Without doubt one of the greatest game pieces ever @paverson.bsky.social, and yes, I did end up with it. Live Luthier, going right next to Distilled. Great UKGE buy!

Coming together nicely - working out the finer points of the quickstart pack and going through the main core rulebook so they can be available reasonably close together. Thanks to @modiphius.bsky.social for their world building community content program!

I've been told I don't advertise myself enough. Which to be fair is true. Here is my RPG I've been developing. Brethren of the Coast, a pirate themed RPG set in the golden age of piracy! Quickstart pack nearly ready, core rulebook a little bit less than ready lol.

Ok. Game stuff.
I landed a dream gig. Literally.
The “drop whatever you’re doing now, son” kind.
Sadly I won’t be able to talk about it for at least a year.
So instead I can only tease.
I love teasing.

I still can't get through 12 Days of Christine from Inside No 9 without tearing up. @sjpemberton.bsky.social and @reece-shearsmith.bsky.social and all the cast were amazing.

When I complain about overdevelopment in games its almost always due to stuff like this
Adding complexity and cruft to mitigate "feel bad" moments that themselves are just dogmatically accepted as "must avoid"
Most of the best, most enduring games have "feel bad" moments
It's a feature, not a bug
