It is strange, after thirty odd years, to finally find oneself.
2025 was transformative, personally and professionally. And there are so many to thank. For your art, your inspiration, and your friendship.
There is not nearly enough space to put my gratitude into words. But I will certainly try.

After @rpgeeksdnd.bsky.social's acclaimed Blackstar, it was inevitable that our cast would reunite for another story this year.
And so it was that @soulmuppet.co.uk's Inevitable was chosen, as a cadre of cowboy knights trekked across the wastes to deliver a coffin to its final resting place.
