. #Space1999 #2d20 #TTRPG @modiphius.bsky.social #MoonbaseAlpha

There's a positive aspect to the six monthly dental appointment—crossing the road to the Oxfam to check out the books. Score! A couple of Wallanders that I hadn't picked up yet, plus Old Manchester Tales, with this delightfully titles final chapter. #TheDeeSanction #CörkBord #NordicNoir #BookSky

My money is on the School of Night being behind it. Desperate times, desperate measures... If they can pin some fragment of the plot on Dee and his minions, all the better to bring the old man down. #TheDeeSanction

THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND! #ttrpg #paranoia

Cthulhu Hack: Conditions offers an expanded look at and a non-definitive list of conditions that investigators may experience in the line of duty. #CthulhuHack #TTRPG www.cthulhuhack.com

As Tunnels extend into darkness, lurking Trolls demand to test your courage and resolve. Prepare for a new take on a classic ruleset. #TunnelsAndTrolls #ANewAge bit.ly/4kT3UaM

In the process of updating the website for Cthulhu Hack. The old site didn't link to all the PDFs, and some of the Print links were outdated. I'm not expecting to get everything updated all at once. It'll take a moment. #CthulhuHack @drivethrurpg.com @allrolledup.bsky.social www.cthulhuhack.com

So loss making OpenAI is now begging for US government money to finance its research based on unproven promises of riches to follow at some unspecified date. Is anyone else recalling renaissance alchemists persuading rich patrons to support them because they'd be turning lead into gold any day now?

Like a late-night Radio 2 DJ playing easy listening classics between bursts of insightful chat, First Age presents some thoughts on what makes a good (convention) GM. Worthy of a listen, although I disagree on the importance of tabletop bling 😂 #TTRPG creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

You're Fortune Beresford, sentenced to flaying for your pact with the Brothers of the Rose (concealment) and dabbling in the heresies of the Liber Salomonis (detect lies) while in thankless employ, in King's Lynn, as a Doctor (anatomy). Favoured with influence over Whispers.

Memories served up in imagery: running a game of Cthulhu Hack in the lower floor of Heffers in Cambridge, back in 2018. I'm reasonably certain I'd be running Save Innsmouth. We were also there to check out the shop's collection of All Rolled Up game rolls. #Bookshop #CthulhuHack #TTRPG #DiceBag

Well, @richardcoles.bsky.social debuted his Faroese jumper on the 1505 to London this afternoon. It was knitted by the same lady who knitted Sarah Lund’s jumper on The Killing. Alas, Richard hasn't Skeeted for 11 months, so I'll post on his behalf. Big time jumper envy 😍 #CörkBord #Knitwear

To any folk that fit these categories who follow me, there's Gallows Corner to consider. Fourteenth-century game goodness for the WIN! The @threesailsstudios.bsky.social team seeks coverage and I'm keen to spotlight this glimpse into history for your tabletop. #Historical #TTRPG

Last week was an odd one, with ups and downs that have prompted me to reflect on where it all began—this gaming life. But also, how do you go about starting the business of running games yourself? Food for thought suitable for a Substack article. #TTRPG #Substack open.substack.com/pub/paulbald...

It's Halloween 🎃 but the pumpkin carving has been left terribly—horrifyingly—late. We have a cat and... Well, it's either a self-portrait or Alan Carr. I'm not sure which 👻 #Halloween #PumpkinCarving #Crafting

Pioneer brings the Traveller system near contemporary, setting characters as astronauts on the stage of near-future space exploration. I have no clear idea what attracts my attention, but I've backed it and I'm buckled in the countdown. Fulfilment in 5... 4... www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

I'm happy with "peculiar." Valkyrie-9 is one of those ideas that sprang from a single thought, possibly while reading Lovecraft's commonplace notes. I've ran it many times because it's fun, especially when the revelation strikes. #CthulhuMythos #SciFi #RPG www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

Nocturnal Rites provides jumpstart rules and a short and heavily notated adventure to guide you into the world of Cthulhu Hack. It's a really strong guide for anyone who doesn't quite get Resource checks and breaks—rolling after revelations, not to find them. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/1...

I ran some Cthulhu Hack last night! It was fun! Here's what the players did, mainly as a reminder for them when the next session rolls around on Sunday and they've forgotten everything: kelvingreen.blogspot.com/2025/10/cthu...

That day, three years ago, when I struggled to get close to that famed picture of Doctor John Dee, advisor, alchemist and angel-chaser to Queen Elizabeth Tudor. #AshmoleanMuseum #Art #Portrait

I love @kholbatar.bsky.social art, so wanted to continue the flow of reposting, even though what I create is... I'll say "unskilled" in comparison 😂 I have my moments. Reskeet with yours.

Waterstones, on Deansgate, has been good enough to furnish me with new reading of an apposite nature for #DeeSanction research, while simultaneously being heavily unfurnished due to a massive refit. @waterstones.bsky.social #Books #UnderConstruction @booksky.club

Is it just me that wastes perfectly good creative bandwidth redesigning other people's RPG covers because my mind can't not get distracted with pointless tasks? Yes, no one asked. Yes, it will sit on my hard drive until I delete it. Yes, it's pretty much a waste of time. You're welcome. #ADHD #art

S&K Volume 5 is all about Trophy! The cover that @jesseross.com made for us is SICK. Everything is edited except one last incursion, layout is 78% done, and our copy editor @rebeccahall15.bsky.social is having an amazing honeymoon but will power through when she is back (she's great!) I'm excited!

Not been a day of tremendous progress, but our intro adventure for MORK ORG has a title page now...

Buried Dreams was a runner-up in the recent Dee Sanction adventure writing competition. The quality across the entries was great—so tough to choose winning entries. Dreams has a fascinating premise, a solid timeline, and it digs beneath London's skin. Buy it! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...
