Yesterday I thought "let's do more dominant and non-dominant had drawing practice and throw in some writing for good measure." Today I moved some furniture and messed up my left hand ring finger. The irony of hurting my off-hand as I start relying on it for this little project is not lost on me 🤦‍♀️

Dragonmeet is coming, and I will be there 🙌 Come say hi while I play Tetris fitting things onto my table!

Time for another press release tip! Please just write it as dry as possible outside of quotes. It's incredibly fun seeing it written like you're weaving some epic tales but I can't use that tone for a news item.

It's project time at my Wednesday art class. The theme is "connections." I really love continuous line drawing, so here's my left hand drawn & coloured by my right hand, and my right hand drawn & coloured by my left. We'll see how my off-hand pen control improves next week! 😅

📣MuppetMeet 2025 Announcement! Join us and a host of fantastic guest speakers on the evening before Dragonmeet (Friday 28th Nov) for an evening of #TTRPG industry networking and knowledge sharing. Be sure to grab your FREE tickets here: dragonmeet.co.uk/tickets 👇Read more about what's on 👇

AND WE'RE LIVE. ROLL GOTHICA WEBSITE HAS JUST DROPPED. Our brand spankin new site is now live for your perusal!!! We will share more little updates on what's new over the next few days - but you can go find it all now 👀

24hrs left to take advantage of this :) Then the autumn half term will be basically over and I'll be back to working on art and games and maybe even posting a bit more! 🎨

This is correct but also 10x more relevant for sponsored content. If you are taking money and only using it to pay white people, do better. If you are GIVING money to a channel without stipulating some basic diversity in the end product, shame on you for the harm you are doing the TTRPG scene.

New fascination unlocked: Yesterday I bought a (small) kalimba. It is the most beautiful sound and my new favourite thing to fidget with while I think at my desk.

A perfect cat loaf 🍞

People who follow me because you like pictures of my (utterly cute) cat... You're going to be so disappointed to learn I usually want to talk about tabletop roleplaying games 🤣 (On the other hand, tabletop games are fun and more folks should give them a try!)

Like a silly goose I absolutely forgot to tell y'all that I worked with Wizards of the Coast??? I wrote Scream of the Crop and Ballad of the Rat King for the new Welcome to the Hellfire Club box set!

Huge thank you to Sydney Web Fest for awarding us Best Original Score for The Network Defenders!!! This is our first win for music in our series which is deeply important to us, so this one means a lot ❤️

I do love having such a snoozy writing buddy, no matter where I am in the house.

We're still looking for followers on this awesome adventure/multi media project. We'd love to hit 50 before launch! Especially since I want to buy more art and pay for voice acting from the super talented @meghancaves.bsky.social !

Hey look at this mfer - all this soft yellow? That's just the natural colour of the paper we'll be printing on!! Going live next week 🫡

Here's part 1 of The Awards Debrief 2025 for anyone who missed it yesterday. bsky.app/profile/expl...

Alright, the first in-depth article of my awards debrief is live. "How do the Ennies work?" A top-down look at my judging experience from A to Z. Please share, leave comments, and ask questions. And don't forget to read part 1 if you haven't already. www.explorersdesign.com/ennies-2/

SPINE’s clock started as the Hangman game, whose gallows are a clock for the grisly word game. But it has an unsavory past. Instead of gallows, an empty portrait is your clock. You slowly appear in the book as you're absorbed by it. And every tick of the clock is a chance to depict your character.

There's 48 hours (ish) left on the Ex Tenebris Kickstarter - if you're on the fence and have questions, now's the time to ask them! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

If you have a podcast or newsletter about solo ttrpgs or otherwise, I’d love to chat about SPINE as well as some of the design questions that led to the game: How do we play with books in ttrpgs? How do we talk about ttrpg books and why does it matter? How is reading part of or a form of play?

A study using a Zorn palette. (Four colours only: pure red, yellow ochre, black, white.)

NEW (FREE) GAME FORTHCOMING: SPINE is a dark solo ttrpg about losing yourself in a book. In SPINE, you are a researcher who has inherited a strange book from an estranged relative…

I'm about to get loud about this project for the next four weeks, and I apologize. If you're willing to lend a hand, a simple RT or QRT of the original post would help me spread the word.

There are now two awesome adventure supplements for Street Wolves now. A full campaign and collected adventures. Hours and hours worth of fun and inspiration for your table. Buy them at my store and get complementary copies on Drive Thru RPG! tablecatgames.com/shop/

Just one line. Today's art class: A walk around the local churchyard with a pen and green watercolour. One line only, minimal looking at the page, from start to finish :)

My writing is being supervised this morning. He is the best cat, and I shall not be convinced otherwise.

I've still not gotten through my email backlog 😭 Oh Monday. You are so very Monday today.

The new and improved TTRPG section in my store

Friday art class time: more apples (and quince) I tried painting on an aluminium panel for the first time which was... interesting! (See next post for a shiny-ish video)

We are in the final stretch. Get yourself the gift of weird magic. www.kickstarter.com/projects/los...

This post (and the one after) is the last list I made for someone asking about solo journaling games. I'd also add @montfordtales.com stuff like The Almanac of Sanguine Paths & Dead Letter Society. Both have solo modes but are duets (which means you could play with @zoandbehold.bsky.social 🥹)
