Go here and follow the Kickstarter. (And please repost this, it really helps!)

Utterly in love with this murder stick that was brought to sparring tonight. Does the club have enough spare wonga for a batch of side swords?

I finished Scratchman last night which was a huge amount of fun. I then started leafing through a book about Cryptids that I bought in Des Moines last year. I think my subconscious was swayed by the recent @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social episode about cryptids.

I started this thing in 2021, it got mostly built and then it fell off my desk and turned into pieces. Late last year I pulled the parts and fixed it up. I’ve now finished up the main parts and now want to add some details. Paint and base after that.

While I keep working on the heart graphic, I thought I'd have a punt at some rough concepts for the cover.

Currently working on some artwork for my next Call of Cthulhu scenario. This is a Dark Ages set story called “The wicker Heart of St Telio” and is set around a priory in Wales after the theft of a holy artifact.

Playtesting is starting next month and I have a group of victims all ready to die…

This has been a hot topic among our group over the last day or so. Shameful that someone would steal all their kit. Probably took the trailer without knowing what was in there.

New year, new kit. The club is looking clubby in our new tshirts and hoodies.

I created some new Star Trek Characters for the old FASA system over lunchtime using @robbodine.bsky.social character builder. While I love the FASA setting and artwork, I always forget how random the skills are in this game.
Clearly based on TOS and nothing else when it was created.

Also picked up a ford mustang to give the Gaslands treatment to. Not painted any cars in age.

Fantastic paint on our Servitor of the Outer Gods model (part of our Cthulhu range) from Don Suratos.

So my copy of Cosmic Dark is due today. Great!

It's being delivered by Royal Mail to my local post office, so I don't have to be in to collect it. Awesome!

Its ETA is 19:10... I don't think the Post Office will be open. Don't RM know their own opening times?
