A medieval styled knight sits atop a horse, with arrows sticking out of him. The text reads: GET ON THE HORSE WE'RE MAKING HURTY FEELY TROPE GAMES. The Romantasy TTRPH Jam, starts 30th April 2026.
So I have made the jam page and have a few checks to make before I hit publish, but.......GET ON YOUR HORSES. JOIN ME. (It will run until August, so you'll have plenty of time!)

Well, the Asher's Ridge location cards are now in the hands of the printer. 🙌
Expect excitement when the test deck arrives sometime next week 🤞
(Please let it be excitement, not disappointment 😅)

I'm chairing a panel on the impact of generative AI on the tabletop industry this year at UKGE. One of the panelists, an academic working in AI ethics, has put together a short survey about it. If folks could fill it out that would be incredible. Thank you!

A pile of sleeved test-print cards for Asher's Ridge
So the test print and check-over went pretty well I think!
A3 sheets of paper with card designs on them for Asher's Ridge.
Just test printing the "print at home" Asher's Ridge cards 👀
(Note I changed the position of the mini card signifier to the top left corner, so they're less annoying to use if you fan them out in your hand)
Congratulations on your new bunny garden companion!
(We had a baby muntjac deer running as fast as anything back and forth across our garden last night. Spring is *the best*.)
A drawing of a pair of glasses and a press pass on top of a newspaper excerpt. Headlines include "Defaced Again", about graffiti on the Asher Memorial, and "Death - " (rest of headline missing). This drawing represents Ridge News, a location in the game Asher's Ridge.
Ridge News always has plenty to report on in Asher's Ridge. For instance, what *are* those strange lights seen at night near 'The Big House'?

The illustration of Thursday's story for Frog and Rabbit: they are in a dusty attic, with damaged things all around. They are back to back with candles in their hands and are not looking very reassured!
Text from the beginning of this story: "Thursday: FROG AND RABBIT LOOK FOR A GHOST This story takes place at Frog or Rabbit’s home, who invited their best friend to spend the night. What did they have for dinner? What did they talk about? What did they do at the start of the evening? What do their pajamas look like? Ghosts aren’t real, but there still is something inside the house that is the source of strange noises, threatening shadows, scary shapes…"
Most stories in "A week with Frog and Rabbit", my next TTRPG which starts crowdfunding on May 7, talk of ordinary things in the daily life of the two friends... But sometimes they have almost extraordinary adventures!

A man in an orange sweatshirt and a large camera stand at a lookout point and view a sea of early morning mist covering the valley below. The Ridge Stone is visible in the distance.
The view from the lookout point near Asher's Ridge is well worth the climb up to it. Especially when the valley is shrouded in early morning mist and it feels like you're the only person left in the world.

Asher's Ridge has been sent to the printer 🙌🌄
I've a handful of location cards still to finish up before I send those off too, so while you wait:
Historical Records & Curiosities is a treasure trove of relics and historical information about Asher's Ridge. Here's its location card. :)
Sunrise over The Ridge, reflecting on the cold, dark, vastness of Brightwater Lake.
Brightwater Lake is cold and deep. Very deep.

It absolutely will, don't worry :)
If you want to know exactly when, you can check www.montfordtales.com - I'll make a post there first as soon as the PDF's are available (end of April-ish). Print copies will be available from June onwards.
You are very kind and generous to say this - *thank you*.
A picture of a stone statue on a plinth of a man in a long coat and ruffled shirt. A skull-like graffiti is on his face.
The town's namesake, John Asher, turned the town around then died a strange and mysterious death. Some say he made pacts with beings from beyond the ken of humankind. Some say he just knew his own mind.
His memorial statue in Asher Park was recently defaced. No-one saw it happen.
I have two editing / sensitivity reading slots left for April if anyone would like them? 🥰 I offer a choice of per-word or fixed price options, but am also happy to work within your budget if you have a price in mind.
2.5 hrs (or whenever I decide to have lunch 🥪)
It's almost time to get everything printed, so this is a last chance to pick it up at a nice discount.
