I'm very, very ill at the moment, and so I thought I'd cheer myself up by finally grabbing a copy of 'Lancer'. I'm ALWAYS up for some giant robot fights, and I've heard good things about this undeniably epic tome. Plus it's illustrated by Abbadon, one of my favourite comic authors. #rpgtherapy

Spoke to my family yesterday, so obviously woke up today feeling like shit. So which card chose to fall out if the deck as I was shuffling? Sometimes it's painful to accept the Unknown's love; but cards like this show us that it's always out there, holding us in it's heart. #tarottherapy #tarotsky

I've never painted a map using watercolour before; I don't know what possessed me to put one on the front endpapers of my new bullet journal, but here's the result. Based it off of some water marks on my bath mat. Don't know how happy I am, but hey, no going back now! #fantasymaps #bulletjournals

The first TTRPG I ever played was #theoneringrpg, in which a friend played a hobbit named Bandobras Took, 'the Mighty', 'Slayer of Spiders', etc.. (His name got longer every week!) And guess what the first card I ever pulled from my new tarot deck was 🤣. #tarotsky #lordoftherings

It's been a while since I a) played 'The One Ring', and b) played a solo RPG, so thought I'd finally pick up an old character sheet and give 'Strider Mode' a go. It's great. *Of course* it's great. I get to play an old friend of a character, running through Middle Earth, rolling dice. #solorpgs

Wind your neck in, keep your head down, grit your teeth; you're nearly there. How often do our clients tell us they can't go on, right before they have a major breakthrough? They just need to have faith in themselves that they're nearly there. #tarottherapy #tarotsky #therapy

Just a reminder to all the new folks that Neil Gaiman has been credibly accused of sexual assault by five different women, and is almost certainly working behind the scenes with his PR firm to bury the story.
Don’t let him. And don’t follow him. More here:

After years of um-ing and ah-ing, I finally got around to buying 'Torchbearer'. And it's great, like I always knew it would be: gritty, dark, humorously lethal. Now I'm wondering how much fun it might be to put my clients through the Grind... 😆

I've always thought of the seven of wands as 'my' card. It has a very, "Come on, you bastard!" sensibility to it; if I'm going down, you're coming with me. Clients often need a boost to their determination--and this witch is nothing if not determined! #tarottherapy #tarotsky #therapy

My copy of Unnatural Selection, the #Shadowdark supplement, has just arrived, and it's GORGEOUS. Congratulations @dungeondamsel.bsky.social, I'm really looking forward to cracking it open and torturing my players with it 🤣 #ttrpgs #therapy #rpgtherapy

Kitty Kendall has been a friend and colleague of mine for several years, and frankly it's about damn time the world is starting to wake up to the vile behaviour she and others have had to endure. archive.ph/lgX09

The Moon truly is the psychoanalyst's card. It calls us to explore the fears and illusions (often formed in response to trauma) that plague us, and to release those defense mechanisms which no longer serve us. So take a leaf out of Red Sonja's book and fight! #tarottherapy #tarotsky #tarot #therapy

Many thanks to Seamus Conneely over at Cannibal Halfling Gaming for his frankly humbling review of my book. I've never heard my writing described as "a friggin' Stargate" before, but I think it might be my single favourite piece of feedback ever!
