If you watch the show on Netflix on Sunday, know that behind the big screen is a curtain and behind *that* are seats full of people who can't see a fucking thing but are still having a little rave
It was really great
It’s always striking to me to consider ideas that have enough expressions in game form that I could (or have) build a whole class around them.
Regency? Sure.
Physical Book Weirdsies? Duh.
Ideas of Language? You bet.
Concepts of Divinity? Damn right.
Murderous Undergrads? WORRYINGLY SO.
Can confirm that the zero view seats at Harry Styles do in fact have zero view
My new Wretched & Alone game Blood In The Margins is out now! You killed someone on campus with your friends. Journal about the victim, the justifications, the investigation closing in.

I've been having so much fun working on this
I've been a lifelong fan of Tunnels & Trolls. We acquired it and are re-imagining it via a big Kickstarter. There is magic and monsters but someone needs to dig out the latrines and make bread.

a dungeon game is grimdark dungeon crawling focused on body horror and the consequences of violence. It's a super fast system with loads of free tools online, and it's pay what you want. More here:

Very jealous
I watched it again on a tiny back-of-seat screen on the way to Mexico last year and even at that size, with subtitles and no audio, it's fucking incredible
People think I'm being a pretentious film bro when I say it's one of my all time favourite films but it 100% deserves its reputation. It's a stone cold classic.
No I will not be listening to the new Harry Styles album today actually because we got free tickets to ONO so I'm going to wait and hear it live, thank you very much
A Dungeon Game is here and it's free! (It's been both of those things for ages tbh)
Explore subterranean depths, face dragons, and discover what lurks beneath. It's classic dungeon crawling with modern design (i.e. it's good).

People who play albums on shuffle, who hurt you?
THE THING FROM THE SWAMP is B-movie creature horror for Mörk Borg. Schlocky, brutal, fun in a trashy way.

Honestly could do with some of that magic again
Shut Up & Sit Down help up a copy of The Wretched for roughly 16 seconds and I sold out a print run.
Dicebreaker covering A Dragon Game made me a couple of thousand pounds, too
Today on Reddit: a man arguing with his full chest that there isn't any implied sexual violence in *checks notes* Hellraiser
It's so difficult, not being the target audience for absolutely everything

I still need to read King Sorrow. And this has just made me realise I never got around to The Fireman either, I should fix that!
Hilariously I have an almost identical story
beware the Children of Silver Jenny
and the sound of cicadas at night
or the voices of the missing
they hunt they hunt they hunt

Oh shit
Reverse dungeon crawls are good actually. CANDLE is one. Escape or die trying.

100%. I wish it wasn't true that the bad interactions are the ones that you remember the most but it really is
Yeah I really wish I'd figured out a way to not do my own fulfilment early on 😅 You live and learn though, and the upside is that I have really good relationships with the vast majority of my customers
It's very, very funny how often people chase orders the day before it arrives. It genuinely delights me
