An illustration from/of Molesworth, showing Nigel in strong man pose with the text “My veins stand out like whipcords”
A card from The Forest Dragon, showing a child’s drawing of a bear with a speech balloon that read “knock knock”. The card text reads “Mister Bear end your go”
I can’t believe that I forgot about Mister Bear.
Knock knock mother flippers, it’s me, Mister Bear.
A card from Bang & Twang showing the two greedy boys playing their tubas. The text reads -5 Greedy Boys Double Tuba Shanty Bank this card in another player's bank
Obviously, as any fule kno, if you want some Greedy Boys action right now, they currently appear in The Forest Dragon Bang and Twang with their tubas. Get ye to our website and buy it.
A photograph of a card from the prototype of The Forest Dragon Farmer showing a drawing of two greedy boys. Text on the card reads Setback! Some Greedy Boys End your go.

The Planets and Nebulae Backdrops book isn't just for sci-fi. But gosh it frames your models so well. Here we see it in the larger A3 size. It's available now. #jhbackdrops handiwork.games/product-cate...
Nice.
So nice!
Is there another feeling which matches that moment when you’re GMing an RPG for a new group, and a player you don’t know gives you that look which says “I got you, m8” and takes actions which unequivocally support the forward motion of the session to help you out? No. No there is not.
Artists, show what built your style!
(A very abbreviated selection! Dave McKean is missing, Simon Bisley should be there for teen me even if I’d hesitate now, Brian Froud, Justin Sweet, Matthias Snygg…)
Don't want to photograph your models in front of your paint bottles? But don't want to create mini scenes and compelling adventure narratives with our scenic backdrops. That's ok. I GUESS Our Pro Series Book has a series of classic clean gradients for a very different look.
Always a pleasure!
a|state second edition features an easily-digested iteration of Forged in the Dark with numerous developments such as The Trouble Engine, faction rules, caring as an action and more. It's packed with glorious art, unique setting material and is a hefty tome of wonder. handiwork.games/games/astate
Woah when you click between the first two, they could be cut and pasted. They were taken on a locked off camera tripod and then cropped identically. Looks wild though, eh?
Look lively it's Officer Peach from @peachytips.bsky.social He makes the best companion to the World War Ruins and Skies Backdrop Books. Really enjoyed this shoot. The lighting was just right for the vintage vibes I think. #jhbackdrops

I enjoy making these scenes where I'm not quite sure why a @fenrisgames.com hoplite is in some sort of cyberhell, pursuing or being pursued by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Turkey Man. You tell me.

It's got the lot!
@uruseiyatsuraband.bsky.social are my absolute favourite band ever, and all of Graham's subsequent projects are super worth your time if you like his sounds, which I really, really do.
What’s your favourite Bible verse? (Wrong answers only)

An image of Shirley Temple and Shirley Crabtree overlaid with the text “Shirley”
Sure could!
An image of two halves. On the left a photograph of awful John Wayne, with “John” overlaid in blue text. On the right, marvellous Jon Taylor of Duran Duran with “Jon” overlaid in raspberry text.
A simple visual guide.
(I had an absolute blast working on DW and appreciated the opportunity. Kinda led directly to The One Ring so you know. Nice.)
