Hey all!

I took a short break after releasing Skin Crawl (physical version in the works!) I've got a few things to catch up on, namely a game about dream demons and an adventure for #ecomofos under the working title Inheritance of Pain!

I'm looking forward to getting back in the groove!

not only are these new guidelines incredibly broad, but there's no wiggle room to appeal. itch can and will steal creators' money with no accessible form of recourse.

What does the flesh remember? If it can think, does it hate us?

So I just released Skin Crawl, a subcutaneous point-crawl for Mothership's TripTech Game Jam.

Feel free to check it out! headless-press.itch.io/skin-crawl

Black and white A4-shaped poster with the word MAKE in big bold letters at the top and ZINES! in big bold letters at the bottom. In between, in capital letters is the following text... NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE. NO GRANT FUNDING CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR WORDS. NO INSTITUTION CAN BAR YOU FROM ENTERING. NO KNOWLEDGE IS UNAUTHORIZED. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MAKE ZINES!

I am currently working on two very different projects: one is an adventure for #ECOMOFOS, and the other is a collaborative narrative game that was going to be for #PocketQuest2025 but rapidly crept in scope (as I crept further into the purgatory of ideating random tables 😆).

Test prints have arrived and they look gorgeous, one is saddle-stitched the other is square- backed; just giving it a once-over before I bask in how surreal this feels!

What a surreal but gratifying experience. Writing a game for a gallery installation isn't something I ever imagined I'd do and watching people play and engage with it was incredible. Huge thanks to @davidblandyrpgs.bsky.social and the team behind Weird Hope Engines for inviting me to be part of it.
A photo of crowds gathered in a gallery A gallery installation that looks like a cubicle in an office. Posters on the wall read "The Record Is The Truth and The Truth Is The Record" and "Building Better History!". Beneath them is a desk holding an electric typewriter and a binder filled with paper. A group of women gathered around a desk typing on an electric typewriter. A sheet of typed text. It reads: If now is not The moment, when will it be I have been keeping pieces of myself My innermost self - inside a jar Just some fishnets that I deemed surplus Deemed by the deemers, you understand? And so long as I KEEP THIS JAR (do you hear? do you speak?) I WILL KEEP DOING IT I cannot be stopped Not by you, or you, or you Until I run out of jars, Or run out of me Yours Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

When I saw this announcement I was immediately thought: I wonder if I could do a 'Great Heresy Campaign' in the style of the 'Great Pendragon Campaign'? Seems like that might be more doable!

Well this is interesting - more info on the forthcoming #HorusHeresy RPG from @cubicle7games.bsky.social. Sounds like a very different approach to any of their other #Warhammer games, with a much bigger scale. I’m not really a Horus Heresy fan, but I am interested in this.

#1 takeaway from our interview with the developers of the upcoming Warhammer: The Horus Heresy RPG - this game cannot come out soon enough. We are frothing in anticipation. We are biting our knuckles. Just check it:
