A small huddle of cabins deep in the canyons of a mesa - who could be living here? A quick #ttrpg digital #map for when you need a quick dwelling in the wilderness
Map – Varra’s Gulch
The twisting stones of the borderland mesas conceal secrets and safe places alike. Life is hard in the wilderness, but the shade from the surrounding rocks, and hidden pools where water emerges from the depths make it a little easier. In this map, three cabins huddle in the scarce shade, with laundry strung between the walls of the pathway winding between them.

one of my favorite things about being an artist:
after steadily practicing at illustration for a few years, it's so nice to see how some things I can just "pull off" with quicker facility and ease! seeing my skills increase in real time, i suppose 🎨

Sometimes you need an irredeemable monster in a castle. Meet Lord Carrio, enforcer for the Emerald Claw #ttrpg #npc #dnd #eberron
NPC – Lord Carrio
The popular image of vampires is often one of suave and seductive menace. Broadsheets like The Korranberg Chronicle have sometimes fuelled this trend with tales of moonlit chases across rooftops, and decadent soirees hosted by scarlet-eyed artists. The true nature of these hungry undead is never far from the surface however, and not every culture across Khorvaire is as focused on romantic images.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

A lone castle in the badlands that serves as a stronghold for a semi-retired adventurer and his entourage. A threat, or a refuge? Well that depends on your game. Hey, free castle map! #ttrpg #maps #fantasy
Maps – Badlands Fort
Here's a lone castle in the badlands - a stronghold of a semi retired adventurer perhaps. Good? Evil? Somewhere in between? #ttrpg #maps

Oh same here, Id started with Cockrum X-Men but the sheer dynamism and energy of Geoff Senior and the way his art had been a revelation on transformers. Some of my earliest sketches were based on his art, and while this is very much of its time, theres a lot of elements that still hold up
Dragon’s Claws, gone too soon. The sharp, punchy, dynamic style of Geoff Senior’s art was an early influence on my drawing. Loved his stuff on Transformers.
I have such fond memories of buying these at my local WHSmiths when I was school - Marvel UK was like catnip to 16 year old me, so seeing this pop up unexpectedly yesterday is a huge nostalgia fest plus has early Bryan Hitch artwork and my first sight of Death's Head in it too #comics

Got some new ink on Saturday at Moon Over The Water in Farnham - a woodcut style Ma'at feather as a quill by El, partly as a guiding reminder and partly as a celebration of how successful the opening of the new library has been #librarylife #tattoo

A small map of a public garden, and five system-neutral adventure seeds for your consideration #maps #ttrpg #dnd
Maps – Small Public Garden by Night
I've been doing a lot of playing around with new features in Dungeon Alchemist, and some of that has involved revisiting some older maps. Here's one that I don't think I've used in a live game, but consider a good placeholder It's night time in a formal garden. There's a central fountain lit-up by lamps within an enclosure - and stone benches around it and the hedged boundary.

And suddenly, a new blog entry featuring a visit to the Royal Institution and Ig Nobel winners #ignobel #nightout
An Ig Nobel Night Out
After...a much longer break in writing than I intended, we're back in the room. Life has just been very busy, and if nothing else it's given material to write about down the road. Halloween 2025 would normally probably been spent streaming games online as it was a Friday, but this year I had an invitation from Lady G to go see a conversation between Ig Nobel winners, talking about their work.

Today in Libraryland Ive been working with surveyors and contractors to agree the placement of heat pump units and the relocation of a shed used for supplies and spare furniture. There's a safeguarding meeting later, but am still delighted at the buzz of students revising in study areas #librarylife
