A couple of spooky (and short) RPGs I’ve written in the past year - ideal for GMs looking for something low effort and terrifying to run this Hallowe’en 🎃 🦇
Ran our final session of Impossible Landscapes last night. The timer for the final scene really ramps up the tension - RPG magic! 👑

RPG production people, a humble request from your old pal Sam: uncoated paper, please! it feels nicer on your fingertips, it sounds nicer to turn, and most importantly you can write on it! I love to annotate my RPG books, but glossy pages make that difficult. if you're printing an RPG, go uncoated 🙏

This looks ace. The ducks too 🦆
Is there something in the lake at Asher's Ridge? 👀
More 'mostly finished' artwork for my next game.
Asher's Ridge is a GM-less #ttrpg for 1-4 players where you direct and play through a paranormal drama TV show. Inspired by Twin Peaks and The X-Files.
