Pandemonium Books & Games have One More Song (thanks @ipr.bsky.social for the hookup). Copies are limited, so if you want to reimagine the Orpheus myth to your favourite playlist... better get there fast.
Stall 3800. That's the magic number.

I did none of the things I intended to do today, but I did do an awful lot of things, including bravely sending an email in Italian (don't clap, it was two sentences; clap because I understood the email I was replying to) and managing to order an emergency print run.
I'll take what I can get.

I reckon you can learn a lot about the atmosphere in various Oxford colleges by looking at what they choose to name their cats (courtesy of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social ). We should all aspire to the energy of a Teabag, Isambard Kitten Brunel, or an Admiral Flapjack

Need one more voice for a super-short #vo job. It's 5 lines + 2 words and is for a small Kickstarter next year.
A higher/sweeter voice would be preferred. Phone recordings will be accepted.
Pay is either a straight $20 OR you can get a permanent 1% of profit from each comic sold. IT IS HORROR.

The real issue isn’t immigration, it’s the feedback loop: platforms amplify anxiety → voters feel it → politicians chase it → hollow policy follows. Until we break that cycle, we won’t get functional decisions or functional democracy.

Co-signed, basically 100%. I'm not moving existing projects over, but starting new ones in Affinity Studio has let me mess around with a lot of the tools and: Chant like.
I'm by no means a professional graphic designer, but Studio (so far) has made my RPG layout workflow smoother and less annoying.

I've been playing around with the new Affinity Studio since it was released. TLDR; It's good. Very good. How long will it stay that way? It's still too early to tell.

One of the things I really like about zombie horror is the maths of it.
Nobody ever talks about the simple, beautiful, *maths* of it.

We turned real UK internet dead zone data into a paranormal drama. See how Leeds became a hotspot for vampire gangs in our urban fantasy location finder.
