We've coupled it with Agatha Christie's 'The Rats', it which I play a not-at-all suspicious chap! #agathachristie #therats

Some shots from last week's performance of my stage adaptation of 'The Rats in the Walls'. Bit of a change from writing games, eh? #hplovecraft #rats #theatre

I've written a play, which is premiering in just under a month! My adaptation of Lovecraft's The Rats in the Walls in being performed alongside one of Agatha Christie's one act plays (in which I'm also playing a most unsavoury character). #agathachristie #hplovecraft

Managed to get some good pics of the eclipse with an old SLR, battered zoom lens, and the eclipse glasses I got last year. Now in handy GIF format.

We did a photoshoot at the NMR for a productdon of 'Hello Dolly' in 2022. They kindly let us have the run of the station hall for free but we had to be out by opening time. They were very easy to work with.

First meet the leading actor: my Jules Richard Vérascope (c.1909) with a roll film back. Had to bodge a conversion to 35mm film and fix a few light leaks but it's a fab camera

In that case, we're performing a double bill of Lovecraft's 'The Rats in the Walls' (new adaptation) and Christie's 'The Rats' in October.

Still think @petedoom.bsky.social's cover for Lost and Found in my favourite of all my CoC scenarios. Got to love that vintage railway vibe.

New addition to the writing desk - a Wren pen from #tomstudio. Refillable fibre-tip that uses fountain pen ink. First impressions very favourable, and suspect this will become my go to travel pen for the foreseeable.

First read-through of the double-bill I'll be directing in October, featuring all the rodents! Fun fact: Agatha Christie and HP Lovecraft were born less than a month apart (Aug/Sept 1890). #AgathaChristie #HPLovecraft #TheRats #TheRatsInTheWalls #Theatre

2025 in books: I didn't read as much this year as I planned (partly due to our new small human). Again the list is pretty much dominated with sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Definitely gravitated towards collections of short stories, although Varney the Vampire more than redressed the balance!

250 years ago today #JaneAusten was born. Little did she know that her works would go on to inspire a trilogy of ttrpg scenarios (alongside a myriad of other works). To celebrate, Host and Hostility, my ENNIE award winning trio of 1-to-1 #RegencyCthulhu scenarios, is discounted to $2.50! 1/3

After picking up a copy of the Mythos CCG I've spend the evening cobbling together decks, but keep getting distracted by the artwork...
