I can finally announce that my book on building fantasy worlds is scheduled for a December release. It is based on my experience helping to develop Warhammer and Vampire: The Masquerade, as well as other titles. www.routledge.com/Building-Fan...

Building Fantasy Worlds: A Hands-On Guide to Creating Fantasy Settings for Games (And More!)

Written by multi-award-winning narrative designer and worldbuilder Graeme Davis, this book draws on more than 40 years’ experience working on almost 50 video games and more than 100 tabletop game rule...

The Odyssey. I initially found the American accents jarring and chided myself — it’s not any worse than English accents, after all. Then, as the drama unfolded, I realised what that decision meant. I will watch this one again; I have theories and I want to see how deep they go.

We’re going to watch Event Horizon, my favourite 40K prequel movie, for reasons…

We have finally arrived at our seats for @criticalrole.bsky.social at Edinburgh Castle. We were guided up here by the lovely staff, who were super cool. Thanks to @kyleshire.bsky.social for the tickets. Best graduation present for Josie and Abbie, ever! :D

The queue for @criticalrole.bsky.social at the castle is… a bit big.

Currently with Lindsay and the two new graduates in Hot Pot before heading up to Edinburgh Castle for @criticalrole.bsky.social.

It is Sunday morning and our kickstarter for Embers of Humanity has entered its final week so I thought I’d write a bit about how this RPG came to be. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mem...

Embers of Humanity RPG - Print Edition

A hope-filled, post-apocalyptic ttrpg about regular people surviving after the end of the world.

Remembering our tours of Norway’s fjords earlier this year…

I’ve been on the train so many times these last few weeks that the staff know me well enough to guess what I’ll order. As I await my food, this time I’m going to tap away at some rule design.

Lilith and Abigail (Josie and Abbie), ready to graduate.

Hiding from the sun before taking graduation photies. Jo wisely took a parasol.

Josie, chilling before her graduation In her flat.

Big day ahead. My eldest graduates with a first in game design and production. Lindsay and I are currently awaiting our train to take us there. This will be a very welcome diversion from the recent stresses concerning my mum’s health.

Since some of you asked, this is the progress of the new @lawhammer.bsky.social studio so far. The build is in our back garden and sits opposite my office. Still lots to do, but the core building is finished.

On fanart, here is a brilliant piece by Ash of Birdie in one of her less controlled moments that was posted in the @lawhammer.bsky.social Discord. You can join us over there at this link: tinyurl.com/LAWhammerDis...

I will never tire of @lawhammer.bsky.social fanart! Thanks for this one, @autumnarchfey.bsky.social! Funny to think how things have changed since this was drawn.

I love watching serious journalists trying to seriously cover the dawning political reality of @countbinface.bsky.social.

How’s many of you caught the map I did for @criticalrole.bsky.social’s Campaign 4?

And if you haven’t bought it already, go buy Dark Deeds! Coz it’s truly fun (and funny) board gaming awesome, available from @modiphius.bsky.social. I spent far too many hours working on this one.

Ca-caw! Are you the kind of malevolent minion the Patron needs to complete his malicious missions? Team players need not apply. #DarkDeeds is available direct from @modiphius.bsky.social or ask your friendly local game store to order it in! modiphius.net/products/dar...

Inside the Rookery, @rookeryp.bsky.social’s video podcast about games, writing, and all things geekery, is still going strong as we head towards our 200th episode. I guest on it frequently, including the shared episode below.

For those asking, Lorebeards has expanded significantly over the last year. We now cover Warhammer Fantasy, 40K, Age of Sigmar, Roleplaying as a whole, and even have an (infrequent) bookclub. It’s expanded fan beyond anything Ryan or I expected, and we actually employ a bunch of folks now!

We’re no @criticalrole.bsky.social, but I’m still super proud of our wee show. We’re building a new studio in my garden for the second season, so it’s gonna be a wee bit more professional moving forwards.

I’ve been hanging around her for a while with the @lawhammer.bsky.social account, but never sorted a personal presence. I’ve been told it’s time to fix that, so here I am fixing it.
