Witness, here, my random nonsense.

I build demons at Rowan, Rook and Decard but these opinions are all mine.

They/them.
The world is so hopelessly broken. I know getting dolled up and spending an evening talking nonsense with friends solves nothing, but it kept me here an extra day, so I think it can't be all bad...

I really needed an ego boost this week. Learning that directors are fighting over me for roles in our amdram groups upcoming "Chekhov Shorts" festival did the trick. It shouldn't have, but it did.

@thismaybegraham.bsky.social I might need you to make a "Prep is death" t-shirt. People keep getting confused whenever I tell them that the questions they're asking are answered by my imaginary Prep is Death t-shirt...

Coffee-Cat didn't sleep on my feet last night 😭😭 Unsure whether this means Spring is coming or she was just mad I had the wrong blanket on the bed...

Sir, I'm not sure what you were expecting when you sidled up to me at the bar and asked me to tell you "something most people don't know", but I can tell from your horrified expression that it wasn't 30 minutes of wild theorising on fungi and fairies.

Gold suspenders and funny faces. Start the year the way you mean to continue...

I saw a cool idea about making a 2026 Goals bingo card. And another cool idea about setting only fun goals.

So I combined the two.

Help me achieve them if you can 😘

It's 6am and I'm just getting home and my hair is full of glitter stars. Maybe _I_ am the problem...

"I don't know if I'm retired or just drunk" is a phrase that:
a) is going to sit with me for some time; and
b) I wish I hadn't heard from a 22 year-old

Feeling this optimistically on behalf of most of my friends like...
Yep, lowering the expectations I've placed on myself by closing thirty tabs.

Start of the evening: Oops accidental 80s dyke.
End of the evening: It's 5am, I guess you'll all be leaving my house now...

Oscillating between thrilled and mortified at the newest entry on the work risk register: "Jinn just...does not understand..."

Friday's a great day to take a dip in the ocean of indie TTRPGs awaiting you on itch.

Treat yourself to something festive, like our capsule game where a bunch of ne'erdowells, managed by a severely misinformed goblin, rob a fantasy department store.

Pleased to discover I've infiltrated every single playlist at the pub. This is what true success looks like.

Thrice recently people have asked me to grant them a wish (Jinn...djinn... genie... okay, sure, I get it). And thrice recently I HAVE GRANTED THEIR WISH!! Is this what magic feels like?!

Tip for Heart GMs: put a horse in there. Not as the first thing they meet. Throw some gristly things with too many legs at them first. Then hit them with a normal horse. The Heart couldn't find a way to make it more fucked up.

GET IT! (But only 9 of you because one is mine)
Playtest edition of Court of the Lich Queen all finished for Dragonmeet.
I’ve only made 10 copies of this bare-bones print copy which will be available from me on the day for a fiver, so if you want one pop along early.

Six years ago I started a tiny little community group through which I met so many great people (now friends!) in tabletop games. Over time other great people have joined, taken over the reins, and evolved that little group into a large, widespread, mature, and supportive organisation.

it hasn't helped sell any mags but it appears our nonsense on here has just pushed our account over 5K 'followers', so let's embrace that as some kind of achievement!

Like & repost this to be in with a chance to win every in-print issue of Wyrd Science & a t-shirt of your choice*

Have I just spent an hour researching shoe manufacturers? Yes.
Would you like to pre-order some very strange shoes? (Say yes)

Caw! I'm a crow! Can I interest you in a war?
