I have more commissions available now

it is £45 for a character sheet which includes a character and many items or £10 for just a single character
If you would like something more complicated that is also ok and the price is then negotiable!

Please send a message if you are interested, thank you!

In response to some of the comments:

If you agree with *all* the reporting of a news organisation that is both independent *and* non-partisan, then it's very unlikely to be independent and non-partisan.

This is true regardless of your politics.

Agreeing with all its reporting is the wrong test

If I were in charge then very high up on my list of very important priorities would be extra leg room for tall people on flights

I'm 5'1" and I used to only date men 6' and taller. I had a weekend away with an especially tall man who suffered after the hellish cramped seating for him on the flight out. Ruined weekend. Turns out there's more to dating than tall men. Height is no longer the measure.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

What wonderful news to wake up to this morning. A backlash to the recent ascent of populism and division.

Thank you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the denizens of NYC for the beacon of hope 🙏❤️

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.

My Commando story about Indian soldiers in WW1 - The Lions of Ypres - managed to get a 2 page feature this past Sunday in the @sunday.post. Very thankful for the feature by the delightful Stephen Gallacher.

Commando: The Lions of Ypres will be out this Thursday! Go pick up a copy! 😉

I was talking to a younger local artist who's having trouble figuring out specifically what he wants to do, and you know, it got me thinking about what a dadgummed boon it is to have a very specific lane down which you intend to travel. 1/

Just gonna pin this to the top of my account - with a reminder that pre-orders really help (bookshops order stock in if they see pre-orders are high). Coming out in May ‘26. Thank you! www.waterstones.com/book/noisy-v... #graphicnovels #books #rhondda #protest
Noisy Valley tells stories of protest from the Rhondda. It is social history… it is a defence of the right to protest… it is a love letter to this feisty community.
