If it’s in this category, I had nowhere else to put it!
I’ve been getting headaches recently. I know what these ones are. As a glasses-wearer since I was about 7 (short-sightedness), this is eye strain. Just when your prescription starts to shift out of that sweet spot, and one — or maybe both — eyes are straining to focus, albeit unnoticeably, the headaches come. In addition… Read More
Espaneria So, I’m back from Espaneria (possible spelling of The Midderlands version of Spain). I took a week off to holiday on the south coast of Spain. Visited Gibraltar and saw some of the workforce… to be honest they were arsing around in the sun, eating fruit, pickpocketing, and picking at each other. We walked… Read More

You can get the physical… Read More
Happy 2019! I’m back at the desk. So, not necessarily RPG-related… but it kind of is.

A Christmas present because I asked for… Read More

An astounding achievement. None of this is achievable without you folks out there, reading this. The commission clients, product customers, fans,… Read More
There has been a high demand for commission works on the run up to Christmas and afterwards, and also I need to prepare for the upcoming February Kickstarter for The City of Great Lunden – City Setting book. I will no longer be accepting commissions unless they are for work after the end of January… Read More
Posted as is, to see what feeds back…

Anyone that played the Fighting Fantasy books as a kid will remember how magical they were. Turning the pages to reveal the next part of the fantastic story. Battling foes with dice and pencil. This crowdfunding project is for a PC/Mac game — which could also make it to other platforms — and continues the… Read More
