So proud of my boys The Twilight Sad on their release day ❤️✊🏼🙌🏼

It is. It really, really is. A superb marriage of rules and setting. There's no other game quite like it. Buy it. Buy it now.

Cold City and Hot War Slipcase is almost here. It's been a joy to bring these games back in 2026, in their updated form, with new structures for play which echo the first edition but bring decades of additional experience from author @malcolmcraig.bsky.social to bear. handiwork.games/cold-city-ho...

I am so excited to get the re-imagined versions of both games in my hands! It's been great to revise them with the @handiworkgames.bsky.social crew.

What’s it like working with your sister? When you have a whole life time of ‘history’ with your colleague you know one another almost too well…

IT'S MINE AT LAST!!!! AT LAAAAAAST!!!!

"We barricaded the door as tightly as we could, but they started tearing through the wall. We fought to choke back our screams and remain silent. Our only way out was through the window, but Kate was badly injured when we jumped." #HotWar #Handiworkgames

Massive interview with @pauljholden.com on the 2000 AD site today, conducted by the Rt. Hon @richardbruton.bsky.social

Looking forward to running some Runequest tonight. Can the Sandheart Militia broker peace between two feuding steads? Will the fumbled Insight roll from last session influence their decisions? I do hope so 🤭.

"Partial human remains discovered in Building 4. The body appears to have been impaled against the wall after death. Unusual decomposition patterns warrant additional investigation." #HotWar #Handiworkgames

Nap Comix #385 I feel like I might piss off some folk with this one. It's a good show! We love it! Although we probably should shush so that Henry can watch it in peace. ? Read all the Nap Comix episodes for free on Webtoon: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/na... #NapComix

Just watched I Swear on Netflix. Brilliantly acted, heartwarming, uplifting and upsetting in equal measure.

A sport story I can get behind. Brilliant result for these women 😊❤️👏🏻👏🏻. Source: The Guardian search.app/dBw51

Ken and Robin talk the rules don't matter theory, lying maps, 30s NYC book thieves, and miracles attributed to Pythagoras.

This is a delightful explainer video by Jonstown Compendium creator Diana Probst. Learn in four minutes the most famous myth in the epic world of Glorantha (setting for the RuneQuest #TTRPG) – the story of how the world died and lived again. youtu.be/BE9hIP5tdNM?...

All things being even, I'd rather be gaming right now. No session this week due to the unavailability of two people. Looking forward to session 2 of our new Runequest campaign next week, and continuing with Dragonbane the week after. Filling the void by reading 13th Age, which looks brilliant.

I'm a special guest at Thought Bubble again this year! Yay! I actually have a few events this year that I'm very excited about. I've popped them all in a list here: www.rachaelsmith.org/events

Until last night I'd not enjoyed the rules for Dragonbane, to the point that it was interfering with my enthusiasm for the game. I've been yearning for more game. The threat of a TPK encouraged me to engage more with the mechanics of combat and appreciate the variety of tactics that are available.

It will be delightful to see these in print. Glasshouse was my first go at writing an RPG 'scenario' in decades, and I was delighted with the way it turned out. So if you fancy a double bill of dark goings on in space and equally dark (and fungal) goings on under 1990s London, then this is for you!

Please don’t heckle us! But do come to @hayfestival.bsky.social and find out the power of comics and graphic novels to make change!

Today is International Women's Day—a fitting date to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Hawkmoon roleplaying game and its lead designer, RPG trailblazer Kerie Campbell-Robson. In 1986, 20 year old Kerie was one of the very first female lead designers in the industry. #IWD2026

Two of the best RPGs ever, be good to yourself and pick them up. 😊👍🏻

FiveEvil takes the underlying basics of fifth edition, skins them, guts them, turns them inside out and sews it all back together on a really solid skeleton of solid iron. FiveEvil delivers horror roleplaying to your table, using the system you know so well against you.

The final KS update for TERMINUS! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... Contents: the project is finished, thanks for the support, what's I'm doing next, and... TERMINUS has an ambient soundtrack!

Quite right, too. A cracking book. 😊👏🏻❤️

Apropos of nothing, I've decided to offer free UK shipping on orders over £20 on the Patchwork Fez Games web shop! If you fancy a horrible game, or some lovely artwork relating to a horrible game, pop over to shop.patchworkfez.games

We returned to Glorantha this week for our first campaign there in over 20 years, and it was deeply joyous. Griffin Mountain was the last campaign I ran with RQ2, and we had tons of fun with that. This time we're in Sun County playing Tales of the Sandheart Militia with RQG. @chaosium.bsky.social

A masterpiece of a game 😊❤️.

From The Twilight Sad: Our new album ‘IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE’ is out on @rockactionrecords.scot on Friday 27th March. Pre-order your copy now at thetwilightsad.com ⚡️

Out from 2000AD this week is a new volume of Brink by Dan Abnett and I.N.J. Culbard. We love how it so quietly deals with the earth-shattering, and it's the best volume to date. @2000ad.bsky.social theslingsandarrows.com/brink-book-s...

The only character sheet we ever really needed 😊🤭❤️.

Good to see our stray cat Guinevere setting in well and our rescue bull Angus matured & now has a name of Billy @carolineartist.bsky.social

Lo, 'tis THE DUNGEON BOOK cover! The Jungle Book meets Dungeons and Dragons with a dash of Pan's Labyrinth in this gleefully fun standalone fantasy narrated by a sentient skull, in which a small girl is thrown to a dungeon full of monsters, who decide to raise her rather than eat her. 11th August!

An absolute steal at this price. I may pick up a spare copy! 🤭

I think this remains my favourite video we have made for a crowdfunding campaign.
