This was a great chat with Jes Goodwin as we meandered through John Blanche’s work and influences.

The Odyssey. I initially found the American accents jarring and chided myself — it’s not any worse than English accents, after all. Then, as the drama unfolded, I realised what that decision meant. I will watch this one again; I have theories and I want to see how deep they go.

We’re going to watch Event Horizon, my favourite 40K prequel movie, for reasons…

We have finally arrived at our seats for @criticalrole.bsky.social at Edinburgh Castle. We were guided up here by the lovely staff, who were super cool. Thanks to @kyleshire.bsky.social for the tickets. Best graduation present for Josie and Abbie, ever! :D

It is Sunday morning and our kickstarter for Embers of Humanity has entered its final week so I thought I’d write a bit about how this RPG came to be. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mem...

Tabletop Scotland @tabletopscot.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
With just 54 days to Tabletop Scotland, and with sportsball being all the rage it seemed fitting to post this today given that in 1954 Scotland appeared at their first ever World Cup. 1/2
Image shows the logo for Tabletop Scotland, which is at the Royal Highland Centre on the 4th to 6th September. The logo has a meeple with a saltire flag as the colour, and a traffic cone on it's head akin to the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow.
The header "Tabletop Scotland" has been graffitied to say No Tabletop Scotland, No Party! instead, in homage to the Tartan army.

I remember doing the first map of this sector a very, very long time ago.

I’ve been on the train so many times these last few weeks that the staff know me well enough to guess what I’ll order. As I await my food, this time I’m going to tap away at some rule design.

Big day ahead. My eldest graduates with a first in game design and production. Lindsay and I are currently awaiting our train to take us there. This will be a very welcome diversion from the recent stresses concerning my mum’s health.

Since some of you asked, this is the progress of the new @lawhammer.bsky.social studio so far. The build is in our back garden and sits opposite my office. Still lots to do, but the core building is finished.

On fanart, here is a brilliant piece by Ash of Birdie in one of her less controlled moments that was posted in the @lawhammer.bsky.social Discord. You can join us over there at this link: tinyurl.com/LAWhammerDis...

I will never tire of @lawhammer.bsky.social fanart! Thanks for this one, @autumnarchfey.bsky.social! Funny to think how things have changed since this was drawn.

How’s many of you caught the map I did for @criticalrole.bsky.social’s Campaign 4?

And if you haven’t bought it already, go buy Dark Deeds! Coz it’s truly fun (and funny) board gaming awesome, available from @modiphius.bsky.social. I spent far too many hours working on this one.

For those asking, Lorebeards has expanded significantly over the last year. We now cover Warhammer Fantasy, 40K, Age of Sigmar, Roleplaying as a whole, and even have an (infrequent) bookclub. It’s expanded fan beyond anything Ryan or I expected, and we actually employ a bunch of folks now!

We’re no @criticalrole.bsky.social, but I’m still super proud of our wee show. We’re building a new studio in my garden for the second season, so it’s gonna be a wee bit more professional moving forwards.

I’ve been hanging around her for a while with the @lawhammer.bsky.social account, but never sorted a personal presence. I’ve been told it’s time to fix that, so here I am fixing it.
