The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

Calpini was my first AP after an extended break from the space, and it was truly a great experience and a really fun story to tell with a wonderful table.

Plus, I got to be part of the EUphoria fam because of it. 🥰💚
Happy anniversary to our unsettling, gruesome a dungeon game 2-shot, Calpini! GMd by designer Steph, @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social and featuring Kieran, @masquewren.bsky.social, @ayfa.me and @diceandeasy.bsky.social

Skulk down memory lane, or catch it for the first time on YouTube!

I can't wait to play this one - have some lovely dishonest ideas circling around up in my noggin.

Do yourself a favour and back this project! You get to lie to yourself! Recreationally!
About 60 quid away from making a whole second zine! Everyone who backed at £5 or more will get a digital copy for free and there will be the option to add on a physical copy to your pledge at a heavy discount.

And of course you still get all the dishonest goodness of Lie To Him
Lie To Him - A solo roleplaying game about dishonesty
Lie To Him is a solo game exploring themes of honesty and dishonesty, trust and mistrust. The zine will include original artwork, professional layout and fully play-tested rules.

I'd never played a solo game all the way through before, didn't think they were for me.

Then I tried out @mumblemegs.bsky.social's "Betwixt" & by golly I really enjoyed writing that sad tale of defiance & acceptance.

Thank you Megan. I needed this weird little gift. 💚

Outrageously good. Totally nailed the vibe of Impossible Landscapes and the look of our characters.

Just masterful stuff. (I would recommend commissioning Per asap, it's SOOOO worth it.)
I made this Delta Green commission for @ayfa.me and her Crew of Boss Lady agents facing the King.
So happy with how it turned out, makes me want to take some vacation in carcossa again

This past 30 days has SUCKED. Like real bad.

BUT today I get to play games with dear friends again and things are slowly becoming better. Grateful for the sun.

Aughnacliffe Dolmen • Longford

Aughnacliffe is one of the most remarkable and distinctive of all of Ireland’s portal tombs.

Despite looking somewhat precarious, it has stood here for more than 5,000 years.

Hi #portfolioday
My name is Per and I’m a warm blooded, bipedal illustrator who loves doing non artificial and non intelligent art and is looking for projects to participate with other (not necessarily homeothermic but at least passionate) humanoids!

The last week has been incredibly traumatic, stressful, shocking, etc. Near-tragedy doesn't pay attention to seasons or holidays.

It's not much of a Christmas for me, but I just wanted to give my most loving wishes to everyone who has touched my life this year. I'm grateful beyond expression.

December 20th. A partially rubberised torso stands on the corner of Edward Street and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing.

I commissioned a little party portrait of our Warhammer Fantasy blorbos and oh GOSH

The joy of supporting artists. The excitement before you get the art. The THRILL of seeing your little dudes on the page. The ENORMOUS LOVE of showing it off to the rest of the party and them loving it too. 😍🥹🥰💚

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.

You alright man? I keep seeing small damage numbers coming off you

While I dig through my sofa cushions to find enough cash to get one of these, go check out Per's work and commission him yourself. His art is TOOOOO good. Look at those vibes. Mwah, mwah, pristine.
Still looking for some nerdy Holiday gifts?
How about some character portrait or other commission that helps an artist to pay his rent!
It’s been a rough few months and I’m open for any kind of work!
All themes, all projects, be it commercial or private

The Lissava Dolmen • Tipperary

You can find this portal tomb hidden away in Scaragh Wood, close to the town of Cahir in South Tipperary.

Based on excavated examples, it likely dates to the earlier to middle part of the Neolithic period, making it around 5,500 years old.
