Sonic Con UK was a blast! Didn't grab nearly as many cosplay photos as last year but it was a great time and so many great costumes too

PACKING HEAT: Out Now!

Packing Heat is the ultimate set of skirmish rules for the modern era. With extremely deadly combat, tons of cinematic flair, and a Game Deck that keeps both players on their toes, no two games are the same!

A whole lotta signed books - the loose paper on page 1 is to stop any excess Sharpie ink from my signature from making a mess!

Whisper made me break Mobius Tabletop's "Archie Characters Only" rule simply because she's that cool

I even commissioned a redesign piece @foxdrows.bsky.social because I wanted her to align more with Archie Wolves™️ design philosophy of "very tall"

Heads-up: if you visit: ioandaviesjohn.com or standingready.games (the homepages) between now and the 20th of September you'll be automatically redirected to the Packing Heat info page of my website - I'm sure you can all guess why!

Navigation still works as normal.

This week I've cracking on with the final edits for Packing Heat, including adding Faction #19.

That's quite hard to portray in a single picture, so here's footage of a shootout ending in a Downed gangster instead!
