So far I've written 222 open-ended prompts for Asher's Ridge. I have 36 more to go. 36 prompts and 9 supporting role mini-bios, and then it is complete and ready for editing. (I was only going to do 52 prompts originally 💀)

My Zinequest project is live! In Small Folk in Big Coats you each play as a little guy in a stack masquerading a single big guy. You're unlikely to get caught, but you’re even less likely to work together. It’s very silly and easy to get playing. Go Check it out! tinyurl.com/sfibc

Its finally live: I am so enchanted by this game's art and description It sounds whimsical and fun and quick and great for a variety of player experiences. Go check it out during #zinemonth

Currently working on an ornate bookplate and cover border commissions so have this fitting throwback to an ex-libris illustration for @montfordtales.com ✨

Oh my goodness my inbox has exploded with so many zinequest launches 🤣 Good luck everyone!

Toe Beans is live 🙌 @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social always have my support :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/fis...

A close look at the enchanted forest map for the upcoming Perils & Princesses TTRPG adventure “The Princess & The Dragon.” I love taking a simple point crawl and injecting it with atmosphere and style. Dropping an evocative world map on the table really entices players to explore.

Excuse me, but this sounds brilliant and I want to play it 🐺

On Call, the werewolf Dispatching game, launches on Backerkit in TWO hours. Go follow the teaser page NOW so you can get a free game HuntRPG and it's upgraded version when I make it! bit.ly/OnCallBacker... #dispatch #werewolf #zinemonth #backerkit #ttrpg

Today in art class I painted a pig in a blanket 🐖

I'm planning an update to the layout and prompts of my solo journalling game, Creation Myths ✨ However, I told myself I'd only do it once it achieves Copper over on DriveThruRPG. Well I just checked and it's really close! Its also 67% off right now, so... 😉😉 www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

This is what old print proofs are for, right? When the glue has dried, these mixed up pages of my games will get painted over and we'll see if this is something I love or hate. 😅

I can not wait to play A Fool’s Errand again. Our band of fools have their work cut out trying to stop the constellations vanishing as the stars wink out! I highly recommend trying this game for yourself! @planetarcanapod.bsky.social

Commissions are open and I’m looking for work again! I’ve mainly worked as an illustrator on TTRPG projects like Mad as Hell and Grimwild and also as an Art Director for A Thousand Rats Devor A City. I’m open for any kind of visual work, may it be commercial or private!

"Don't you dare share this on the internet, human" 🙀 Our puss is looking very stylish at the moment in a leopard print onesie and a floofy cone of shame. The poor guy had a bad skin reaction to his arthritis meds (but he will be fine. Just a little indignity.)

I forgot to share my Wednesday art class painting: Yesterday was a time challenge. An A2ish still life painting, made at arms length, all in 30 minutes.

Putting out the call officially for #ZineQuest 2026! Do you have a cool game? Do you want to talk about it? Know any cool games, even if you're not making one? Reach out and let's chat!

Some stories are difficult not just because of the effort it takes to tell them, but because of the subject matter. This story is both. Seven months, six Rascals, five creators, and a dozen drafts, revisions, and versions later... We have a story that is necessary, heartbreaking, and important.

Honor your agreements—pay your freelancers. If you’re in a tight spot financially, or other parties cause money problems so that you’re suddenly low on funds, that’s unfortunately completely irrelevant. The freelancers don’t need to care about that. Pay them.

The snowdrops are blooming in the woods here, so I thought I'd share :)

This is such a generous offer! If you know someone who could really benefit from it, please send it their way! (or maybe it's you??)

It's been a year since I started going to my local art school for painting classes. Here's my (in class) progress (I'm still pretty proud of how the teapot turned out.) I was just developing a sense of colour and how to handle the paint back then. Now I feel miles more confident.

A little Friday onion 🧅

Wednesday art class time: painting on cardboard in complementary colours. How it started -> how it middled -> how it ended -> what our cat thinks.

I've moved on from "AAAAA" and now I'm amusing myself with "EEEEE" These are my most recent cherry with walnut inlay tests with one coat of hard wax oil slowly drying on them -- noting that I really should align the tile & letter wood grain next time, and they'll get at least two coats of oil.

😭💖🙏🔥95%!!!!!!🔥🙏💖😭 THANKYOU ALL SO MUCH! We're so close to getting the amount for him to sit the minimum to get to college!🔥🙏🥳Any extra we raise will hopefully be enough for him to sit more of the subjects he's studied! itch.io/b/3469/path-...

Today I've been practising (improving) my wood marquetry skills. For humour value, and because it's a silly fiddly letter, I've been using "A", so I'm looking at a piece of wood that says "AAAAAAAAAAAAA" and giggling to myself. (I may be the only person who finds this funny 🤷‍♀️)

Try different disciplines. If you’re a painter, try sculpting. If you’re a potter, try watercolor. Trying different art forms will open up pathways in your brain and improve your skills in ways you won’t expect. My illustrations got better after I started digitally sculpting.

Art classes are back on - so here's the results of today's "be expressive with charcoal" challenge. I hate charcoal so much. The feel of it in my fingers. The sound of it on paper. Blurgh. But... I hate it a bit less after today.

OK, have at it. This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of games I want to play this year. I think it's a fun list! youtu.be/1mi7YiRJSWg

Watching with interest. Have just learned of ASHER'S RIDGE a GMless game about paranormal tales in the Lake District that involves Scrabble tiles. You had my attention with Stewpot but now you have my attention...

Featuring games by: @noroadhome.itch.io @momatoes.com @montfordtales.com @annablackwell.bsky.social @hinokodo.com @acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social @lamemage.com @jmstar.bsky.social @youngking45.bsky.social @evilhat.bsky.social And others I couldn't find on BSky!

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

Left: The view I was treated to of the Pyrenees on our way home from a trip recently. Right: Good old trusty cloudy England 😂 It's not always cloudy here, but it did give me a laugh :)

Been cooking up some tasty knights and dragons sauce. Big stuff coming soon. 🐲👑

I've been AFK from Bsky because I am, again, sniffling, sneezing, and generally having a very cold-filled December. 😅 However, I am still here and still working on Asher's Ridge and other than an excessively tickly nose all is well. :) Belated holiday & New Year greetings to you all!

New video is live! In this one I play the Dead Letter Society 🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️ youtu.be/VJcHVmNMdqA?... @montfordtales.com

Do you like vampires, werewolves, and games? (Oh my!) My online shop will be closed from Dec 18th (noon, UK) to Jan 6th. So be quick if you'd like a fun 1-2 player letter writing RPG to while away the long dark nights this Christmas & New Year. 🧛🐺💌 shop.montfordtales.com

Figuring out where the darks are for some location card artwork for Asher's Ridge. This is acrylic, oils will come next :) (I'm also sick and noticing just how wibbly my hand is as I paint 🫣)

This week's video is a solo play through of The Dead Letter Society! @montfordtales.com
