It's been a few weeks since I reminded folks that Violent Delights is in prelaunch on Kickstarter. It's a chess-based RPG about Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. I hope you'll give it a follow!

what if we put issue 8 of Wyrd Science on sale? What if this got more likes & shares than our stupid jokes? featuring Dolmenwood, Blades In The Dark, Doomsong, Kamping Kitbash, Lee Gold, The Old King's Crown, weird fiction, aggro comics, dungeon synth & lots more shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr...

In 16 hours, I'm closing late pledges on my Twin Peaks-inspired, surreal, paranormal drama television TTRPG. Do with that information what you will! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

If you can't afford a full Sensitivity Read for your novel / TTRPG but still want some guidance/ reassurance, I now offer a 1hr SR consultation for £50 where you can discuss anything you need guidance on for your book/game and I'll give you my professional advice plus reasonable follow up support.

It's after noon, so here's a bonus lo*cat*ion card for Asher's Ridge. Animals can behave really oddly in the area, and the local veterinary centre has to deal with it all. (Also, black cats don't get enough love, so this is for all the black cats out there :) )

In honour of the day, here's a risk card from the Asher's Ridge card deck.

It is done. Backers: Watch your inbox tonight for a backer-only update with a PDF link :) Non-backers: It's not too late to get a late-pledge discount. I'm closing late pledges on April 2nd. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

Military Base? Secret research centre? This absolutely does not exist according to anyone who knows anything in Asher's Ridge.

Added a preorder and a PDF option onto my own website for Skies Above. losthavenart.com/product/skie... #ttrpg

The population of Asher's Ridge is far too small to warrant its own morgue. Yet it has one. I'll let you all judge what that means. One more location card for Asher's Ridge: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

I think (!) this is the first time you'll be able to see Dead Letter Society and The Almanac of Sanguine Paths *together* on @ipr.bsky.social's booth at Pax East this weekend (booth 12109!) There will be *so many* indie games to browse: www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/PAX-Ea...

There's lots to see and find on the nature trail that loops around Brightwater Lake. Take a dog, then when something terrible happens it can run back to town without you. A location card for Asher's Ridge, a paranormal drama television #ttrpg: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon... #selfpromosaturday

Take some time out from the weirdness around you with coffee and a sweet treat at Brightwater Bakery, a new addition to the town of Asher's Ridge. This time it won't burn down. Probably. (Another location card for Asher's Ridge, a paranormal drama television TTRPG.)

Today's location for Asher's Ridge is of The Ridge and The Ridge Stone, presented two ways: (Left) the location card. (Right) painted in acrylics for the setting section title spread. I like them both! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

Everyone who says life drawing classes really help you improve your anatomy knowledge and general drawing skills are 100% correct. I am so proud of these knees! (I'm proud of the rest of it too, but I'll stick with just sharing the knees)

I almost forgot to post a card today! Here's the location card for the Ultimate Trails Campsite. Come for the cool outdoorsy vibe. Stay to solve a murder. (Wait, did I type that last bit out loud?) Asher's Ridge is a #TTRPG of paranormal drama television in the vein of Twin Peaks.

I am getting ever closer to sending Asher's Ridge to backers (PDF) and off to the printer. It has been (and continues to be) a labour of love -- I'm grateful for the support I've had from the community while I've worked so hard on this! Here's the opening spread for the supporting roles. :)

Jasper Jones runs this time capsule of a general store. He looks an awful lot like his father, and his father's father. 🤔 Then again, it's hardly the oddest thing in Asher's Ridge.

I think (!) this is the first time you'll be able to see Dead Letter Society and The Almanac of Sanguine Paths *together* on @ipr.bsky.social's booth at Pax East this weekend (booth 12109!) There will be *so many* indie games to browse: www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/PAX-Ea...

The library in Asher's Ridge has a surprisingly large collection of books on the occult, cults, and strange phenomena. 🤔 The Ridge Stitch Knitting Club also meets there on Monday nights, if that's more your jam. (KS late pledges are closing soon: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon... )

Excuse me, ladybird. Do you mind?

I've still got my head down, working hard on artwork for Asher's Ridge 👻 I am very happy with how the location deck art is coming along — backer's will get a first look at that in the update next week. :)

An Asher's Ridge art update! One more painting nearly complete (I'll let it dry, then think if I want to do more or not.) Left: the painting on my easel. Right: the same photo seen in a mockup up layout. I'll make less glare-y photos for the final, don't worry. :)

A pile of life drawing gesture poses. (I'll share a bunch of Asher's Ridge art soon, but for now: this.)

Friday art class time! I'm calling this week "daffodil inception" and painted a daffodil taped to the top of my easel (and painted over an older painting from this class) Oils on canvas board. WIP photos below 👇

I still have plenty of slots if you're looking! 💖

Wake up, Coop. The final* cover for Asher's Ridge just dropped. * 99.5% final, because I know me and I know I'll not be able to resist fiddling a bit more. Same recognisable cover, but not a sketch. :)

Alright. I have 2.5 hours. Let's see what I can do. (You can just about see what I'm painting in the background here.)

I have editing and sensitivity reading slots available again now! If you're looking for a qualified, experienced editor or SR for your next project feel free to drop me a DM. I have money saving deals for small/ indie creators and can always work within a client's budget 🥰

Friday's still life study 🍊 (I ate it afterwards. Yum.) Oil on paper, ~90 min.

And the page count is in for the first full draft layout of Asher's Ridge: 224 pages. Unless I add an index 🤔 (It's more than the 160 pages I thought it would be during the Kickstarter 🫣)

If you hate that thing where creators say "Follow this Kickstarter and let's get to [a round number] of followers"... ...this is a really good time to follow the Play Unsafe Kickstarter, because it's nowhere near a round number of followers. #kickstarter #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

"The Princess & The Dragon" is the latest TTRPG adventure for the gritty and pretty Perils & Princesses. Written by @dhowl37.bsky.social, writer of the Ennie-nominated "Sweet Revenge," This freaky friday forest crawl is packed with high fantasy adventure and fairy tale antics. Live on Kickstarter.

We're excited to back the next chapter of the Perils & Princesses story and bring it to the shop! 👸🐲

A friend introduced me to a new local(ish) life drawing class, where I could play with my most hated medium (charcoal) I've cropped my last drawing of the session, because 🤷‍♀️ what bsky would do with a life drawing so you just get the head. (But I'm pretty happy with this head.)

I have this little ritual where every time I sit down to work I first light a candle, watch the match burn, and then put the match in a glass pot (they accumulate, I see progress, yay!) Today's the first day the match has split in this cool way. It made me smile. :)

I’m having WAY too much fun with these maps and sticker sheets for Princess & The Dragon. (Kickstarter Launches on Tuesday!)

I have finished up the full text, pontificated upon it, and declared it ready for editing. I'm going to take a little tea break, then get on with some art.

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
