If you are a tech bro billionaire, you can delete the receding hairline your ancestry has saddled you with and replace it with a tight-knit block of follicular robo-growth, you can change your face, change public opinion en masse via the misinformation you spread via your digital platform and the more moderate and considered voices you are able to algorithmically drown out, send rockets to space, buy yourself a position at the forefront of political life despite being singularly unqualified for such a position. You can, because of all this, probably convince yourself there is in fact *nothing* you cannot do. But here you will be incorrect. What you can't do is ever be a reflective, compassionate human being who can grasp, with any feeling, the harm of your actions. The bubble of unreality you have constructed around yourself - the one which no longer contains anyone who tells you the truth- will be too well-insulated for that to be possible. You would probably believe you are enhancing your legacy with each additional chunk of power you purchase if you hadn't already dismissed the concept of "legacy" due to your conviction that, for yourself (although not for the minions) you can invent everlasting life. But, despite what you have convinced yourself, one day you will, just like everyone else, die. In the final moments, you will be reduced to something frail and helpless. You billions will not grant you an exemption from that. Maybe right then, in that reduced state, the last thing you will see is the true horror of what you were: the rippling evil of all the choices you could have made with your money and didn't, and the repercussions for the planet. Then it will be over. Those voices who said, "Fucking love that dude, he really tells it like it is - I wanna be rich like hime one day!" will fade. All that will remain will be the more rational and sane voice of history above your grave, announcing "Here lies the most heinous piece of shit imaginable."

The Edge of Total Oblivion Lorgar, 11,546,002, lives in a massive eldritch tower in the heart of the Daemon World of Sicarus, where neverborn abominations crawl into his carcass strewn chapel and the Liber Chaotica and "The Liber Malefic" - two books he was reading whilst he was writing "Testamentum Veritas" - sit on his inner sanctum's blood and ichor stained altar. He rides around in a void scarred Gloriana-class battleship, like a Lana Del Rey song come to life.

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.
A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan) screaming in pain in front of two horrified security guards. Text reads: “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”

As promised, I've bundled together everything I've released on itch for @morkborg.com. 7 adventures, 2 pamphlet adventures, 2 soundtracks, and a short story for £50, or 34% off everything (because it makes the £10 adventures £6.60 and that's fun).

Hurrah! My article on the Twilight 2000 RPG in the Journal of American Studies is now open access (OA), so anyone who wants to can have a read. OA is important to me, as I want my work on RPG history to go beyond the academy and reach the gaming public.

You know a country by its values. By what a country values. And it turns out thatwhat a country values can change overtime. Sometimes, though, there's a sort of cognitive delay between the country you think you are in, and the country you've actually become. For example, you can keep selling yourself, to foreigners, as the country of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, and luring busloads of tourists to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath, and put a statue of George Orwell in front of the BBC, and imagine yourself a cultured and literate nation, which the rest of the world admires for its devotion to the written word - but if you then chronically underfund your cultural institutions, and treat your cultural workers with contempt, many people will suspect you of being full of it. And as the decades pass - and fewer and fewer Shakespeares and Austens and Orwells emerge from your little island - even more people will begin to suspect that in truth you do not value culture at all, and are in fact running a giant heritage museum in which the only cultural workers you respect are the dead ones.
