It's spooky season, and what's spookier than the haunted streets of Doskvol? Probably a good time for me to release my expansion supplement for Blades in the Dark, right?
Announcement coming soon. Keep your eyes peeled and your blades sharp. ;)

Dangerous to rush to judgement but the most recent iteration of Eotenweard, my PbtA game of Dark Age Heroes protecting the innocent across the Old North, delivered the smoother mechanical experience that I'd hoped while the narrative richness hasn't suffered (IMHO, obvs!)

#AlienRomulus gives me the excuse I never need to resurrect my proudest, grisliest creation (the most horrifying part of which is that orange curtain, which at least lends it an authentic 70s vibe).
