Hi, I'm Colin (he/him). I'm a Canadian #TTRPG designer living in the North of England. I make games like #Runecairn, #WeDealInLead, and #MidnightOfTheCentury.

I'm a film geek and love horror films, occult folklore, and exploring ancient ruins.

Runecairn Wardensaga Remastered. Vibrant blue and magenta, burning Viking warrior wielding two swords and surrounded by the charred and yearning dead. Art by CROM.

We Deal in Lead. Weird west wanders adventure game. Mysterious gunslinger drawing their gun in front of an open door leading to another world. Striking reds and yellows. Art by Goran Gligovíc.

Me (Colin), a white man with a beard and glasses. I appear to be in some kind of pub and I'm probably holding a pint, off camera.

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

A little over 2 weeks remain for you to back Midnight of the Century and help unlock the last milestone, which includes a physical cassette of the killer soundtrack and a separate print version of the Casebook.

Hello #portfolioday ! Aside from game design, I also draw digitally.

I haven't drawn in a long while, but I would love to pick up the stylus again.

Be the change you want to see. Help @wyrdscience.bsky.social surpass the print subscribership of The Bezos Post.

John Power Jr. @johnpower.bsky.social · 1d

I think it behooves the tabletop game playing audience to make sure Wyrd Science has more subscribers by the end of 2026 than the Washington Post, bonus points you'll not only get more coverage of space wizards and dungeon crawling oozes but also more robust condemnation of the US government too

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

Getting the old art muscles fired up again after a couple years dormant. Enjoying the new iPad and Procreate, fits my current workflow well.

I'll toot my own horn and say Runecairn, works great as a push and pull between GM and player.

Snuck out a little first read last night of Runecairn: Wardensaga from @byodinsbeardrpg.com a game that leans into the tropes of its influences, and I mean that as a compliment.

giantbrain.co.uk/2025/10/12/r...

Runecairn - First Read - The Giant Brain

Runecairn: Wardensaga is a game that evokes the soulslike computer game in a way that really leans into the tropes of the genre.

THE WHITE COMMANDS YOU (2003)
Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"

Interior illustration for THE DARK TOWER (book 7) by @stephenking.bsky.social 1/3

Father Callahan, a white haired man with a cross-shaped scar on his forehead, stands atop a table surrounded by vampires and low men. He thrusts his hands upward with a small turtle figurine glowing intensely bright. He is dressed all in black with a pistol tucked in his belt. Bathed in light, his face is etched with determination as his eyes draw to beads. The hideous creatures immediately surrounding him draw back in pain, grasping at their heads in agony with his shouted command. The room behind is lit yellow and orange where a curtain is drawn back and more creatures pile. Above, the light of the turtle radiates in defined white lines that shift the background purple.

This weekend, Stockholm Kartell will, like years before, barge into Stockholm's Spelkongress to set up a table brimful of horror and shame (and games). Give us a visit if you're in the area and have nothing better to do.

Visit Stockholm Kartell at Spelkongress 25 on October 18 at Gamla Riksarkivet, Old Town, Stockholm
