A map to a forgotten valley where the honey is sweet & the children are sent away with vacant eyes. Every path leads closer to the hive's embrace.

Stunning art by @danielharila.bsky.social for my Cairn folk horror adventure, The Beekeeper's Tithe.

I will be making a kickstarter soon, so stay posted! Watch out for oncoming links to get notified.

There are old paths through the woods that wise folk shun. You are not wise.

Soon you'll be able to explore them in my upcoming, fully illustrated Folk Horror adventure for Cairn.

Amazing cover illustration by @danielharila.bsky.social

Daniel did an amazing job for my upcoming adventure for Cairn. This is the front and back cover as a wrap for the project. Check out his other fantastic work on his Bluesky

Daniel Harila @danielharila.bsky.social · 14d

Super proud of this cover job I did with ink washes and a fountain pen for @labyrinthine-press.itch.io . Photographed in a legit art studio, no expenses were spared on this piece and it shows.

Inked traditionally by yours truly 2025

The Melsonian Arts Council and Iglootree are teaming up to open a FLGS/bookshop in South London. Yes, THIS Saturday. Come say hi, buy a book, maybe win one of the ludicrously posh games we're offering in the raffle (I goddamn love raffles), play games in our basement. THIS IS REAL!

I have a background in consumer tech, and know that all printers will have their own bullshit. HP instant ink looks great on paper, but there are a lot of hidden cavates that push the price up. As many have suggested Brother Printers are known for being robust and lack any of these gimmicks

Substack is a confusing hybrid of a newsletter and social media, so I am not surprised you get lost. I use it, and content discovery outside of direct subscriptions is very hit-or-miss. I would also love a new space for these conversations, as discord, while good, is too siloed for broad discovery

I'm incredibly jealous! I'd love to see movies like that in traditional cinema format. Have you seen Kurosawa's lesser known High and Low? It's more of a crime thriller.

My favourite samurai film is Ugetsu Monogatari, but it's more supernatural in places.

Yeah you should definitely get the full wedding experience! This is a celebration. You should look and feel your best on the special day

Labyrinthine Press | James Renga @labyrinthine-press.itch.io · 29d

My recommendation would be to buy an off the hanger suit that you like and just get it tailored to your fit afterwards. I know it won't be bespoke, but you'll look amazing for the big day.

I often wonder why that impression exists: that a creative career is either a vanity project for the rich or simply a hobby with no middle ground. Like many, I have a day job to support myself, but the time and dedication I put into my "hobby" easily equals the effort of full-time work.

Labyrinthine Press | James Renga @labyrinthine-press.itch.io · Sep 7

Congratulations on finding a new place! That's great news how quickly you got that sorted. Must be such a relief

Ouch! That sounds incredibly painful. I hope you have a swift and easy recovery

Labyrinthine Press | James Renga @labyrinthine-press.itch.io · Sep 7

From a pain threshold standpoint there is no such thing as a "small crack". Sorry to hear you've got hurt so bad. Hope the recovery is swift. Was it a large fall?

Damn that's way too long. I hope you are okay

Speaking of DS1 cheese. These same people would then spend ages trying to shoot the drake's tail to get the drake sword so early on, and then trivialise the entire beginning.

Labyrinthine Press | James Renga @labyrinthine-press.itch.io · Sep 6

From an accessibility standpoint, easy modes are essential. Believing that all players have the same reaction times or capabilities is exclusionary; including options to lower the difficulty ensures more people can enjoy the game... The whole "git gud" mentality is pretty reductive.
