Just backed this yesterday after meaning to do so for quite some time and I can say this: so far the layout and the writing are great, darkly evocative of the genre, and I'm having a blast thinking about rolling up some investigators. Highly recommended!

We learnt a lot making Eco mofos but I’m confident we’re going to go one better with Islands of Weirdhope.

I am mad greatful for all the support on Doomspiral. I've got a big writing day today so I'll be likely quiet on here, but we've got less than 6 hours left and if you could take a look at the project and throw us some cash it would mean the world to me

Friends, mutuals, and/or well-wishers: who's going to #EssenSpiel this year?

I'll be there on the Sunday, so if you're tabling or wandering around, let me know! This is my first time in Essen, so please share recommendations—Folkwang is already on the list, don't worry.

What are some must-sees?

That was in Dumfries, so it was probably a pint of Caledonian Best, which was really easy drinking.
