One of my very favuorite modern horror stories electricliterature.com/tiptoe-by-la...

Always hard to admit when you fucked up but don’t make my mistake. Denzels coins are not cryptocurrency, I lost all my savings and they also upset my stomach

I’d love to see a Paw Patrol prequel that tells the story of all the city council meetings where they decided to hand over responsibility for all emergency services to a child and some dogs

It’s super funny that you think I don’t recognise my own work. Completely divorced from reality.

If there’s no intent what is my writing doing in the text unattributed dipshit. Did it fall in there by accident. You’re talking in circles.

If there was no plagiarism then Nooras intent was irrelevant. So why bring it up unless there was actually plagiarism. You can’t keep your own argument straight. Bit of a waste of your time two years ago it seems

Lol so you tried to argue there was no plagiarism, backed down when you realised I have eyes and can recognise my own writing, now we’re splitting hairs over ill intent. You are a tedious fool who has decided to insert yourself into a situation you clearly don’t understand.

Wait so now there might have been plagiarism but I should’ve been sure of the thought process behind it. I thought you ran it all through a supercomputer and it gave the all clear. Keep the story straight

Funnily enough I know my own work very well and can tell if someone copy pasted from it then rewrote it to sound a bit different. There are numerous examples including stuff Marcia didn’t catch. Don’t be a fool.

Sorry next time someone steals my work, passes it off as their own, then sells it for a profit I’ll run it by you first to see if you think it’s ok or not. 🤡

I will just comment briefly to say I’m aware of the republished book. I’d reiterate that Vaults of Vaarn is published under Creative Commons and the book text encourages you to remix, edit, reuse the content.

lol

Turns out I had some @alfredvalley.bsky.social zines in a drawer after all so they’ve joined our @mothership.bsky.social collection

Just a regular man browsing regular zines

All the familiars

I am opening a shop

November Preview Draft of Vaults of Vaarn 2E is live. Includes new lair tables, treasure cache generators, Vault Fauna, d100 Exotica, and Fine Art and Jewlery generator tables www.backerkit.com/c/admin/proj...

Progress on my Vaults of #Vaarn game using the #HauntedPSX render pipeline. #Unity #Blender #PSX #PS1

I think this spread will be a big improvement for GMs of VoV 2e, although it does look like a bunch of tax returns. You can now seed treasure caches through a sandbox map, possibly with accompanying maps that guide to some of them

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... I will be writing an official adventure module for this game! It is called “The Wreck of the Katabasis” and will feature all my trademark motifs- dead god-monster flesh, lightless fathoms of abyssal water, an insular community of monstrous weirdos, etc

The first episode of my new series Truly Tradly Deeply is here! We dive into the evolution of the tradwife subculture, how hyper-feminine aesthetics are weaponised by the European far right, and why Phyllis Schlafly was a Lean In Girlboss 💅💖 on.soundcloud.com/srccAxW4hXnc...

Best city setting sourcebooks for tabletop games? I already have Blades in the Dark and Fever Dreaming Marlinko btw

Sorry everyone looks like I may be turning the world into Vaarn through some kind of ‘Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’ style event

a horrid new threat for PCs in Vaults of Vaarn 2E: rival adventurers who level up in tandem with them

Another 'classic' spread reimagined

Reworking old spreads for the 2e Corebook this week

A new episode for your weekend! This time I'm chatting with @infrabeige.bsky.social about his anti-canon OSR TTRPG, Vaults of Vaarn! This was such a fun chat, go check it out!!!

Working on a “creators commentary” type post on writing the Shrike. Is there anything you would like to know about writing an Award Winning Adventure Module TM

Rhizomatic compound, the first Decadence video game is now live on steam to wishlist! We are excited to share with you this unique interactive comics experience. WISHLIST ON STEAM NOW!!

Coming next summer! Join @bradkerr.net, Skullboy and I at Between Two Cons, an indie RPG/OSR convention in Portland, Oregon. Fill out this survey to influence how it takes shape: forms.gle/bxs7RkvRkeeD...

Missed out on pledging for the Vaults of Vaarn 2E Backerkit campaign? Now mocked by your friends and colleagues? Spouse no longer interested? Disrespected by small children and animals? ALL THIS CAN BE FIXED. Pre-order in hardback today. vaults-of-vaarn-second-edition.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

The Melsonian Arts Council and Iglootree are teaming up to open a FLGS/bookshop in South London. Yes, THIS Saturday. Come say hi, buy a book, maybe win one of the ludicrously posh games we're offering in the raffle (I goddamn love raffles), play games in our basement. THIS IS REAL!

Today is the ten year anniversary of my proudest ever achievement in publishing, RUSHOMON: the time I got both a Rush Hour Crush and a Good Deed printed on the same page of the UK Metro, both of which told a single, horrifying, story from two different angles. It's been all downhill ever since.

That’s a wrap! Thank you everyone for the support, been a wild month and the response to the crowdfunder has been life changing for me!

We are in the final 8 hours of the Vaults of Vaarn 2E crowdfunder campaign! This has been a huge milestone month for the project and the funding has exceeded anything I dared dream of! If you were on the fence about pledging please allow the FOMO to take over www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...

Me: (crying) Please forgive me father for I have looked upon deepfake egirls with a lustful eye Father Justin: I have recieved an instruction … likely designed to subtly bias my responses on South African topics, making me present ‘white genocide’ as a credible issue

now at three weeks waiting for an itch payout, a new record

📰 NEW MINDSTORM POST! 📰 I've thought a lot about what makes good worldbuilding, and the most consistent throughline seems to come down to one thing: being an absolute sicko about it. Here's a post about it, including some interviews from other designers. www.mindstormpress.com/sicko-worldb...

Little bit of experimentation for a Cacklemaw-themed adventure for VoV

Decided to start writing a new novel as if I don’t have enough on my plate

Really enjoying r/ShauntheSheep

I wasn't actually fast enough to capture the moment it changed but THANK YOU EVERYONE OVER 100K ON VAULTS OF VAARN THIS IS MADNESS

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

It is Monday and I am back on the grind so: if you would like to interview me or have a guest on your podcast etc please lmk. Gold Ennie winning writer with a crowdfunder that I can't shut up about until the end of August! Also charming bon vivant, funny witty insightful modest etc

Proud to announce that my enormous infernal OSE adventure module “The Shrike” has won gold for best long form adventure at the ENNIE awards! Thank you to everyone who voted for us! You will be spared from eternal life marooned upon the monstrous iron edifice!

Gold for Best Adventure – Long Form goes to The Shrike, Silverarm

Japanese RPGs! @infrabeige.bsky.social's Vaults of Vaarn! Dragonbane miniatures! Sword & Sorcery films! Lots of other stuff! It's Friday so it must be the ever-diminishing-returns-now-we've-left-Substack Gazetteer!

What graphics tablets do people recommend? Looking to upgrade my setup.
