Hi! I'm Graham (he/him)! I'm a writer and table top game developer. I'm always cooking up something and rarely get enough sleep. This is my official work bluesky because my manager tells me I need to network.

I've updated the KS landing page, adding the cover, as well as some art and info. #daggerheart

Coming soon: Hope Springs Eternal

A supplement for Daggerheart. Five in-depth campaign frames, each complemented by a location (hooks, NPCs, adversaries, environments).

Started playing VLR and Clover's new look is really bothering me so I wanted to draw how I would have made her.
(I think it's a really weird choice to try making a teenage character wear a bra and booty shorts and thigh highs. I also wanted more nods to events of the 1st game.)

Congratulations, Mike! This looks awesome!

My partner likes the one with Jack screeming. It made them giggle. So that one has our votes 👍

So tonight I watched The Conjuring: Last Rites. It was my first experience with the series. I liked it! Really good horror imagery at times. Spoilers: it has such a sappy ending. I did tear up

This. Is so. Cool

Needs some final tweaks, but here is the Hope Springs Eternal cover! Exactly 9 weeks from launch... let the real marketing push begin! 😜#daggerheart

So, I haven't been posting as much in the last few months. I took some time to work on my mental health, start some new projects and polish off others
Now I'm starting to put more on my plate again, and boy, am I nervous. Balancing life and art is hard
But, I'm excited to get the ball rolling

Graham Payne @grahampayne.bsky.social · 2d

Now that's how it's done done done!

I would be so down for that, actually. I've wanted to get into paid GMing

Graham Payne @grahampayne.bsky.social · 4d

I'll be sure to play two more daggerheart games to make up for it 😛

The Final Curtain campaign frame will be somber and deal with themes of atonement, remorse, trauma and caregiving. #daggerheart

Ok TTRPG community, you said to make a press kit for my upcoming Kickstarter (Hope Springs Eternal, a beautiful Daggerheart supplement 😜). It's done! Now who do I send it to?

Automaton, Bell, Bloom, Favor, Winter are perfect to represent the five campaign frames in Hope Springs Eternal. Thinking of not only including them as decor, but also has specific magic items!

This. Is. So. Cool! Excellent work! I love the idea of manufatuer based perks (I had something similar for a weird west setting I've been working on)

This is a very solid core to build an entire frame around. Amazing
