So enjoyed making these images for FiveEvil Splinters. These were covers for our weekly slices of preview material for FiveEvil by bsky.app/profile/from... We collected them all into a single pdf and it’s free! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... #fiveevil

It's Conpulsion time again! We'll be there at The Pleasance in Edinburgh this weekend with a selection of our games. Malcolm is doing some awesome talks, and there's a nice relaxed pace so plenty of time to chat, play some games, even see a bit of Edinburgh. Maybe see you there?

Oh here’s one from the archives. It’s called “I’ve come to feed the pig”. The mighty Gregor Hutton bought rights to this one. It also got me some editorial illustration work with a financial publication that wanted to do some stuff echoing napoleonic themes. Worth making these personal pieces.

Thought I'd share this one as it is unlikely to be used. This full pager has been reworked into a double page spread image for an up-coming supplement for a|state. #astateRPG #HandiworkGames

Here are some more in-world posters for Hot War. Unfortunately, the fear and paranoia they reflect are an ever-increasing problem in the real world. #HotWar #HandiworkGames

Trench Crusade Backdrop Books are here in print, we'll be collecting all our backer info and opening a further round of late pledges while we get everything ready to send out (because why not?) I took a look at the first books to arrive: youtu.be/fbuCQwWBd7M #trenchcrusade

Remembering when I sculpted the hands for a larger character for The Burn in front of the TV instead of close to the figure’s body. And they came out the wrong size. Or was that entirely the right size?

So good.

The Communication Towers from a|state. #astateRPG #HandiworkGames

@handiworkgames.bsky.social #FiveEvil He slowly appears from the mist, bag on head, hiding most of his features. Unusually tall and thin, he wears a suit over his body, the proportions are just plain wrong and... his hand, oh my god his hand!

“The fires burned for days. It was only after they subsided that the Incursors began to appear. We put up quite a fight, but they proved more than we could handle. For now, we have abandoned the area.” #HotWar #HandiworkGames

a|state is the acclaimed 2nd edition of this classic British dystopian scifi RPG. Using the Forged in the Dark rules & presenting innovations used in the recent Blades '68, a|state casts your characters as Troublemakers trying to improve life in your corner of The City. handiwork.games/games/astate

Aerodynes Over Burningfell. One of my favourite bits of art I did for a|state. #astateRPG #handiworkgames

Cold City and Hot War Slipcase is almost here. It's been a joy to bring these games back in 2026, in their updated form, with new structures for play which echo the first edition but bring decades of additional experience from author @malcolmcraig.bsky.social to bear. handiwork.games/cold-city-ho...

BEOWULF Age of Heroes is our most mature game line, with loads to discover and enjoy! Set sail for adventure on the Whale Road, with one player and one GM action for 5e and compatible systems. All of our BEOWULF books are in stock right now! Love it #ttrpgs #beowulf #duet handiwork.games/beowulf

Current mood.

street performers are a treasure and deserve to be funded by a functional government imo. look at this shit. i'd be here watching this guy do this for hours holy fuck

Chronicles of Midgard by James Morris is out in the wild! Here’s the cover I was delighted to paint for this first supplement to the premium mythic/ancients/early medieval skirmish game. I’ve added in the original core rules cover here too so that you can appreciate the continuity. #art

Once again with feeling for the morning crowd: Our website has had a serious speed boost thanks to @jearle.uk. Thanks Jared! If you’ve been having trouble with getting it to load, fret no longer. We are fully open for business once more. handiwork.games

Delivery from @knucklebonesminis.bsky.social. Primed and ready to be painted… er sometime. Love these weird little guys, so rich in story. Backdrop is the Planets and Nebula backdrop book in A3 which is SICK by the way. Soz for the quick cellphone shot. No time for the big camera right now!

I've wanted one of these weird lil guys forever, and lucked out finding one in the UK. Shown here flying in the More Skies Backdrop Book in A3. Little bit of photoshop to remove the wire. :) handiwork.games/jon-hodgson-... #gunpla #robots #weirdlilguys #jhbackdrops

#ttrpg #art #FiveEvil For @handiworkgames.bsky.social Five Evil rpg core book.. oohh the spookies.

Diving into some FiveEvil art tomorrow for the new book “Netherworlds”. Really enjoyed working on these - montages and paint overs and assemblages is something I’ve always enjoyed doing, way back to the earliest days of my art foundation course. Nothing is wasted eh? FiveEvil is a handsome book.

We are live with Trench Crusade Backdrop Books! www.kickstarter.com/projects/han... @trenchcrusade.bsky.social #trenchcrusade

Ooh it looks like #FiveEvil has just unlocked a Gar Hanrahan stretch goal! #TTRPG www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

Hi new followers! I'm a #ttrpg designer and #nzpol despair-er, expect to see lots of both. Currently my brain is: TTRPG: my game #FiveEvil Fiendish 5E Horror (for people who love 5E AND people who hate 5E) closes soon on Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon... nzpol: Toitū te Tiriti ✊

Excellent to see this actual play of #FiveEvil with @fromthemorgue.bsky.social and players. Worth checking out on Kickstarter.
