Back in London for the first time in ages. There's a proper cockney geezer on this train. He's definitely got the hump, and I'm concerned he's going to think I'm trying to mug him off. I'm genuinely not trying to mug him off.

It was a Fall Out Boy song, Doug. Fall Out Boy. 😑

Good news, everyone! We played Gaslands, and it was fantastic.

I was just gonna drive home at lunchtime... This is a way better idea!

Running a game of Gaslands after work tonight! I've spent the last few days getting everything ready. It's gonna be an eight player death race, I've made terrain, painted up a load of kitbashed cars, made custom stat cards... I just got to the office and realised I've left it all at home. 😑

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The great fly fisher JR Hartley has written a book. Go buy a copy. That should pick you up."

It's a terrible time for artists called Alan who go by the short version of their name.

Wait, do you get to play video games while they cut your hair??

I send it to people whenever they ask about it!

Also, resharing this because even two years and several runs later, it absolutely holds up.

Reposting this from Instagram because I don't post enough stuff here. 97 Poets of Revachol (Disco Elysium larp!) was flipping magical. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I can forgive songs from earlier than the 90s, becuase they would have still been in circulation during that decade. But, what, am I supposed to believe in time travel or something??

James M Hewitt @jamesmakesgames.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I'm at a 90s rock day party! They just played a song from 2005 and I wish I could just let that slide, but that's just not who I am.

Thank you! I love building a bit of narrative into stuff like this, using team colours to inspire graffiti etc. Looking forward to adding more!

There's a beta release for the new edition on the Planet Smasher patreon, if you haven't seen it!

Did I tell you I've got a copy of Spacego? Haven't opened it yet, I'm scared to unleash something.

TTRPG people - what are three games you'd get someone to play if you wanted them to understand the hobby?

James M Hewitt @jamesmakesgames.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

This is one of the best things I've ever done, for the record.

James M Hewitt @jamesmakesgames.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Maybe quote this and pass it along, if you like! I'm genuinely curious.

This has "remove sleeve and film" energy, and I'm here for it.

We're still cool though, right? And young and hip and relevant?

Repeating words unexpectedly for comedic effect would be entirely off-brand for Map Men, so I applaud this decision.

Hear the People Sing? I've heard of it, sounds fun!

Just spent a day playing a toxic dickhead at A Play Toward, a contemporary larp set around a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (but with actual fey creatures causing drama). Larping in a theatre was fun! I also got to do "acting" on a big stage, which was weirdly nervewracking.

The game that grabbed my attention the fastest was Dialect. I've loved the idea since I saw the Kickstarter, but I've never actually played it. Need to fix that.

My first writing credit on a ttrpg was The Great Beast of Dupont, a zine adventure for Best Left Buried.

First game I played online was Band of Blades, which I ran over lockdown. I was lucky enough to have an incredible trio of players, and we told an epic story together.
