Just added the next installment to the Falling series! Kez is about to collide with the archangel and we find out why that is not going to go well for anyone!

Falling - History
The pantsing experiment continues. Our two main characters are on a collision course, and things look like they might get complicated for them as well as me!

R is for a Robin Redbreast from my #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the 1970 Play for Today short film. It manages to fuse rural isolation, Pagan ritual and feminism in a taut seventy minutes with a slow-build ominous creeping dread.

Forging ahead with another cave map for the map pack (still available for late pledges on Kickstarter)!
This time with a tasty hot chocolate (smaller than I thought it was gonna be because I don't understand how different sizes are named...next time I'll just say 'big' 😁).

"How do you know latin? It's not an obvious #language for an engineer."
"I didn't know what I wanted to do," she shrugged.
"What? But you have 3 science degrees."
"I nearly did history first." She looked up. "I only gave up on the rock star career at 20."
He laughed, until he saw her face.

It is, in my opinion, a rock-solid list of solo games 😁
(And Miru is an essential solo rpg!)

I drew an isometric cut-away ship for a German RPG called Adventure Islands not too long ago. It was a lot of fun, though a little tricky at times 🙂
Boats and ships are amongst my favourite things to draw maps for, but this is the only isometric one I've done.

Thanks to the folks who have already shown their support - really appreciated it and am psyched to be so close to being able to put together the best possibly map pack!

Writing resources - maps and games
A break from the usual programme of stories for something a bit different. There are so many writing resources and prompts out there, for adults and for use in classrooms. So how about one more!

And this is the style I picked. Took a little time to choose - usually I add directional shadow based on a light source (I think they call it the...ah....sun).
But you can reorientate these cards so didn't want that. Settled on this style with the help of @lexikonical.bsky.social!
