We had a wonderful, exhausting time at #AdventureX this weekend!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to play the demos, buy the books and games, listen to the talk, bend our ears about ink and generally say hello.

In his house when he died there was an elevator that he'd built himself for his wife, who was wheelchair bound. He cut the hole in the floorboard himself.

But he wasn't a writer, or a publisher. So where did the books come from? Who is Dorothea Pemberton?

Today is the day to tell a strange story.

The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.

Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

We’ll be honest - we knew the project was underway but we thought it couldn’t be done. We were wrong.

The new Heaven’s Vault novel hinges on a mysterious book in Ancient, The Raven’s Book, which Aliya finds and translates.

So, naturally, one of our beta readers has translated part one of that book back again, into Ancient.

🤩 There's fan art, -- and then there's a two-page comic of everyone's two worst rivals.

Gorgeous work by @violetspark14.bsky.social! We love it.
