Before I became aware of AI-Gen images, I was eagerly doing my best to try and add illustration to my (now shelved) RPG project - I'm now never going to use this silly icon, so if anyone wants a rather low quality but human bit of RPG art, here it is, CC0 for free use, please take it for whatever-

Huh? More table top scale mini's for some 'Joe' action...
Sounds like a reason to spam about my universal skirmish system: In-Action: afour-games.itch.io/in-action

Just needed to share this little Battletech beauty from the display of my FLGS- Grimdice. (Not mine!)

I did it! with a few days of slightly more aggressive online presence, I persuaded someone to download a copy of CosmoCrawler to hit the 💯download on my itch account!
100 Downloads, and I've still got so many projects to release! These few are just the entrée - a mere amuse-bouche of games.

Come on #Tabletop #Nerdlings Buy my games! I'm 1 away from 100 downloads!
I got something for everyone: Wargames / RPG's
Sci-fi, Post-apoc, Historical, Modern, Pulp...
Literally: My game In-Action covers all genre's - and is the only one not yet sold on Itch.
Who'll be #100?

I'm not about to retire from this, but I'm proud that I've 'done the thing': selling my own creations. Nearly 100 downloads! (most the free game: CosmoCrawler, but it counts!)

Currently doing a TERRIBLE job of making a digital version of a tabletop game I made
No graphics yet because- Pshhh who needs eye-candy when {check notes} nothing works yet
I'd you'd like to or care to check out what this is based on- it's right here (for free!) > afour-games.itch.io/cosmoscrawler

Decided to write a bit of a hobby blog about scifi hobby crossovers #BattleTech vs #Warhammer40k
afour.games/2025/10/
It's just the nerd stuff leaking from my head, but perhaps some of the #Nerdlings may enjoy it.

I was recently engaged in an interesting conversation about the presentation of games rules (art vs text) and while it got a little off topic about AI use in the hobby space, I note that just a short interaction has cause an uptick on my afour-games.itch.io page. I hope folk enjoy CosmoCrawler. 🚀

Well, it took an entire day (& most of a night) but I flipped beast-mode on & finished the dang game project.
Currently only visible within the game jam, but once it's finished I'll open it to the public.
Ladle's & Jellybeans, I present: The Long Walk - an unwinnable post-apocalypse story game.

I joined a new game jam on itch.io & am regretting it. Making another NEW game is pulling at my head and I have zero concentration.
For anyone interested, it's a themed roguelike no-win game- you play only to make the story, there is no way to succeed.
If you ever played 10 Candles- you'll know.

Nowhere near finished yet... But I'm working on the printable play-mat style ship design for CosmoCrawler, please enjoy this WIP

Come on folks- someone must have an opinion about my games?
They might be small numbers, but my imposter syndrome fuelled anxiety craves feedback!
To all #Tabletop #TTRPG and #Wargaming #Nerdlings out there, consider supporting my passion, have a look at the games I offer:

I'm trying something a little different, Need to keep 'driving traffic' (I hate what I've become...)
So, if perhaps you want a roguelike space-faring RPG-lite adventure for whatever reasons; I offer CosmoCrawler for free (or for donation!) & now- at the behest of a QR code to go to the itch page.

Hey, do you guys fancy stocking my game: CosmoCrawler?
That is to say: Do you have a printer in store you could print it out for folk 🖨️ ?
It's a free download, but why not give it away in store to unsuspecting folk...

Hey Tabletop Gamers - I'm a little sad.
Just look at the drop-off of my itch- No views (and no downloads) over the last two days 🥺
And still not one copy of In-Action has sold.
Are there no wargamers that are into trying indie stuff? Help a guy out and just take a look.

A slightly different view of that Mecha I made, still no actual name but in the rules it is now dubbed the Havok Striker, still need to tinker with the way my Blender Shader actually renders, aiming for a Battletech TRO feeling, but not there yet.

I wanted some artwork to add into the Minute Mechs rules sheet- I could have doodled a mech- I could have just prompted AI to make an image- I could have commissioned it-
But no, instead I made a 3d model to then render to an image...
Why am I like this?

A little under-armoured but can dish out some trouble.

With a little effort and a lottle swearing, I've forced Blender to make Battltetech TRO-like renders... here's the yet to be released Huscarl from my model and the original TRO artwork, I think I can dial it in a little closer still and I might tweak some bits of the model more...

Working more on rigging the Gurkha- I decided to ignore bone rigging and just go right into parented mechanical rigging, it's much quicker to do and I only need one or two poses, not like this is a game asset or anything🤷♂️
