PACKING HEAT: Out Now! Packing Heat is the ultimate set of skirmish rules for the modern era. With extremely deadly combat, tons of cinematic flair, and a Game Deck that keeps both players on their toes, no two games are the same! standingready.games

4 days left friends! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ioa...

Won't be a long wait now - Thursday is when the postie's collecting it!

A whole lotta signed books - the loose paper on page 1 is to stop any excess Sharpie ink from my signature from making a mess!

All set up and ready for Colours Wargames Show! #wargaming #medievalwargaming #ecorcheurs

I'm trying something a little bit different this time around!

I just backed Women of WW2: Resistance (Hand Sculpted & Cast) on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

If you're coming to #Colours2025 in Newbury, don't forget to swing by Stand C10 for some Fast and Brutal Squad on Squad Action! #PackingHeatGame

If you're worried that a tourist attraction might contain people from another country, you're gonna freak out when I tell you about tourists.

Fun Mobius Tabletop trivia and I think the first time I've posted this art I commissioned a while back. @foxdrows.bsky.social thanks again for the great job you did on this!

Being autistic in public is worrying that you may look weird, then overcorrecting and probably looking 10x weirder in the process.

AND WE'RE LIVE www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

An incredible bit of shooting from a Gangster Tommy Gun killed both shotgun Cops in a single Action!! #PackingHeatGame

Britcon is a go!

Heads-up: if you visit: ioandaviesjohn.com or standingready.games (the homepages) between now and the 20th of September you'll be automatically redirected to the Packing Heat info page of my website - I'm sure you can all guess why! Navigation still works as normal.

#PackingHeatGame Update: Standing Ready Games HQ has broken ground! Also, the Token Packs and the backers' bonus dice bags have arrived!

I want to apologise to Adobe for stating, in my 2019 joke-laden defence of Microsoft Word, that InDesign was for quitters. You still have to write the content to use InDesign, and now there's software that's truly for the *real* quitters who don't even want to do that.

What a Tanker game at Firestorm Games shortly after it was released

In the next couple months, I'm not attending one but TWO Wargames Shows, and running #PackingHeatGame too! More info here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ioa...

BackerKit surveys are sent out for all #PackingHeatGame buyers. Don't forget to check your spam folders!

My dog got sick and I messed up the backerkit surveys as a result, so there'll be a slight delay. I'm very sorry about this. Surveys will be sent out on the 21st. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ioa...

Say Cheese! Prettying up the rulebook with some photos of my personal model collection. Even got this fancy light box to do it too! #PackingHeatGame

This week I've cracking on with the final edits for Packing Heat, including adding Faction #19. That's quite hard to portray in a single picture, so here's footage of a shootout ending in a Downed gangster instead! #PackingHeatGame #wargames #spreadthelard

How my Welsh language teachers talked about me whenever I was caught speaking English in the halls

Backed it just in time after hearing about it from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social :) looks great and glad I could help get it over the line! :)

Could you help us out and sign up to be notified for our Women of WW2: Resistance Kickstarter? It's gonna struggle with promo on some places as they are antifascists fighting fascists - Nazis, and I don't want to dumb it down with n*zis or Schmazis or whatever www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

Just in case you're looking for models to go with the #PackingHeatGame 'Resistance and Partisans' rules!

With AI creeping into so many things, I'm even more relieved that Bad Squiddo's marketing/vibe has always just been whatever happens in my brain rather than any pretended formality. Or real words. People are using AI to write background and fluff and rules now WHAT IS THIS omg. Support real stuff!
