600+ followers?!?!! Thank you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

The opening speed from To The Ice Caves for #Maskwitches. I will never not share this, even when I'm supposed to be doing something else entirely. I just love it when graphics and illustration work well together.

Ooh I liked these two masks. So made a random character to go with them. Make masks: www.handiwork.games/mask-creator/ Make witches: handiwork.games/witch-creator/

Mogwai time.

It’s quite exciting that there’s a new season of awful torture show Reacher because I’ve been working on a game inspired by the first 2 seasons called BIG BOY. The flowchart doesn’t mean all that much on its own but I’m happy that it emulates the show terrifyingly well

There’s no radio in The City of a|state. There is semaphore though. Love this piece by Paul Bourne in the a|state corebook. handiwork.games/games/astate #astaterpg

4 followers off 600! The cult 00s UK indie RPGs are coming back. In a slip case. Well… maybe. If we fund! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

Nice.

The update to the #Maskwitches Mask Generator is here! Free to use, but more importantly deeply amusing and yet very satisfying. All the thanks to Simon Proctor for his amazing work on making this update a reality. handiwork.games/mask-creator/

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

We’re super excited that the much anticipated Blades ‘68 from @olddog.games makes use of The Trouble Engine from a|state. Fantastic to see it getting some wider exposure! handiwork.games/games/astate

It’s not just the Mask Generator that’s new today. We’ve launched a witch generator app that automates the tables from #maskwitches to make characters for you. It’s free of course. handiwork.games/home/the-sil...

I have so much to do that I need to stop making these. You can make your own masks/weird little guy here: handiwork.games/mask-creator/ #maskwitches

Looking though my camera roll for things to share and oh hey - a Maskwitch looking at the actual northern lights. I shot this in a hurry on my phone. I gathered a pack of stuff, including a piece of mobile scenery, to get a better shot the next night, but the aurora didn’t return. #maskwitches

Netherworlds! This is my fancy name for those bad places you go to in horror stories. And it gets a fancy name because making them work in a #TTRPG like #FiveEvil is surprisingly tricky. 1/

The latest news from #FiveEvil is pretty cool: Netherworlds! Rules text is complete, and editing and layout is underway in earnest. Nice! You can still make a late pledge if you'd like to enjoy Kickstarter pricing and the unlocked free PDF scenarios. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

Nice.

It has been brought to my attention that earlier today we posted an image with alt text that stated that a lone hero was attacking an orange-faced ogre. This could be interpreted as encouraging lone wolf violence against the far right. We would like to apologise and remind you to work in groups.

Another mask for the Mask Genny. #Maskwitches. It’s probably easier to go here than have me try to explain what the heck all this stuff is: handiwork.games/home/the-sil...

Do you know what we haven't mentioned in a hot minute? Cold City Hot War! Really exciting to hear about folks prepping for their playtest games. Here's a selection of amazing images from Paul Bourne. The new books are shaping up to be amazing. #coldcity Closing in on 600 followers! Link to follow

It's been a rough year for Oscar the Grouch. (I'm working on components for a future #Maskwitches Mask Generator update. Don't tell anyone. Current version is here, if you're yet to have the pleasure: handiwork.games/maskwitches-...

A HUNDRED YEARS UNDERGROUND (1963)

As noted in the comments I think this is amazing. On a Post-it note? I can’t get over it.

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you Stay mad keep fighting

It’s always a treat when we get to do the cover of a game we think will be something we’d buy. Cosmic Dark looks really good.

Your outie understands that for every game made by someone with mental health issues which you choose laugh at, you in turn have made a game while having mental health issues which people laugh at.

BEOWULF Digital Pack 18 is coming! Better make sure you're caught up with packs 1-17. Or the three Annuals! handiwork.games/beowulf/beow...

Well that sounds very useful indeed.
