These scruffy pies look like they've been in a fight, but it's taste that counts, and these taste... weird. The pastry is soft, just how I like it, but also has a nice bite to...
-
Asda again! We've got to the part of the testing where other people shove pies at me to eat. I'm not complaining. These big pies are full of flavour, but it's mostly in the...
-
Guten Tag! These are big, chunky, confident pies, with a satisfying bite to the pastry. They are a little skimpy on the filling, which has a strong, citrusy tang, but lacks...
-
I picked these up at the same time as the posher ones. These pies are encrusted with sugar and there's an initial hint of a tasty fruity filling, but both are overpowered by...
-
In 2020, Asda produced some solid if unimpressive mid-range pies. This year? The pastry has more of a bite to it than I like, and is almost crispy. The filling is tangy,...
-
The best mince pies of last year were from Tesco. PLOT TWIST!!! These are not as good as they were last year! The pastry is soft and crumbly, which is good, but then there's a...
-
And so it begins. The idea here, if you're new, is to test the mince pies provided by the major UK retailers, plus some classics provided by local Brighton bakers, and then...

This is a very silly joke, and I'm sorry.

I have two(ish) new adventure books out from Lamentations of the Flame Princess! You can get them here. GREEN MESSIAH is about the benefits of both adoption and a vegetarian...

Here's one final piece -- for now -- from Comes Chaos. This is for the travel chapter, and is supposed to depict a landscape corrupted and twisted by the influence of big-C...
-
Here's another piece from Comes Chaos, which is available now in pdf from Running Beagle: I didn't like this one at first, but I sent it over for inclusion anyway, and it turns...
-
And another for Running Beagle! I couldn't find a good paint splatter image, so I ended up making my own and scanning that, which all seems a bit low-fi and analogue, but it...
-
Another piece for Running Beagle Games! Edit: The book is available now! It's called Comes Chaos and you can get it here.

Right, so "Clone Drive" then. I read this story when it came out as individual issues of Death's Head v2 in 2019 and it didn't make much sense then. I got the collected edition...

I drew this for Christopher Mennell. Sort of. I didn't know I was drawing it for Chris at the time. I was drawing it for fun based on something he'd posted online, but he liked...
-
Chaosium was clearing its warehouses at the end of July -- some bargains seem to be available still! -- and I decided to spend some royalty money on H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich...

I love this old article, from White Dwarf #136, because it's so pro-fun and pro-hobby. This is Games Workshop saying "here's a new ork vehicle for you to build and use, and you...
-
This one was inspired by this post at Grognardia. There's something quite compelling about the Chenot, a sort of tentacular dustbin, and I had to draw one of my own.
-
We are looking at getting a new kitchen. Some of the names of the kitchen sets are evocative, most are ridiculous. There's a hint of the pulp adventurer or consulting detective...
-
I have just completed a project that, for creative -- and maybe controversial -- reasons, I can't talk about. Booooo! I have also completed work on another project that I can...
-
LOAD "CHILDAUTOM", 8, 1 ... LOADING .... No one knows where these strange machines originated, not even the machines themselves. Sages and scholars point to the significant...
-
Apparently I started this blog 18 years ago today. I should probably tidy up a bit.
-
Something has gone wrong and the devils have broken through. Hell has come to earth! Literally! Except devils are Lawful, so this particular colony of Hell turns out to be a...
-
I bought Eternal Lies soon after its release in 2013 but Stuart's children were part of our gaming group at the time, and I was aware that the campaign was full of content that...
-
About the size of a chubby pigeon and twice as stupid, these giant insectoid* idiots are most common in the late summer and early autumn months. They are attracted to light,...

Another piece from Green Messiah, coming soon(ish).
-
This enchanted hat provides no special protection -- apart from keeping the rain off your head -- and takes up a head slot, if your game uses such things. It enhances the...

I don't know what this is. It just fell out of my head.

The Green Messiah, from, um, Green Messiah.

Another piece from Green Messiah, coming soonish.
