Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

A couple of years ago, I was delighted when Abel Enzo from The Iron Realm podcast, asked me to do concept art for 4 miniatures of characters from his show. One, Len, has finally been turned into a miniature!

Happy 38th birthday, KNIGHTMARE, the hardest game show on television! In 1987, Treguard the Dungeon Master welcomed the first team of adventurers to his blue screen labyrinth. Losers didn’t just fail, they 'died': blades, spikes, and bottomless pits abounded. "Ooh, nasty..."

Ewamore, Quoth the Raven @ewacat.bsky.social · Oct 11

I got served this incredible advert over on twitter. It's a book summary written by AI but I bet the book is AI too. It's just so incredibly stupidly funny and every time I read it I start WHEEZING

There's no way to prepare you for this.

"Kindle edition now complete with cover!!

Raphael, a young man in his mid-thirties, returns to the rustic coastal village of Hopetown, where he spent the last few days with his son, Clay, before his son suffers an unfortunate, near-sudden death in a devastating car crash, and during which he, the father, was driving. Join him as he relives the anguish, the blatant incredulity, the consequent meltdown and intermittent pangs of guilt, and which are then followed by an unfathomable void alternating with a sudden surge of emotion, all in that order, on realising that things had forever changed.

While reviving memories, he also crosses paths with a roaming woman spirit of the sea, who claims that he needs her and that she knows Clay's whereabouts, and who is continuously transforming as the relationship grows. The story also teases a complex interplay of emotions and secrets, as some friends also introduce him to Celine, another young woman, who initially seems to be the perfect antithesis of the other woman, and yet is vaguely similar to the other woman in some ways, also setting the stage for an unpredictable narrative in subsequent parts."

Actually sobbing and it's like the ninth time I've read this lol

Played a couple of games of Warhammer 40k for the first time in 15 years, with borrowed minis. Found myself lingering over paints and terrain packs. My bank account is getting worried...

I love the premise! Giving me Braveheart/Highlander vibes. Enjoyed the Richard voice over too. When is it being released?
