Fun little project: took receipt of a set of custom dice made by @epoxy-alchemist.bsky.social, based on a vintage Huntley & Palmers Breakfast Biscuits tin. Each die contains a miniature biscuit! Also pictured, two 3D printed 'D2' biscuits.

Just published a supplement for Call of Cthulhu, which features my first ever short story in print (Ex Libris)! It was great collaborating with so many creative minds on this. If you want a collection of 60+ tomes of forbidden lore for your game, check it out!

One of the best parts of coordinating a joint project for publication is seeing how creative everyone is. One of the other best parts is mocking up book covers for tomes that shouldn't exist!

A well deserved win for a fantastic scenario by an amazing author.
Genuinely shocked and amazed to have won the award for Best Scenario for Resort at the Australian Industry Roleplaying Awards.

I am truly grateful to all the playtesters, my friend @johnnylogmar.bsky.social, the fine folks @chaosium.bsky.social and the TTRPG community for their support. 🙏

On the off-chance anyone is around Yorkshire this October, I'm playing the titular Count in this touring theatrical production of Dracula. Just under five weeks to go! All tickets available at linktr.ee/DraculaSH

I made the handouts for this. Grab a copy - it's a great scenario that really hits the right atmosphere!

Ran @sdorward.bsky.social's Catland in our Curse of Nineveh campaign tonight. Most investigators use force or cunning to solve problems. Mine are using bureaucracy and have called an EGM of the Cat Fancier's Association to try and solve a bloody feud. Surely nothing can go wrong!

To mark the 249th 4th of July...

...Colonial Cthulhu by Kevin Ross. Coming soon.

Eighteenth century New England is the foundation of the Cthulhu Mythos and needs its own setting. Now in the last 10% of editing.

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there
