Hello! This gig has gone live for a Narrative Designer at Rebellion. A good part of it is implementation rather than writing, but there's some of that, too. Also, HUGE BONUS, you get to be on the same team as me! Hey, where are you going? apply.workable.com/rebellion/j/...

Finished Cairn last night. What a game - and what a great ending. Wow.

Congratulations to Jessie Buckley on her Golden Globe win last night for her role in Hamnet! Jessie slayed as Kate in The Devil in Me in 2022, and has been killing it ever since! We're sure a restful hotel stay will be well needed after that win 😜 #JessieBuckley #GoldenGlobes #TheDevilinMe

18 hours left to Draw Steel and Crack the Sun! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

High point of my holidays so far has been playing through Split Fiction with my daughter. The variety is off the charts, just a perfect love letter to gaming.

Merry Christmas all! It’s been an interesting year for me - worked really hard on Directive 8020 for Supermassive (due out next year), jumped back in the saddle on a bunch of D&D projects (most also coming next year), read a load of books, played some great games. Here’s a quick roundup.

I love 4E - it's the edition I cut my teeth on as a writer for D&D. So no surprise, I also love DRAW STEEL, which feels like a spiritual successor to 4E, except with an adamantine skeleton hammered out in a heavy metal forge. So I'm VERY happy to be a part of this: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

My long-running work Tomb of Annihilation campaign finally suffered its first character death tonight. Belchorzh the Unseen claims another victim.

I am Dragonmeeting this afternoon!

A day of ghoulish fun with the Arkham Horror card game followed by orchestral horror movie soundtracks performed by candlelight…

After few weeks of blitzing short things - novellas, short games, comics - I am now diving into this monster. It’s so big I feel faintly ridiculous getting it out of my bag on the bus.

Alone, together. #Directive8020

I love the brevity of description in the new D&D starter set. Locations and NPCs are pared down to the bare minimum, without turning things into an ugly list of bullet points. I think we could all learn a lesson from this!

We’re down to the last day! Get your pledges in now, me hearties!

I'm going to be trying out the Draw Steel RPG next month with my old 4E group. They never really clicked with 5E, so I'm hoping this game will be more up their street.

First contact at Gamescom: unsettling...unforgettable. #Directive8020

Three titles that I contributed to are available in this Humble RPG Bundle: Durnan's Guild to Tavernkeeping, Lost City of Mezro, and Xanathar's Lost Notes to Everything Else! www.humblebundle.com/books/dungeo...

Ten days left on this kickstarter and we're smashing through those juicy stretch goals! If you’re still on the fence about joining us, let me hit you with some reasons why I think it’s going to great...(cont) Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gho... Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BHE...

Finally watched Vivarium. I know it's a bit of a divisive horror movie, but my god it got under my skin. Kept waking up all through the night, thinking there were children running about my bedroom.

Lovely detailed unboxing of the new starter set here (it's in German but autotranslate works well). Great to see our maps in print, including the Keep on the Borderlands and Wilderness map posters. The set looks amazing overall, definitely going to run a mini campaign at work. youtu.be/Ub_xg2U4V2g

Excerpt from a book of English folklore I’m reading. Looks like powdered frog is the material component of a knock spell.

My first 3 #TTRPGbox sets: 1. Call of Cthulhu 2. Pendragon 3. Ghostbusters Took us a while to get to D&D! Feels like everything was in a box back then: sort of wish more games were now.

For Father’s Day this year my family got me an annual subscription to 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine and I have to say it’s brought me more happiness than I ever expected.

Thank ye dogs o' the Aetherial Expanse! You've unlocked Barrowheap, the plane that the lost things of the multiverse drain into! It's a pirate's dream... and who knows what else might be hiding there? kickstarter.com/projects/ghostfiregaming/aetherial-expanse-dreams-of-the-drowned-god

Our swashbuckling kickstarter is live! Go back now, ya landlubbers!

Over 20 years ago, I screwed up a pitch for the Aliens vs. Predator 2 game. Our concept was amazing: basically AVP meets the Abyss, with everything kicking off on a deepsea mining facility on Earth. These grumpy execs turned up from Fox and we pitched it to them from our crappy Croydon office...

I am a lot distracted at the moment, but I am feeling super duper grateful. DRAW STEEL is out now. drawsteel.com

I was delighted when @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social asked me to dream up an adventure for their Aetherial Expanse setting, and I couldn't be prouder of the salty buccaneers they've assembled for its creation! Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gho... Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BHE...

Stacey and I were lucky enough to provide maps for not one, but TWO D&D starter sets this year! This Stranger Things boxed set was a dream project to work on and we loved every minute of it: ew.com/stranger-thi...

Joe Abercrombie's latest is brilliantly funny, and is just the tonic if you're feeling stressed. Features delightful characters smashing the hell out of things.

Day 30 on Blue Prince and I'm still scratching the surface... even though each day has taken about 45 minutes.

Finally got around to playing Doom: The Dark Ages. I was a teenage Doom freak. The 2016 reboot was epic, but I wasn't sold on Doom Eternal. So far, Dark Ages is much more up my street. Loving getting back into circle strafing, and the feeling of power is on point. Good stuff.

Spent a great Father’s Day helping my daughter finish off Spider-Man Miles Morales on the PS5. Such a quality game!

Watched the Monkey. In a year that’s been pretty poor so far for horror, this was a welcome treat!

Last day of UKGE. The show is bigger than ever, an absolute colossus. The amount of new games on display was amazing, even a little overwhelming. I noticed a LOT more RPGs here than before, which feels great for the hobby.

My daughter went as a Ghostbuster to the UK Games Expo, and it didn’t take long for her to find some other team members!

Pilot Brianna Young is one of Corinth’s most promising talents. Driven, focused, and fiercely capable, she joins the mission to Tau Ceti f to honour her father’s legacy - and forge her own. She’s one of a kind. Well, used to be. Wishlist now: directive8020.com

Finished Expedition 33. Loved the flow of fast-paced, almost Soulslike combat patterns alternating with breathing spaces when you take your own turns. Story was pretty grand, but it was the music that made it chef kiss for me.

In the continuing adventures of “who can we romance in Tomb of Annihilation?”, one of my players just took the crown by romancing Ras Nsi, rotting cult leader of the yuan-ti.

One year off the booze. Well done me.

Sometimes I just sit back and think about how many characters have died in the Tomb of Annihilation. It makes me very happy.
