Last week was Very Hot. I posted what I could before melting entirely, but otherwise I read a whole lot of books. I've started this week feeling incredibly inspired. Fulfilment continues, but there's this little idea blinking away at me that I'm making notes for in between packing moments.

It’s here! Beautiful stuff from @montfordtales.com!

Here's the lil vid I made this morning bout it

Yes! 🙌 Go check it out and have fun playing many, many games with it as a companion! It's fantastic!

I think the way I'll approach this is just to share on what's working and what's not working. The number one tip I have is to learn how to present your games to different audiences, especially people who have never heard of a "TTRPG" or even a "roleplaying game." There's lots of them.

It is inhumanely hot in my workspace today. This is going to be a week of Very Little Progress 🫠 (it's only going to be worse tomorrow :/ )

Ooo look. Postie has been with @montfordtales.com goodies! This all looks incredible 👏👏👏

DO YOU NEED A LABEL PRINTER FOR YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?? I have upgraded mine, and since I got this back in the day when I couldn't afford it thanks to a generous Ko-Fi donation, I want to make sure I pass on their kindness. Just comment if this could help you - and I'll draw a random 'winner'

Shadow in the Stars is on Kickstarter! Don't miss it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

Not my best photography, but I've received some fine goods from @montfordtales.com! 👀 Asher's Ridge looks great, and I love the presentation of the separate map.

This morning's art class was life painting with a male model. The pose is 100% NSFW, so here's a crop of the top! I used a 4 colour palette in oils (burnt sienna, cadmium red, pthalo green lake, titanium white) on a 24x30cm linen canvas panel. I am so, so happy with this.

75% funded! 🥳

Step 3 of ??? Another week, another smidge of progress. I've drawn my sketch up on a 70x55cm piece of watercolour board, and put down a first layer of splodgy wet watercolour to start hinting at foliage. It's a start! (But this will still take a while.)

Life drawing 1-3 min poses, a 40 min pose, and a 30 min pose. All charcoal, my most hated of mediums.

Some cat tax as I attempt to post Asher's Ridge to backers while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. (Something I've been lacking of late!)

Just Launched! Shadow in the Stars is a solo role playing game featuring starfighter combat, tough choices, and wild discoveries. Can you get on the high score board? Check it out before it's over! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

New to the #SoloRPG List: Asher's Ridge by @montfordtales.com A roleplaying game of paranormal drama television for 1-4 players. Inspired by Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Stranger Things and more! LINKY: solorpglist.com/search.php?i...

I would 100% recommend Alex. They did a great job and took a huge weight off my shoulders in the run up to the kickstarter for Asher's Ridge last year.

It is SO GOOD!

So pretty @montfordtales.com

another Happy Pride Month, Hippies! Anthony Hurd (American, b. 1975) "Feeling One's Oats," 2024 acrylic on canvas 26 x 32 in.

Hugest thanks to everyone who has signed up to play some fun TTRPGs with some amazing GMs to raise money for my wheelchair. I'm 50% there now and we still have a few player spaces left if anyone wants to play!💖

Looks like if you're in the hunt for a copy of The Balsam Lake Unmurders you just might find one.

Like yeah shout outs to @euphoriaap.bsky.social @thebadspot.bsky.social @cozyrpgreviews.bsky.social and @adx74.bsky.social !!! Y'all are out here uplifting indie ttrpg creators while being able to celebrate the con while pushing for necessary improvements - and that's cool as hell!!

I made it back to Friday art class 🙌 (I've missed several with Asher's Ridge and UKGE prep) So here's my bottle of vinegar and its spills :) I ran out of time to finish up the writing on the label (but I tried!£ WIPs in next post 👇

Hey! We're commissioning for a @morkborg.com related project & keen to find cool new artists! Is that you? Please reply with + Your price for a full colour spot piece & a full colour A5 illustration + Are you available in the next month + Your most MORK-BORGY piece of previous art for us to look at

Step 2 of ??? I know I want three flamingos and water and thick jungle, so this weeks class was spent drafting thumbnails and drawing up a larger composition. It needs more height, so I'll fudge that when I draw this again onto the final board. (It's getting there, kinda)

I've been researching #UKGE RPG safety procedures for an upcoming video. If you've GMed or played an event in the last two years I'd really like to ask you a couple of questions re. your experience. Feel free to DM or email anonymously :) (Sharing massively appreciated!)

The Lake District has waterfalls, sheep and now paranormal investigation. Asher's Ridge from @montfordtales.com is a 1-4 player RPG where you script a paranormal drama, tiles spinning the plot and cards marking locations. Twin Peaks never looked so National Trust. #RPGPDFSpotlight l.d20.ninja/Qfh9ea

SURPRISE we got to play this wonderful game with one of the key creatives! It's got space it's got DOOM it's got deeply collaborative play with clean mechanics to facilitate emergent, evocative storytelling. Check it out!!

Good work, folks 🙌 Thank you to everyone who encouraged my kid at UKGE. Here's a sneak peek at what he's preparing for next time ❤️ (He did all of this last night instead of going to sleep 🤣)

I've topped up the community copy pool yet again and I'm sharing this news with some video vibes :) montfordtales.itch.io/ashers-ridge (The Kickstarter is long over, but you can pre-order on my store for dispatch ~ end June)

(RPG PDF Spotlight) Asher’s Ridge, Core Rulebook by Montford Tales Asher’s Ridge is a fully collaborative tabletop roleplaying game for 1 to 4 players, where you direct -and play through -episodes of an original paranormal drama television series. angusabranson.com/2026/06/04/r...

UKGE 26 Haul! I’ve not had a chance to dive into any of these just yet, but I cannot wait to put them on my shelf and feel bad about never reading or playing them! 🏴‍☠️ Pirate Borg 🧗‍♂️ Full Send 🚉 Railway Porter 🔍 Asher’s Ridge 📯 Senet 🍞 Bakeries ⛰️ Runecairn

Fresh from the box 🙌 Everything has arrived safe and sound, and everything is just gorgeous. Here's a little flick through of the Collector's Edition (only 100 were, and ever will be, made)

Okay, UKGE recovery break time is over. I'm getting a sudden delivery of Asher's Ridge tomorrow 🤯 I thought I had more time to clear away the UKGE chaos before they arrived 😅 Still, it's a nice surprise when a mid-June estimate turns into an "oh, tomorrow before noon" one!

Step 1 of ??? Look at what strange creatures flamingos are and try and draw some. 🦩

Today's an art class marks the start of a multi-week project on the topic of 'colour'. I'm going to paint some flamingos, so prepare yourself for weird bird sketches and painting prep updates 🦩 Pink flamingos, green jungle leaves, contemplative reflections. Lets see where this goes 🤷‍♀️

My unconference for tabletop game-makers is happening soon! If you make tabletop games, come along to meet folks, swap ideas, and solve problems together. Sat 20th June Near St Pancras, London Tickets are £1+ ti.to/tabletop-unc... The vibe is 'post-it notes & packed lunches in a village hall'.

Bring the X-Files to the Lake District with Asher's Ridge, a GMless game for 1-4 players. Out now in PDF at itch and DTRPG, including everything you need to (print &) play. Connect the threads (red string optional). montfordtales.itch.io/ashers-ridge

Still buzzing that I ran out of both Serving Up Disaster & When The Walls Fall at #UKGE this year! If you missed grabbing a copy of either they're both available through my webstore: molomoot.com/shop/ I'd also love to know if you got a copy and have had a chance to read or play either of them!🥰

Today begins "idea fight club", where I explore a few pages of my ever increasing idea book and see if any of them actually make the cut. Then this afternoon is "unpack some UKGE stuff and pack some (non-Asher's Ridge) online orders."

I saw the community copy pool was empty, so I topped it up with another 20: montfordtales.itch.io/ashers-ridge (If you're just curious about the game, there's a pretty big preview you can download also :) )

We were lucky enough to pick up a copy at UKGE, incredible design and quality! Looking forward to exploring more!

I want to thank @finleyjinley.bsky.social for the incredible work they've done researching and cataloguing solo RPGs for sale at UKGE 2026. I personally had 3 people mention their zine and I can only imagine how many sales the guide resulted in. Please show them some support! finley-jinley.itch.io
