Toucan’t Blog: Where Does Mausritter Exist? Brad Kerr famously doesn’t read blogs, so I feel safe quoting him out of context and starting some lighthearted beef

BIG RED BUTTON. A short body-horror story I wrote a few years ago. "It pulsed, expanding and contracting, secreting a slick, ruddy brown substance through its pores with each beat" jlcable.wordpress.com/2024/11/16/b...

Watched The Princess Bride again last night. It made me wonder, has anyone made a Forged In The Dark game which emulates the madcap storybook problem solving of Princess Bride? Narrator & audience chiming in to pivot the story. "Actually I was fighting with my left hand the whole time" type moments

I've been listening to so many episodes of Between Two Cairns and yet I'm only at Nov 2023. I like to think it is helping with my Mothership writing.

Rolled up a new character for the Milk Bar playtest tonight. After my Stalker got bricked by a ghost I was looking forward to playing someone more conventional. Rolled Writer on the background. Well that's within my wheelhouse.

Is imagining conversations with the therapist I haven't seen in two years a good or bad sign of how I'm doing? Those precious ten free hours. Good times.

Essential viewing for accidental misanthropes like me. I need to get better, far better, at getting myself, and my work out there. But more importantly, I need and want to talk to people who like the things I like. It will take some brain re-wiring on my end, but it is worth doing.

Even in the depths of a decrepit space station, people yearn for the old ways... Very happy to be writing Rites of Renewal for Mothership Month! 🍎🍺🌳🌞🦌🔪💀

Ooh also, if you PLAYED in our insane megagame of THE BLOODFIELDS AT BLACKSTAR STATION at Gen Con, hit us up. We'd love to hear more about your experience!

Guilty as charged. A very fair and eloquent review of our book.

NEW: Bob Geldof lets rip over Gaza genocide. PRESENTER: "Isn’t it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole?" GELDOF: "Stop it Trevor. If Israelis want to protest, get in your cars. Stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border. Let your own army stop you. Shame on you.”

Who wants Johnson² pics? I've read the module before today, and it looks wonderfully fun. I'd love to get this one up the table. The physical book is really damn pretty and feels good. Plus, patches! My backpack will be very happy.

If Bob Vylan wants back on the BBC’s good side, they’re gonna need to commit some sex crimes

If I was going to write a Peregrine Coast Press primer to producing your RPG zine/book, what are the questions you'd love to have answered? I deal a lot in production: design, productisation, working with retailers and distributors, fulfilment and postage, warehousing. No question is off limits!

The way this government describes dozens of MPs collectively speaking out for their constituents as a “revolt” and not as like. What the point of a fucking house of commons is meant to fucking be

What a day in the studio - Jamila reorganised our storage, we’ve started implementing our new labelling system, we’ve set up a shared inbox for CS, started a stock-take, removed manual steps from a process, and @samtmcnally.bsky.social, @jlcable.bsky.social and I had a call about Mausritter Month 👀

Well UKGE was an absolutely stonking success for PCP in a way more than I forecasted for and I got a deal I couldn’t pass up so this is what the studio currently looks like in preparation for my big big plans

UKGE over and my mead is gone.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

”Miyazaki said, 'I am utterly disgusted. If you really want to make creepy stuff you can go ahead and do it. I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.' He also said, 'I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.'"

New work! Six months in the making, created by @anicacihla.bsky.social, edited by @aldermancy.bsky.social, and with art direction from @nohr.se: Sin Eater. A solo game about eating the sins of the dead, passed down through the ages. Really fucking proud of this one!

i don't have a joke here, i just think it's rad as hell that this guy is making tiny tiny homes that are attached to bikes for people experiencing homelessness in toronto

'Wolf' from 1994, has a few similarities to Spider-Man 3.

Watching the Gorge on Apple. The Queen's Gambit and Whiplash nods back to back was a nice touch

I don't talk about this enough considering how many boxes of these I still own BUT a few years ago, a bunch of incredibly talented writers and illustrators came together to make a film and games magazine called Filmmakers Without Cameras. peregrinecoast.press/products/fil...

Trying to make a thread of live action media fucking up the portrayal of videogames (movie: "I see you" (2019)

Remarkably I did roll a Stalker on my first ever Milk Bar character. And got to throw some steel bolts to test a gravitational anomaly on our way to pickup some cargo bikes!

In my Elric and Conan phase, what a time to hear about New Edge for the first time! What a banger of a cover. I'm excited to delve in.

We're going to be at Romford Horror Festival and I'm very excited to do a Q&A about the film!

You know why they turned Dukat into a mustache-twirling cartoon by the end of DS9? Ron Moore was Extremely Online in the late 90s and was disgusted by the people on the Trek AOL groups and Usenet using Holocaust denial arguments in defense of his actions during the Occupation of Bajor.

I really cannot begin to describe the sorry state Sin Eater would be in without Eryk’s involvement. He is a singular talent in this industry. If you want your game to be an actual work of art, Eryk’s your guy.

Eryk's work on Sin Eater is phenomenal!

Only now am I getting into the sword and sorcery books I should have been diving into as a kid. R.E Howard and Moorcock started writing so young, and yet so well, (Lovecraft too). They didn't have video games to contend with. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Hasbro is definitely stumbling in the wake of the D&D One release, and people are going to be looking for alternatives. Here's a thread of indie games that have caught my attention.
