It's my birthday today and of course I woke up to the gloomy British weather. 🌧️ Would be great if folks would tell me what they like about my work or buy my games (which are 33% off on itchio). 🙏

I did strongly consider that one, but thought it might be well to limit myself to two editions. For the moment, anyway.

I do like The Mezzotint. A View from a Hill is also a favourite of mine, although I wish he'd done a little more with the concept in the story. Despite writing in a similar vein to James, I hadn't actually read his work at all before this year! LOTR, however, I am very familiar with. 😄

I had considered setting up a Patreon account so that folks can support my writing (and simultaneously pressure me into doing more of it), but it would be a case of 'give me money and maybe you'll get a postcard one day', rather than any regular reward, and I'm not sure how widely that would appeal.

I may have bought one for the comprehensive content and the other for the cover. 😅

“I heard one cry in the night, and I heard one laugh afterwards. If I cannot forget that, I shall not be able to sleep again.” M.R James from ‘Count Magnus’ collected in ‘Ghost Stories of the Antiquary’.

They are, and that sucks, but I'm completely distracted by how impractical this looks as a popcorn container. It looks like a child has shoved popcorn into the battery compartment of an animatronic model more than it looks like something actually designed to hold popcorn.

Did I need two versions of M.R. James's ghost stories? No. Do I have any regrets about my purchases? Also no. Anyway, I've had Yet Another Idea for a new TTRPG scenario collection. 😅 Does anyone want to give me a pile of money to live on so that I spend all my time actualising all these ideas?

On a lilac-coloured felt desk mat, two hardback books are stacked at an angle to one another. On the lower book, the title is mostly obscured and only a skull motif is fully visible on the black cover. On the upper book, an ornate reflective pattern features books and skulls; the title text reads:
'THE
GHOST
STORIES
OF M.R.
JAMES
Edited by Roger Luckhurst
THE BRITISH LIBRARY'

In the top-right corner of the image, a wooden kumiko coaster is just visible under the bottom of a glass of water.

For a few months, back in 2010, I worked on Wardour Street and would cut up Hanway Street to catch the 134 from the bottom of Tottenham Court Road. I don't think I ever actually went into Bradley's, but merely passing it regularly has left me peculiarly fond of the place!

I confess that I was thinking more along the lines of a scenario, but neat idea!

If it didn't weigh so much, I'd offer to post you the giant tiling artwork I made for TERMINUS. 😅

It'd be really cool to structure the display as a choose-your-own-exhibition. 'Item 6 This linocut artwork is the cover of [game], a fantasy system from [x]. Do you want to see another fantasy game? If so, see item 12. If not, see item 20 for another hand-made cover.' (Or something like that.)

That's a great opportunity but an incredibly broad subject – the mere notion is overwhelming! My inclination would be to narrow the theme down a little. Do you want a general sampler of art styles? A display of the different elements (e.g. cover, layout, components)? An array of global TTRPG styles?

I have an unusual opportunity: I've been offered the opportunity to display the visual art of a tabletop roleplaying game in one of our campus galleries for 6 months. What game and artists (including layout designers) would you recommend? We'd need to be able to set this up quickly!

Hello! I'm having fun putting together three samples for this and just wanted to check – a couple of my samples are likely to be from horror narratives, so would you like me to include content warnings for the samples? If so, I could put the CWs in the cover letter or at the top of the samples?
