The Bank Holiday is almost upon us, and we're shutting up the institute for a couple of days. The Archivist has slithered off to the catacombs and the rest of the team have flit to their various abodes.

Sent out our Librarian to scare away the monster eating the moon by banging pots and pans together. So many pots and pans. So many arms. #eclipse #library

It does mean that the Archivist and the Librarian have to work together.

Had to coerce our Archivist into updating our website. I mean, I say coerce, but it was a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. Simple food that it can get its tentacles and gums round. Here’s the updated website: bookhouse.uk #archivist #puzzles and #games

I have a new website, I guess? Made a few t-shirts with discount codes hidden in them. Still juggling 2 book releases: 1970s British x-files #ttrpg, & book of essays covering topics such as ontological anarchism, poetical terrorism, subversive joy and the KLF. bookhouse.uk for those interested

In order to provide sustenance for our poor and blighted souls, we have resorted to pulling out some apparel from the archive. Please buy it. It will feed us until the rains come again. bookhouse.uk/collections/... #codedclothing #apparel #tshirt

We are putting the finishing touches to a small 1970s British #folkhorror one-shot #TTRPG. We have hidden a #treasurehunt in it. The prize is a tabletop RPG called Department 23. And its publishing rights. It will never be reprinted or recreated. bookhouse.uk/pages/the-gr...

Still working on my TTRPG. Think The Sweeney meets the X-Files. Ruleset is mostly written and tested. Just looking at making car chases exciting, and then moving onto lore and world building.

Yes! Putting the finishing touches to a TTRPG: think X-Files, but British. And in the 1970s. Like The Sweeney. Am only making one deluxe copy. And you can have it for free. If you solve the treasure hunt i have hidden in a one-shot game based in the same world. FFI bookhouse.uk/shop/publica...
