I'm a huge fan of urban fantasy. It's my comfort genre, but I've also been fascinated at the ways it's developed and mutated over the decades. Getting to discuss this with @sskorkowsky.bsky.social, who is even more immersed in the genre than I am, was an absolute delight.

The Kickstarter for Public Access is still going strong! Need some convincing to check it out? 1 like = 1 cool thing about Public Access! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Oh my god! I am still in tears from laughter. And it’s oh so true. Three absolute chowder heads. 🤣🤣🤣

I maintain that this was a fine plan. Sure, it was stupid and over-engineered, but it was my favourite session of the campaign!

That’s another killer session of Push the Ross with @rossbryant.bsky.social in the can! What a cast! @bransonreese.bsky.social, @katestam.bsky.social, @sdorward.bsky.social and @cuppycup.bsky.social are doing things you’ve probably never heard in Call of Cthulhu. Follow wherever you get podcasts!

It was a delightful surprise to get a shout-out from @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social. Thanks so much! I was thrilled to hear positive feedback on the dramatic irony, social commentary, Mythos rug-pull in my Call of Cthulhu scenario SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN. (link below)

Me listening to the podcast I'm in and appreciating my Keeper and fellow players 😄 @hwrpodcast.bsky.social @joethegm.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social

"Fanny pack full of teeth" hits very differently this side of the pond

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Oh, how I've been looking forward to this!

First time seeing my true name in print! It's thrilling and so gender affirming.

I've lost track of how many times I've recommended this to people, but that won't stop me doing it again. It's simply wonderful.

More details to follow soon

It was terrific fun having @symphonyhorror.bsky.social on the podcast. We hardly stopped laughing throughout. There are just so many great scenarios on the MR, and I feel bad for some of the ones we never got to talk about. Maybe another time.

IL: The Night Floors is in the books. Thanks to @jaredlogan.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social @adriangamenerd.bsky.social @discourseminis.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social for burning any bridges that could have lead to a prudent outcome for your agents, and salting any earth left behind them. 🥂😅

www.patreon.com/posts/149960... So excited for the new @goodmania.bsky.social campaign with @sdorward.bsky.social

If you can speak German (which, sadly, I can't), Hilmar Firestarter is running an actual play of my scenario "Unamerican" on the Dark FM podcast. It combines Red Scare paranoia with the aftermath of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" in 1950s suburban America. www.buzzsprout.com/2463327/epis...

had to censor some spoiler text but loll at these drawings by @danielharila.bsky.social for @sdorward.bsky.social's "Getting the band together" and Matthew Sanderson's "Behind the neon glare". So pretty!

my volume of @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social's blasphemous tome with arts and illustration by @evandorkin.bsky.social & @danielharila.bsky.social and text by @sdorward.bsky.social and Matthew Sanderson has arrived!

He really is a cutie!

I hope we hit the right tone with this episode, discussing the horror that comes from abuses of religious belief without attacking faith itself. Zach and I are both former Christians with complicated relationships with our former beliefs, and we tried to be respectful.

Went to Whitby but @sdorward.bsky.social got here first

Hey, babe. How'd your session of Impossible Landscapes go? It went... sideways Then Adrian left early and Agent Morgan shot Agent Martian right through the throat

After all the times Zach has invited me to be on @pretendingpod.bsky.social, it was long past time to return the favour. This was a great chat, and I hope it's as useful as it was fun for us to record.

We’re streaming DEEP REGRETS, a fishing board game where the hauls get more horrifying as you go. 🐙⚓ Players: @thingsgetdicey.bsky.social @morepeoplehappy.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social @cuppycup.bsky.social 🗓 Wed, Jan 21 ⏰ 12pm ET / 5pm UTC 👉 twitch.tv/pushtheroll 👉 youtube.com/@pushtheroll

Beyond stoked to check out all y’all’s submissions! Season Two is hurtling toward its conclusion. Don’t miss S2E90 (with @sdorward.bsky.social and @ellidilorenzo.bsky.social) — out this Friday!

Another fun conversation with Paula! The weirdly priapic Michigan Dogman is especially likely to haunt my dreams.

An excellent finale from @goodmania.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social and the @apocalypseplayers.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/145769... #callofcthulhu

Our first board game stream. We’re playing Betrayal at House on the Hill, fully expecting chaos once the haunt begins. @jcvim.bsky.social @thingsgetdicey.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social @cuppycup.bsky.social 🗓️ Tue Jan 13 ⏰ 2:30pm ET / 19:30 UTC 📺 twitch.tv/pushtheroll | youtube.com/@pushtheroll

Also, huge thanks to the Patreon supporters, who have made a rock these last few years. I treat the Patreon as a job, there are now over 1,000 posts, many unlock at the $1/mo tier, some for Free members. Thanks again to all members, past and present. FYI: Free Public FAQ post: tinyurl.com/4hw2astv

Also, thanks to the folks who backed the A1 Deadline revival. I've stupidly committed to doing new Milk & Cheese comics for any subsequent issues. At least I won't have to FedEx the original pages to London like in the 90s. #GinAndPanic

While I'm at it, I want to thank the folks who supported my work in 2025 with a purchase or preorder: - Beasts of Burden Omnibus - Nerd Inferno Omnibus (out 4/21) from @darkhorse.com - Catacomb of Torment stories in #2/#5 from @oni-press.bsky.social/@eccomics.bsky.social - Some Marvel/DC reprints

I really enjoyed recording this episode. Paula and Matt introduced me to so many fun-sounding games, while I dredged up everything I could remember from the eighties and nineties! It's inspired me to start playing board games again. Watch this space for news on that soon.

I am not very good at self-promotion. We've been doing these Patreon bonuses for a year and I've failed to mention them anywhere. Patreon backers get immediate access to the back catalogue, along with the PDFs of every issue of The Blasphemous Tome and the Call of Cthulhu scenarios they contain.

I am so happy with how this art has come out!

Tomorrow I run Unland by @sdorward.bsky.social using the Liminal Horror game by @goblinarchives.itch.io. 4 YouTubers go to an abandoned amusement park. It was closed when an employee was found to be stalking and killing children that visited. Everything should be fine. youtube.com/live/rZakjvs...

Here's a little poem I wrote the other week. I asked for people to record a little for the ending so thanks to @alwayspushtheroll.com @mrspike.bsky.social @moonbroth.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social @wreathedinflame.bsky.social & @jaunty.art www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJJO...

@mrspike.bsky.social would be proud of how diligent I was about showing the Yellow Sign to everyone I met

Daniel's illustrations for my scenario are even more grotesque than I could have hoped for! Just a reminder that anyone backing The Good Friends of Jackson Elias at the $5 by the end of the month will get a signed copy of the Tome, with two full scenarios by Matt and myself.

GOAT OF THE YEAR Commission for the Blasphemous Tome #14 @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social Inked traditionally, colored digitally by yours truly 2025

@mrspike.bsky.social has done a wonderful job of directing us once again, and we have a terrific cast, including @goodmania.bsky.social, @savagespiel.bsky.social, @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social, @hangnailjenny.bsky.social, @theant.bsky.social, Brian Murphy, and Sarah Dovey.

We took a different approach with this episode, digging into the elements of the film and story we found inspirational rather than offering a full recap. I think it worked. And @rossbryant.bsky.social is always a delight to chat with.

We’re back with another dose of Push the Roll with Ross Bryant! Join @captdope.bsky.social, Mary Lou, @sdorward.bsky.social and @cuppycup.bsky.social as @rossbryant.bsky.social runs us through one nightmare after another. pushtheroll.com

This has been great fun so far. If you fancy joining in, the discussion is happening in the book club channel of the Good Friends Discord. discord.com/invite/GoodF...

Thanks to @adriangamenerd.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social @jaredlogan.bsky.social and @discourseminis.bsky.social for another session of Impossible Landscapes. I won’t spoil the surreal horrors they found in The Night Floors, but it did end with Seth stepping in dog shit.💩
