A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

Next month I will launch Cairn Press. I tried to make a publishing agreement that is fair, free, and mutually beneficial. Once the lawyer approves final contract I'll release it as CC-BY-SA, if possible. I've also written up a "plain English" version that you can read here: cairnpress.ink#terms

Trans TTRPG designers, especially if ur bi-poc, I wanna collaborate on a project I'm crowdfunding this Fall. Caged in a Flesh Mech is my coming out magnum opus as a baby queer & genderfluid person. I want the whole team to be diversely queer.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:
A post by c.a.t.y.a.y that reads, "I wonder what my art could've been if I didn't quit". Iggy responds, "I wonder what it will be if you start again"

So, in one of the areas of Castle Nachtenthal you may encounter some living statues... When designing, my nerd mind went straight to Doctor Who (obviously) Rhen I thought, why not do biblically accurate weeping angels? Then I drew one and it was shite, so here's the final compromise I settled on:
An angel statue with eyes covering the wings and a halo wrapping around.

Really enjoying sketching out monster concepts for Assault on Castle Nachtenthal... Most won't make the final game (largely due to space) but really helps me with the writing... Also the new tablet was a fantastic investment (new S Pen is a massive upgrade) 😁 #ttrpg
