Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie. 17 (1963).

Soooo sometime next week I'm gonna fire up the stream, do some live art stuff again. Not sure what time or day but maybe late next Friday so non UK people can catch it? Gonna be talking and working on my Retrograde book!

We're launching The Bee magazine today because the UK publishing and writing industries have a bit of a class problem.

If you've got the cash give it a look ♥️

Really enjoyed #StarWarsDay Seeing people’s love of that universe, posting cool stuff. Especially great to see those who’ve worked on the shows and films sharing their work. Easy to be cynical about SW these days, but it’s still bringing whole parsecs of joy.

Wooo! we are now at 51 reviews and very positive! Thanks to everyone who has left a review so far, it really helps! And of course any signal boosts, like reviews, here or on any socials are appreciated, even just whispering the name of the game to strangers you pass.. NO don't do that last bit..

I did some very fine writing on this, please check it out. My first collaboration with @tomnullpointer.bsky.social in six years!

Can we just get 100 men to fight a gorilla but we all get to choose which men

I've now seen all the tits you can see in England. I have to go to Scotland to see more tits.

Demo for Battle Suit Aces is out, if sci-fi anime deck-building sounds like your thing.

Six fucking votes. FFS.

The sausage vs how the sausage is made!

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

For this first of May, here's a recycled thread of the time a couple of years back I made a trip to Dumfries & Galloway on the hunt for locations from The Wicker Man...

From @adamstation.bsky.social - who I worked with on 'Infinity of Ships' - comes… I Don't Belong Here - a modern horror RPG, inspired by the lyrics of Radiohead, with astonishing art from @stregawolf.art #rpg #Horror

I did a tiny amount of work on this game - but it does mean I've had the opportunity to see how fantastic it's looking. @dablock.bsky.social @gavthorpe.bsky.social @darkmechanic.bsky.social and the rest of the team have done an incredible amount of work, and it shows. #ttrpg #strategy #miniatures

Come get some stark modern horror "seared directly into your retinas" bit.ly/idontbelongh... "I Don't Belong Here", a modern horror RPG sparkbook featuring art by @stregawolf.art Believe Trevor Henderson when he says "this is a beautiful game" @slimyswampghost.bsky.social #horror #ttrpg

I updated this starter pack to include more people who I followed recently. Have a flick through and follow a bunch! Or all of them, or none. I'm not telling you what to do. go.bsky.app/S7ymtWX

Goldfinch charming the pants off the world.

For clarity - I don’t have a dog, or six dogs. I met six dogs on my walk. The number of dogs I meet on a walk directly correlates to how much I’ve enjoyed that walk. Six dogs is a very good walk.

It was a six-dog-walk today. 10/10. No notes.

In the 35 years before privatisation, almost 100 reservoirs were built. In the years since, private water firms haven't built any and sold off 25. After selling off critical infrastructure for profit, water bosses on huge salaries now tell us we're the problem.

Got the place to myself again. Absolute bliss.

We’re quickly heading towards 400 backers on gamefound.com/en/projects/... Which by my calculations means there are still at least 5,200 of you lot that haven’t signed up yet… Solo rules have been unlocked, campaign rules will be added at 500 backers. What are you waiting for?

Loved Andor.

Oh hey, just decided to do a surprise 10% off sale on all orders at newmillindustries.com with the code ENDOFAPRIL at checkout. This will last exactly one week, so don't sleep on it. Thought folks could use some good vibes amidst all the tariff bullshit.

Here’s a sneak peek of ‘part' of my piece for Character in Context, the largest exhibition of original illustration in the Western U.S. opening May 2! At the A.R. Mitchell Museum in Trinidad, Colorado.

I had a wonderful time chatting with Iko about my approach to game design, the essence of horror, the power of tables, and I Don't Belong Here, our current project up on Backerkit. Give it a listen, it's a good time, if I do say so myself. #horror #ttrpg #podcast #radiohead
