Thanks to the latest Skyrim update, the Lucien mod is now available on PlayStation! There are some bugs currently affecting the new Skyrim update, so you may have to wait for these to be fixed before you can start a proper playthrough. But still, I'm really happy to finally have the port up! Enjoy!

Lucien v1.7.2 is now available on all platforms! Along with a couple of minor fixes, this one a) repairs saves that were made with the bugged Lucien v1.7.0 release and b) introduces backwards-compatibility with outdated Lucien replacers, so you can now use your favourite old Lucien faces again!

I was so lucky to have the mega talented Decize compose this beautiful theme for my Lucien Skyrim follower mod. To me, it perfectly captures his sense of wonder at the world! It plays now in v1.7.0 at key points in his story, but it's here if you'd like to listen online: youtu.be/nnRRzEFCwCA

Heads up, those of you using a mod such as a Lucien replacer that edits his actor record! I made necessary changes to his actor record in v1.7.0, specifically his script that makes him comment when he arrives in places during the main quest and some others!

Lucien v1.7.0 is now available! This update adds around 1000 new lines of dialogue, including interactions with Lucifer the Argonian, 19 more learnable spells, 38 new names, music throughout the mod and optimizations for the Dumzbthar dungeon! #skyrim #skyrimmods #lucienflavius #elderscrolls 11 s

Dropping out of nowhere years late with a tiny interaction patch nobody asked for, here we go: Lucien's Beyond Skyrim - Wares of Tamriel Interaction Patch is now available! 32 new, very silly lines of dialogue related to the ship and items. Enjoy!

Lucien Flavius stands with Cardana Pallo from the Beyond Skyrim: Wares of Tamriel mod.

Just saw Inter Alia at the National Theatre, starring Rosamund Pike @jamieglover.bsky.social and Jasper Talbot. SO good, brilliantly performed and so important and thought-provoking! If I'm ever a dad, this one will be in my head. Should you get the chance, strong recommend!

One day I'd love to record a French dub of my Lucien follower mod and have him become an assassin. But then, what are Lachances of that?

Directed and produced an indie full-cast comedy audio drama about treacle mining as a tribute to my late Dad! It's on Audible now and is extremely silly - think The Goon Show, Hancock's Half Hour, etc. Would love it if you fancy dropping a credit on it? #audiobooks #audiodrama #BookSky 🩵📚 📢📚🎧📚

The Treacle People: Still Sticky is coming very soon! To give it the best launch possible (and hopefully pave the way for more instalments in the future), we're doing our best to promote the show on Prime Video. We wondered if you'd be kind enough to lend us a hand...?

The UK government is currently running a consultation on AI in the arts, and whether it should be regulated. It closes today! There are a lot of questions, but you only have to answer as much as you want to. If you have some time, and like me feel that art should be protected, please fill it in!

Been working on the final episode of the Treacle People audio drama today and gosh the cast did such a beautiful job with this one. Very exciting to be so near the end, can't wait to get it out there!

The Moobark is a proud and noble beast. A natural cross between an Airedale Terrier and a Friesian Cow, this fine animal can be found roaming the fields of the treacle-mining village of Sabden and its surrounding environs.

Quick update on the Treacle People audio drama: it's taking a little longer than planned, and won't be out this year after all. However, we are making great progress and it will definitely be out next year! Hopefully Spring! Thanks for bearing with us, it's going to be fab.

Movie rec: Wicked Little Letters (2023) 🎬 Saw this the other day - cracking film. More of a drama than a comedy imo, brutal as often as it is funny. Thursday Murder Club vibes. Every time you think you've figured out what it's trying to say, it adds a new layer. Great cast. amzn.to/4ftlzUa

Book rec: Starter Villain, by @scalzi.com 💙📚👀 Loved this. A divorced substitute teacher inherits his uncle's supervillain business, complete with volcano lair. A v funny, surprising and modern deconstruction of the Bond villain stereotype. Defo recommend! amzn.to/4exP1Hq

TV show rec: Staged (2020-2022) 📺 Originally released during the lockdowns, this is still brilliant in 2024. Three seasons of nonsense, featuring David Tennant and Michael Sheen as heightened versions of themselves. Clever, meta and very funny. Well worth a watch! amzn.to/4ftnXu6
