I read the free chapter and immediately went and bought a copy (as I knew I would).

Looking forward to see (read: fearing) what happens next.
Good morning! It's December, which means it's time for my annual advent calendar!

The Mouth Of Winter is 25 chapters of grimdark fantasy, releasing daily through Christmas. Mercenaries break an ancient covenant. A monster wakes up. Nobody's having a good time.

My lawyers want me to state that Spencer in no way necessarily speaks for me.
Thank you for attending my stream.

I'm glad we can all agree, once and for all, that pointcrawls are better than hexcrawls.

I haven't seen a game of mine in a big pile of other awesome games in a while, maybe I should write a new game to sell so I can get that dopamine hit I crave so badly from being in a haul picture.

Means writing a game though, I dunno...

@profanity.accountant fucking hit me.

I've been playing a decent bit of this with Spencer in PbP and it's been a blast.
I'm working on a big GILA playtest update to come out at the start of December.

It will have the updated rules, a starting adventure, and a starting region to practice hexcrawl mechanics.

Hopefully folks will try it and give feedback before the release in January!

Grab yourself the last copy KoC currently have of this and save yourself some cash as you do so.

Sometimes I worry that I might suffer from fomo a little too easily, but then I remember that I don't start literal physical fights with folks over a novelty shaped drinks cup, so...

Enjoy your dragonmeets and whatever, I've just invested in some good thermals and a hot water bottle, I know who's winning.

Washing machine delivered and installed; I have been released!
I have a white goods coming today between 7am and 7pm which means I am utterly useless all day until it comes.

Itchio is claiming to have paid me 7 days ago (after nearly the longest delay I've had so far), and yet I have not received any money into my PayPal account.

Thing is (and I have no proof sadly — like a screenshot etc) I swear I have checked between now and 7 days ago and it still said pending.

Every year, I want to go to dragonmeet and every year something comes up to stop me, but I have to say unemployment is the cruelest way the universe has stopped me so far.

Don't wanna know what 2026 is gonna do to stop me...

If you scrape the top of your crusty food at the end of your recipe video right into the mic I will never watch one of your videos again that shits gross.

Wasn't it only just January?

I don't feel excited about TRPGs anymore and I don't know if I'm depressed or have just moved on?

I'm enjoying other things still, which... usually depression's like a mass not-enjoying-things-anymore thing right?

I just find TRPGs really tiring. Playing, writing, whatever.

My washing machine must have heard me talking about how it's a bit old now and at risk of breaking because the fucking drum fell off or something whilst being used today, spewing rubber fumes and smoke into the house.

It is black Friday though... Might not be the worst time to have happened.

I got sick from going outside the other day. Not exactly encouraging.
November 20, 2025 at 2:15 AM
Difficult to admit this, but today is the first day I've left my house in over a month. Maybe closer to two.

Not even to go to the corner shop.

Barely even to walk up my front garden.
