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.

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. 😍🥹🥰💚

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
Just trying to survive 🧡

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.

Oh Dragonmeet you were so lovely.
An absolute pleasure to see my friends. Of course I took no photos as I was too excited all the time, & I missed some people that I wanted to see, but otherwise it was a true joy of a weekend. 💚
If anyone needs me I'll be in a blanket experiencing severe con drop.

Wahoo! Dragonmeet is around the corner and I'm excited to see my pals (again, and for the first time!)*

Pardon me, my colleagues and I are off to explore the basement of a hotel in a twisted version of 1920s New York using my previously severed finger as a guide.

I was lucky enough to play this with the creator as our GM & the vibes were so good. Weird moon, creepy temple, corrupted priestess, bloody combat - all in that delicious OSR flavour I love so much.
