False Machine News - current mutterings from my Fulfilment Company indicate that U.S. shipping will hopefully resume around the end of the month - it's going to be a grim system.

a full post on the situation with False Machine sales to the U.S.A. falsemachine.blogspot.com/2025/08/most...

On advice from my distributor, I have been forced to shut down False Machine sales to the U.S.A., starting right now. My apologies!

Zedeck is economical with his words, but manages to communicate plenty about the location all the same. The Perfect Wife is a horror adventure / game—the total package! Zedeck did writing and art. He is also the total package, but this particular picture must be Amanada’s, and is quite beautiful.

The Ramanan Sivaranjan Awards for Excellence in Gaming 2025, now with fewer typos and some pretty pictures. This year my tops picks veered back to the OSR, weirdly all games that have existed in some form for a very long time now. Enjoy.

I somehow won a Rammie? Thanks Ram!

first ever try kit bashing a miniature guy I designed for this game: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b... (luckily a friend is teaching me glueing techniques & also letting me use all their tiny plastic bits)

In case you missed it, @zedecksiew.bsky.social ‘s Southeast Asian vampire horror, A Perfect Wife, is now available. Extra art by @amandalee.bsky.social and Scrap World davidblandy.itch.io/a-perfect-wife

The Herdstone of the Horde of Angh-Zhall, my Realms-of-Chaos/Toybox themed Beastman army for The Old World. Main piece is a Rad Dragon from OS Minis, I think the little creature scavenging is from Meridian Miniatures, the dead body is Brian Ansell (I think)
