Not feeling much like writing today. Too much chatter, and tired enough slept for an hour this afternoon aready today!

Down at the Tower this weekend. Amazing stars at night. "Dark sky" status aside, there was definitely a cosmic sense of insignificance while they glimmer...

Definitely Raiders and Cap inspired!

I may have backed Cthulhutech...

Rpg books to box-up, maps to draw, character sheets to prep. Anyone out there have decent Indesign template for playing/Mtg size cards too?

One map just done in Photoshop. I'm not great at doing digital maps, but that one isn't bad. Now to do a village...

Sometimes all it takes is one bad review of something you've written to smack you down hard. Always better to take note of what is said (if constructive) then fix it, not dwell on it. Ignore the haters. Focus on the positive.

Now being seen as "a threat to the American way of life" is strange.

Going to begin boxing up about a 100 or so RPG books to donate to a Midlothian gaming group. My idea for an RPG library isn't viable and I'd rather pass them on.

Lost my GMing mojo, I think. Really have no interest in running or even playing RPGs right now. On the other hand, I'm enjoying the creative writing process involved in RPG settings and adventures.

Not a bad day. Vacuumed house and caught myself before CFS caught me out. Had a fantastic steak for lunch, then finished the writing ahead of schedule! Couple of maps to do now - Photoshop and CC3 are a whole new challenge this weekend...

In Nibiru, you wake up as an amnesiac within the innards of a colossal space station, home to millions, and proceed to travel an eerie, alien steelscape in search for the remnants of your lost past. If you like the premise, check out our KS preview page! www.kickstarter.com/projects/xan...

Nearly done with this draft... pregens next for <redacted> RPG...

Based Hellboy.

Not a bad weekend/AL. Two writing assignments in draft, broken laptop fixed, and new PC now up to scratch!

Damn. PC motherboard looks to be knackered... Time to get a new PC - this one's lasted since 2013 (new PSU, SSD, grafx card, RAM though).

Mum Chums, my slice of life #ttRPG about the people who care for kids, is now live on Kickstarter. If you like your gaming with a strong emotional core, back it today!

He/Him. ENNIE-nominated for Best Writing 2024. RPG writer on Musketeers vs. Cthulhu, Achtung! Cthulhu, Infinity, Mutant Chronicles. Available for freelance RPG work. Scotland-based RPGer!

Managed to get some writing done. Now watching some kind of Stargate ripoff set in Egypt with John Rhys Davis, Joss Ackland... and Shane Ritchie. Yeah, that one.

First time in over a week I've been able to sit down and write. Progress at least...

Probably need to put up a pinned post for myself...

I have a full writing card for Q1 of 2025, but will be open to more freelance work later this year...

Not a good start to the weekend: chest infection plus fever. Always on a bloody Thursday, despite masking-up on the bus on Tuesday.

Dealing with writer's block. I'm open to suggestions on what #ttrpg to review next. Fire away folks.

I know I keep banging on about it but I'm very proud of @nightfall.games Musketeers vs. Cthulhu, based on a short story by @chrismcauleyauthor.bsky.social and Ckaudi Christian. Just gave a copy to my nephew whis been running - and playing - Call of Cthulhu!

A nice wee review of a book I wrote - vol 2 coming soon! Musketeers vs. Cthulhu from @nightfall.games rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2024/08/myth...

Just remembered I used to have an account on Tumblr. That's gone! Got rid of Insta too... Will keep FB and Mastodon for now. Simplify, simplify....
