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!

I'll be posting a Kickstarter update on TERMINUS this weekend, btw! Patchwork Fez Games wishes to apologise for the delay and any inconvenience caused.

The linocut prints I illustrated for @patchworkfez.bsky.social folk horror themed TTRPG ‘Darkened Hill and Dale’ are available now! shop.patchworkfez.games/products/dar...

Lovely book and handouts from @patchworkfez.bsky.social only had a quick flick through but looks very good.

Interested in a Patchwork Fez game? Pick up Darkened Hill & Dale at shop.patchworkfez.games TERMINUS late pledges on Kickstarter at www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat... Updates newsletter at buttondown.email/PatchworkFez General info at patchworkfez.games

I'm very pleased to announce that Darkened Hill & Dale is now available to buy in physical & digital formats, along with related art items! 🥳 Find it at shop.patchworkfez.games

I'm looking at everything that's going on with tariffs/printing/shipping for TTRPGs and wondering how I can help. So, if there are any US TTRPG-makers who want (or need) to print/distribute a book/zine in relatively small quantities in the UK/overseas, give me a shout? Maybe we can team up?

Correction: I intend for my web shop to open and start selling Darkened Hill & Dale on Monday morning! That's the 7th April, probably around 09:30 UK time.

I really like Darkened Hill & Dale. I think Fatstock is my favourite scenario: I wonder if it'd pair well with Cthulhu Dark? And yes I did go outside and take a picture of it in some grass.

Friday shop plug! Folklore themed linocut prints. I don’t tend to do promo codes because my work is very affordable but use BLUESKY for a 10% discount. Expires in 24 hours. matpringleillustration.bigcartel.com

Mini update! PDFs for Darkened Hill & Dale *should* go out tomorrow (unless I get into a fight with the distribution). 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm planning to open the online shop for PDF and physical copies on Sunday 6th April – next week! 🔜

Ahhhh just look at it. @patchworkfez.bsky.social / @irny.bsky.social's gorgeous RPG has arrived. The handouts are spectacular. I can't wait to try it.

My copy of Darkened Hill & Dale by @irny.bsky.social arrived! 📚 As you can see, there's some pretty spooky scenarios for DMs in there! 👻

It's really lovely to see people receiving and enjoying their copies of Darkened Hill & Dale! ☺️
