I'm about to start a campaign in Be Like a Crow and, as the manual proposes it, I'm gonna use it as an excuse to dust off my comic making skills

Only Five Hours Remain (probably less by the time you read this) to back Folk Hero, my solo post-apocalyptic songwriting game.

Do it and you can figh these bastards.

Thank you!

Only just heard of this expansion but I'm in!

Not long left on Folk Hero now. Can you unite the Un-united Kingdom through music?

Here's some layouts and a link to help you back it...

Over on my Patreon I've just dropped a new 5e one-shot to prove I've not forgotten my roots. It has investigation, combat, a tragic backstory, a camel and a hamster and all the other essential pillars of a great session.

As wonderful as it is to have my business recognised by our local MP, he is, unfortunately a member of the party who spent 14 years defunding the arts.

I will be responding in a civilised manner and maybe I will send him a copy of Punk is Dead so he knows what kind of thing we create.

I can’t make it to GenCon. Does someone want to go collect my Ennie and make a raucous and witty speech that’s on the right side of history?
