I have started streaming on Twitch. It's just for fun; I have no illusions about being a Big Time Streamer™ but if I'm going to play the games anyway, I may as well stream...

The squats are back in Warhammer 40,000! Although we're not calling them squats any more. Now they are the LEAGUES OF VOTANN: Hang on, that sigil looks familiar... I still...

Remember when they were developing D&D5 and they said it would be compatible with prior editions, and you could run characters from different editions in the same party? That...

Ropecon 2022 is happening in Helsinki right now! Lamentations of the Flame Princess is there and I drew this for the cover of the Ropecon-exclusive catalogue. (With many...

I'm just putting this here for later. There's nothing to see. Nothing at all. Nothing. #JULYGANTIC (sort of)

From an upcoming adventure!
-
This is an advert for my book Strict Time Records Must Be Kept. Sort of. Ish. It looks like I completely forgot to mention that I'd written the book, or that it was out, so er,...
-
This small, scrappy shield -- almost a buckler -- is made from the stretched face of some hideous swamp-dwelling creature, and was created by an insane goblin wizard, or so the...

This is a withered severed leg with dirty bandages wrapped around the stump. Two-handed club. The wielder counts as unarmed for any relevant effects or purposes. For example,...

I loved Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! But then I've been a Sam Raimi fan since I was about 10, and the film is more or less Evil Dead 4 with a Marvel budget. I...

We've been playing D&D5 again. Our GM has lost his fancy magnetic imitative tracker, a gadget he's been using since the days of D&D4, so that got me thinking about how to track...

Here is a very generous review of my adventure Terror in the Streets: The adventure is available in print in Europe here and in North America here; the fancy boxed set version...

I'm not sure what this is or why it popped into my head.

My group is playing its way through Patrick Stuart's Silent Titans on Sunday nights. It's going fairly well. Sort of. The players have just left a coastal village in which the...

-
Years ago, I stumbled upon a film version of The King in Yellow, or at least something associated with the entity. I seem to remember that it was either a short film, or a...

It's #DrawDeathsHeadDay the most wonderful holiday of the year! I would apologise for the pun, but you should never apologise for a good pun. Nor indeed a terrible one.
-
I've got a couple of new books coming out soon, and so I'm thinking about cover designs. Prompted by a discussion over at House to Astonish, I found myself nostalgic for a very...
-
We're still playing Silent Titans, although I am expecting my players to revolt very soon. Here are some pictures. Eliuda Octave, an NPC, who is described as a "historian" but...
-
There is a half-decent idea here. Let's take Ravenloft... Wait, what's a Ravenloft? Right, so it's Dungeons & Dragons does Universal -- or if you have excellent taste, Hammer...
-
Last weekend, my group started playing Patrick Stuart's -- not that one -- weird sandbox adventure Silent Titans. I haven't yet decided if I'll post game summaries, as I don't...
