I promised myself I’d work on some of my own projects while freelancing this time around, so with that in mind, here’s THE 13 DEMONS OF AKUMA SAIZO.

A 28 page adventure for RONIN. By me. For you.
Hope you like it. :-)

Bond and Ms Innuendo slowly drift to earth on a parachute, debris from the falling Spectre Killsat leaving trails in the sky.

"Oh James, I thought you were dead?"

"Ah, that's a long story, and if I told you I'd have to kill you. And I do have a license to kill..."

*Winks at camera. Roll credits.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

More research. Manga adaptation of Guardians of the Whills, the book by Greg Rucka about Baze and Chirrut's adventures. Also Dawn of Rebellion, a brilliant source for FFG Star Wars covering the Rogue One / Rebels era.

Cannonball Run is such fun. Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise were such great friends and you can really see that in the blooper reel, which is so funny.

Have had a great day at Fanboy3 playing DCC ably helmed by @amacdon6.bsky.social - great to role dice with @clownf1st.bsky.social @daftoldefart.bsky.social @jaje7406.bsky.social and the rest. Now I'm watching Cannonball Run trying not to think about work and other things.

I mainly bought this for the punny title and really nice artwork, but I am now enjoying the story. Feels like it could have been a 90s TV show. 😂

Birthday film choice by me was The Wrath of Khan, as my mother in law bought me a boxed set of the films. It's fitting as it's Kirk's birthday in the film, as are the themes about accepting mortality and aging. A lot of the plot would work in an age of sail setting. And that score by James Horner. 😍

Some things from my birthday haul. In addition my regular gaming group have given me some cash to spend on a new game. Am considering getting the Root RPG.

Putting together a one-shot from my Rogue One / Jedha Partisans campaign, which might make an appearance at MORPCon and/or Grogmeet in January. Time to make the map of Jedha into more than a sketch...

What the hell is AliExpress and why is all my Redbubble work being sold on there?!!! 🤯
Apparently loads of my work is being sold on that Ali Express, if you're an artist who tries to make a living from your work I suggest you check if your stuff is there too.

Played the opening session of The Sutra of Pale Leaves last night. I'm playing a history professor with an interesting in the weird and occult. My investigator is essentially doomed from the get go but am fully leaning into her fate. 😅

Well this sneaked up on me. The Guardian have described it as "the most gloriously bad TV offering of the year" - I think I'll be the judge of that thank you very much! MGM+ though, not another streaming service! 😅
