Having just realised that UKGE is getting closer, I'm thinking about what I'll be stocking on my (first) solo stand. My own products (and mosaics!) will take up most stand space, but I'm considering 'hosting' a curated set of work by others who don't have stands – possibly focusing on indie horror.

Apropos of nothing, I've decided to offer free UK shipping on orders over £20 on the Patchwork Fez Games web shop! If you fancy a horrible game, or some lovely artwork relating to a horrible game, pop over to shop.patchworkfez.games

Apologies to any UK folks who've tried to order from the Patchwork Fez Games web shop but received an error message at checkout along the lines of 'We can't ship to your address.' This was the result of an incorrect shipping setting, and has now been resolved!

This is a really interesting write-up on how Syd has adapted TERMINUS for Cthulhu Hack. Thanks for sharing it! (Note: it's naturally heavy on spoilers for the scenario.)

Jax wrote a solo horror RPG inspired by the film Martyrs. View evil from the perspective of the villain. Fascinating game and it's part of the RPG zine club.

Oh the wonderful things you find at Orcs Nest London ..

An incredibly beautiful delivery from @patchworkfez.bsky.social this morning. Look at that cover and the texture on it! A quick skim looks great and I’ll have to give it further examination to run for a group.

absolutely gorgeous post from @patchworkfez.bsky.social today. thing of beauty, thanks @irny.bsky.social !

Nice things in the post today! @patchworkfez.bsky.social

Mini TERMINUS Shipping Update: The mosaic dice cups will be shipping out early next week, but everything else should be in the post by tomorrow lunchtime! 🥳

About a week ago, @irny.bsky.social’s TERMINUS arrived, so beautifully wrapped I was hesitant to open it. I did start to unwrap it, stopped, and tried to put it back together to photograph it.

A festive mini-update for TERMINUS: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house Were boxes of books, much like a warehouse; The hardbacks looked good, the tiles bright with gloss, The grout less reflective, a flat matte criss-cross...

The TERMINUS hardbacks have arrived and the fancy UV spot gloss has come out exactly as hoped – glossy tiles and matte grout! 🥳 It almost feels like it's embossed. I'll be posting these out as soon as I can manage it. 📦🔜

Ok, final call for any pre-Christmas orders of Darkened Hill & Dale, TERMINUS, etc. on my web shop! Order by 6pm today (Sunday) and I'll post it tomorrow morning – otherwise it won't dispatch until after Christmas. Choose Tracked 24 postage for pre-Christmas UK delivery! shop.patchworkfez.games

Final call for Christmas orders .. Darkened Hill & Dale is a superb collection of disturbing and unsettling (system agnostic) horror scenarios. My best rpg purchase of 2025.

Prepping my PISCES Delta Green campaign ideas. Thank you @patchworkfez.bsky.social. These are gonna be put to great use.

INFORMATION! Freshly available in my web shop: - TERMINUS (and associated ephemera) - @rosspayton.bsky.social's The Night Clerk - @lymerpg.bsky.social's Fear and Panic shop.patchworkfez.games If ordering anything from me, I *strongly* recommend doing so before this Saturday! (Info thread: 1/4)

TERMINUS mini update! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... I'm trying to get all of the paperbacks in the post on Monday, and the digital edition is now haunting a lot of inboxes!

@drivethrurpg.com Hi! Is there a problem with the site at the moment? I'm trying to access the publisher tools and getting this:

Oh, stuff it. Let's give it a go.

Hello from Dragonmeet! I am slightly overtired but I am PRESENT. Find me over at stand E15 – next to Chaosium's looming illuminated banners – to acquire games! I'm also giving away free facts about the London Underground and mosaic-making. 😂

ALL ABOARD.

Time for another exciting evening of torturing my printer, as I continue on my quest to prepare 100 folders of Darkened Hill & Dale handouts in time for Dragonmeet. 🖨️📚 (Each folder contains 21 handouts, some of which are double-sided, and some of which are on fancy paper, so this is Some Printing.)

This is where I am at Dragonmeet, sharing a stall with @patchworkfez.bsky.social . Come and say hello! And, you know, buy things, that'd be good too.

If you'd like a copy of Darkened Hill & Dale AND are attending World Fantasy Con in Brighton later this week, you can avoid shipping costs and collect it from me in person there! Use code WFC2025 at checkout by Thurs lunchtime, and I'll be in touch to arrange a handover. 😎📦 shop.patchworkfez.games

Belatedly, the September update for TERMINUS! We apologise for the delay caused to this service. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...

Folks, I'm closing late pledges on the TERMINUS Kickstarter tomorrow evening! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... Post-Kickstarter copies will cost a little more and probably not be available before Dragonmeet (end of Nov).

I've completed my experimental attempt to make a mosaic-decorated dice cup, and I think it's come out pretty well! It's not as cumbersome to hold/use as feared, and lining it with felt was less difficult than expected. It also rolled a natural 20 right away, so it must be good. 😂

Great fun talking to @irny.bsky.social about how to write system flexible scenarios, using the brilliant examples of her Darkened Hill & Dale and Terminus Kickstarters! You can still late pledge for Terminus until 1st Oct, see www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... open.spotify.com/episode/6UTy...

As a heads up... We're nearly at the end of the line, so I'm planning to close late pledges for TERMINUS on October 1st! Hop on the backer train now to receive your copy in Oct/Nov. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...

Btw, I'm also intending to do a bit of a public postmortem session of Darkened Hill & Dale and TERMINUS in November (once the latter is finished). I'll announce that properly here and on my very occasional newsletter once I've chosen a date. news.patchworkfez.games

I'm talking about writing system-agnostic TTRPG scenarios over on @jwmuk.bsky.social's Raspy Raven Discord next week – 7pm UK time, Thurs 25th Sept. Writing scenarios to be system-agnostic can create some interesting additional challenges; join us to hear about how I discovered this the hard way. 😅

Many thanks to Taskerland for taking the time to write such a thorough and interesting review of Darkened Hill & Dale! 'Darkened Hill & Dale is strong in theme and singular in vision; its seven adventures stand apart yet resonate in proximity.' tasker.land/2025/08/26/r...

MUD GHOST ESTATE REDUX TTRPG contributor spotlight: Sarah Cole/Patchwork Fez Game (@patchworkfez.bsky.social) is the editor and distributing partner of the project! Sarah is a writer, game designer and publisher with a folk horror focus, and she also runs a number of community events! ✨

You (yes you) should really buy yourself a rather lovely present and pick up this excellent book. System agnostic, well written situations for your horror or occult mystery RPG of choice.

Late pledges are still open on TERMINUS, by the way! I expect they'll be available until late September, when I hope to order the print copies (for October shipping). Find the project info and back it over at www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...

The August Kickstarter update for TERMINUS is available! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... Despite being mostly art this month, it's somehow another long one. 🙃 Anyway, the most interesting bit is that I've finished assembling the new cover art! 🥳 I might need to re-photograph, but here it is:

ENNIE Awards voting is now open! If you'd like to give Darkened Hill & Dale a vote for Best Art - Cover, that'd be very lovely of you. 💜 vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2025/

Btw, my offer to help folks publish/distribute their small projects still stands! I'm keen to help people overcome printing/shipping challenges. If you're US-based, doing a TTRPG Kickstarter, and not sure what to do about international stuff, give me a shout? www.patchworkfez.games/collaboration/

Ok, to celebrate Darkened Hill & Dale's ENNIE nomination, and because my web shop is the ONLY place to get a copy (as I have yet to arrange distribution)... Shipping is heavily discounted until mid August – even for international folks. In fact, it's free in some cases! shop.patchworkfez.games

Does anyone fancy running a scenario for their AP, or reviewing Darkened Hill & Dale somewhere? Give me a shout if so! Review copies can probably be acquired. DH&D presents seven system-agnostic horror scenarios set in the modern British countryside. dhad.patchworkfez.games

Btw, if you love it as much as I do – aside from appearing on the cover of Darkened Hill & Dale, there are still a few copies of the nice A4 Giclée print left in the shop over here: shop.patchworkfez.games/products/dar...

I'm delighted to report that Darkened Hill & Dale has received an ENNIE nomination for best cover art! 🥳 I was thrilled to have Camilla Sicignano as the cover artist, and I'm so pleased to see her work recognised. Check out her portfolio here: camillasicignano.com Here's that full cover art btw:

On that note – Darkened Hill & Dale completely sold out at UKGE! But I do still have stock myself, and folks can pick up a copy at shop.patchworkfez.games For those who missed out on acquiring a copy, you can use the code UKGE25 to get free UK shipping until the end of this week. 💜

UKGE friends, come say hello! I'm loitering on the @uktin.bsky.social stand over in Hall 2 at 2-383 until 6pm today. ☺️ As an aside, the UK TIN stand is the only place at UKGE selling Darkened Hill & Dale, and there's a limited number available...

If you think I can help with your TTRPG project, get in touch – even if the prospect is daunting. It costs nothing to have a chat about your project, and I'll always be upfront with you about feasibility and costs. 💜

As a heads up: If you're angling to acquire a physical copy of Darkened Hill & Dale within the next week and a half, you'll need to order within the next hour! I'm away for a few days, so any orders placed after ~3pm today will be despatched on 19th May. shop.patchworkfez.games

I'm still considering setting up a UK-based tabletop unconference/event for game-makers... So, let's meet up at UKGE to chat about the idea! Join me in the bar of the NEC Crowne Plaza hotel at 8pm on Saturday 31st May if you're interested. Current info at ukge25.patchworkfez.games, as a bookmark.

A quick heads-up for anyone thinking of ordering a hard copy of Darkened Hill & Dale in the near future (as I'm away a bit): Orders placed by 3pm GMT today will ship today. I'll be shipping normally Weds 7–Fri 9 next week. Order placed 10–18 will ship on 19th May. shop.patchworkfez.games

TERMINUS April Update: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... TL;DR – I'm off to a gentle start with musings about visual style, trying to avoid getting into trouble with TfL, and asking for your thoughts about those little extras you unlocked!
