Another informative and entertaining video, in which the sisters talk bobbins 🤭. Love it, thank you. 🙏🏻❤️

Avanti is the Evri of rail services.

Proud to be the 25th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland - ENNIES EMPORIUM! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

Interesting, charming, funny and irreverent. The perfect tonic on a Monday morning. 😊

Just arrived, huzzah! Looking forward to diving in. 😊❤️. @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social

ICYMI! Shop update!

“Despite our best efforts at containment, the organism in Test Tank 3 seems to be growing exponentially. Recommend sealing off the area until an extermination solution is found.” #HotWar #HandiworkGames

Back to Sandheart this evening. Storm season looms, promising some time spent close to home for the Militia, or at least so they hope. With one eye on Sacred Time, can our heroes enjoy a quiet few weeks? Where would be the fun in that? 🤭

Why is Russia hunting a 64-year-old crime boss? I'll be recording BRATVA, a regular series of vlogs on Russian/Eurasian organised crime for the Global Initiaitive. The 1st is on how one case highlights the stresses in the Russian underworld + the authorities' concerns youtu.be/QTFpzizuxpQ

Enormously late to the party, I started watching Fringe last night. Seen the pilot and first regular episode thus far. I'm liking what I see. 😊

Three days travelling back and forth on Northern Rail has been a suboptimal experience, this week. I'm very happy to be working from home for the next two days.

“Twelve large cylinders, thought to be growth chambers, discovered in Area Four. Only cylinder number two contained a specimen suitable for study.” #ColdCity #HandiworkGames

Finished a full read-through of this magnificent bastard. Now I can't decide if I'm more or less equipped to run it! 😂🤭

Happy #WorldHumanistDay, everyone! Today is the perfect day to learn more about humanism, humanists, and what it's all about. You may find out that you've long been a humanist without realising there was a term – and global community – attached to your values.

Sadly, the paperback isn't out until August, but given that the FT considered HOMO CRIMINALIS "the readable, scary, fun beach read of new crime literature", why not give the hardback, ebook or audio editions a punt? It's got pirates, crypto, cocoa bean counterfeiters, narcosubmarines and more...

I'm put together this graphic to help people co-GM The Cthulhu Conspiracy. But it's pretty much how I GM games, honestly.

I've got a Regency Cthulhu scenario with the editor for the red pen treatment, but in the meantime fans of hot, action-based Mythos shenanigans should check out Burning Desire! A modern day pacey scenario. (Great for Delta Green, Mulder and Scully style!) legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/4630...

One from the vaults! Between 1983 and 1985 John Blanche did all the art from the entire Steve Jackson Sorcery! series, providing covers and hundreds of interior illustrations for this four book Fighting Fantasy campaign!

There is some good in this world, Mr Frodo.

Nap Comix #407 Thank you everyone who came to see me at TCAF! I had such a great time and it was totally worth the jet-lag I'm now struggling through, haha! Read all the Nap Comix episodes for free: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/na... Buy the Nap Comix book: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Flim... #NapComix

Good session of Runequest last night. A sort of mini dungeon crawl with no monsters or traps, so that was a first 😊. Some player-led exploration of local lore and discovery of questions for which answers may be sought. Six sessions in and no combat thus far. We're having fun 🥳.

Over on the @handiworkgames.bsky.social blog, I am musing about running Hot War at conventions, in light of last weekend's Rolling in the Ruins organised and hosted by @breakfastruins.bsky.social

This summer we’ve been chatting with @myfanwytristram.bsky.social about making a fuss (protest and civil rights) as well as making comics and graphic novels about it. You can join us at @leedslitfest.bsky.social Saturday 6th June at 1pm

Hugely sad. We've lost John Blanche. It's hard to know where to begin. He set fire to a generation's imagination, and those fires show no sign of stopping burning. His work very much illuminated the darkness.

Exploding monkeys, death rays and a shoggoth in our Pulp Cthulhu game last night. I hope HPL is spinning in his grave 🤭🤣.

I have a big announcement: I'm leaving my corpo job to work full time on TTRPGs. A scary step but one I think will be worth it. So, from August I'm available to hire as a writer, editor, or marketing consultant (15 years in marketing). Here's how you can help...

Me showing up to my new job tomorrow. Probably.

Another excellent day at UKGE, yesterday. I love the opportunity to meet some of the ace people who have designed games I love, and to thank them for doing so. @irny.bsky.social @handiworkgames.bsky.social @effektpodcast.org @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social Also a good opportunity for some shopping. 😊

Oh and while we have your attention, our game, Tales of the Old West, won the judges award for best Roleplaying game this year❤️. May we please, humbly, ask you to consider voting for us in the RPG category when the People’s choice goes live?

Tomorrow is my last day in DWP after 32 years. I'll be celebrating by going to UKGE on Friday 😊🥳.

And of course, if you're not at Expo, you can still sign up to the campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/han... #ttrpg

This Saturday at 3pm at UK Games Expo, we're honoured to be hosting an informal meet and greet with Tyrant Philosophers author Adrian Tchaikovsky, @aptshadow.bsky.social. Come and hear the latest on our upcoming RPG and novels from the source! It's just a 30min thing, so don't be late. #ukge

Altogether now..... Oh it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you.

Another session of Sandheart: Life on the Street, this evening. Will the requirements of quiet, subtle investigation finally cause our heroes to snap and initiate a bloodbath/arson attack/political assassination/mass poisoning? I can't wait to find out 🤭.

#threads really was an outsize influence on Hot War, it really was. Also The War Game from 1965, which while not quite as visceral is still chilling.

I don't need another RPG.......oh, damn. 😊

Same price for Romance of the Perilous Land. A perfect time to jump in if you've been curious ospreypress.com/romance-of-t...

I live-tweeted the #RuneQuest: Roleplaying in #Glorantha panel at Chaosium Con UK to Facebook yesterday, and here it all is on BRP Central for people who wisely steer clear of Zuckerberg’s panopticon. basicroleplaying.org/topic/26847-...

This was announced at MCM/comics Pro. For the 50th Anniversary of @2000ad.bsky.social the 2027 Annual will have 60 pages of new material, including a 20-page JUDGE DREDD story by me, RM Guera and Giuila Brusco. Cover by @jockbsky.bsky.social
