In my #ttrpg I hit an actual 3D underground scenario under the hilltop Buddhist ruin. In terms of in-game tt theatrics, it was EXTREMELY satisfying. Role playing in an 1860s steampunk Japan…

Modern Islamic calligraphy, from the #aghakhanmuseum part of the current exhibition on winners of the prestigious Al Burda festival awards for calligraphy. I love calligraphy and I was inspired!

Battling for Osaka Harbour in steamships; 1868. This was the climactic action of the campaign and we coined the phrase ‘Black Hull Melee’ in case anyone needs an 80s metal band name. Seriously great fun!

The story so far! #whalesong is out in the world and there’s a new novella in @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social that I’m writing with author and scientist @slashnburnett.bsky.social with yet more ‘secrets of empire.’ And week after next I’ll start writing ‘The Alien’s War’

I’m a writer and I write about war and conflict; I spend 80% of my reading time on primary sources. The impact of violence and war on people—not just soldiers but civilians and families—is terrible and lasts generations. For Remembrance Day, honour the fallen, but remember war and its costs.

More shots from HMS Warrior. Did I mention I was very impressed? Steam and magic naval warfare… not the main arc but a scene I can’t wait to write 😊 #hmswarrior #epicfantasy

Open breech on an Armstrong gun, 1860; fuel for my next fantasy series. But what I really want to do is praise the historical interpretation aboard #hmswarrior they knew EVERYTHING and were both entertaining and deeply knowledgeable. My hat is off to all of them.

The Ship Anson in Portsmouth UK. Last time I was here was 1990 and I walked off an aircraft carrier. Beer is still good😊 and I did research for my new fantasy series. No, really.

More photos from the Xth running of the ‘Deed of the Red Knight.’ We had more armoured fighters than I could count and some great scenarios as well as individual fighting; music, cooking, wine and good conversation.
