How about a whole new setting to use with Asher's Ridge, complete with a "limited series" string of episode longlines to play through? Stay tuned.
A book mockup featuring a lighthouse set against a green-gold sky. The title is "No one lives in Port Robert (Anymore). 

To the left of the mockup text reads "Next time(crossed out) year on Asher's Ridge..." 

To the right of the mockup text reads "In December 1951 the population of Port Robert and the island of Calraithe disappeared overnight. No-one knows what happened to this day.

In 2026 you got the greenlight for a limited series television show: 
No one lives in Port Robert (Anymore). 

You decide to film on location. There’s one problem: It’s October 1951, and you’ve no way home."

High in the halls of Gateless Zantenelle weep the great Gods! The sages speak in single voice: “Death and doom and fury shall befall those who burnt Aedica On-White-Cliffs!” Our new mythic fantasy #TTRPG Atrapos is live NOW on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...
Mockup of Atrapos, a doomed mythic fantasy roleplaying game. The hardcover book has a mosaic cover showing a godly figure with a heavy build, a bushy beard and a bare chest. He holds a ship like a toy in his hands, the ocean flowing out between his fingers. The mockup floats on an illustrated background of two chariots riding towards each other into battle with "just launched kickstarter" logo on the bottom.

\stolen off a friend. This is so true. Got a flyer from our local little theatre about a Gilbert & Sullivan production they're staging. Was mildly interested until I realised it was all done with AI slop. It went in the bin.
An anti-AI post that reads: Your AI event posters: - use fake fonts that cannot be read easily by the visually impaired or those with Dyslexia. - are crowded and over-stimulating, hiding the important details and information. - use mixed, muddied, and unappealing colors. -are hated and ignore by the younger generation, artists, and environment activists. I made this poster in 20 minutes. It's clear, concise, and easy to read. Intent matters, your vent matters. Stop the slop. Artists against AI.

New favourite for my VHS collection. I wanted a B/W version and I could only find colourised tapes in the UK. Managed to snag this on eBay, NTSC version from Japan. Thankfully works in my UK TV/VCR. Beautiful copy, in English with Japanese subtitles. With trailers for Night, Martin, and The Crazies.
Japanese version of Night of the Living Dead on VHS. Beautiful black, white, and red colour scheme.
