🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀

We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG!

Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space.

But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

Having a delightful time watching the cricket with a friend. Not because I necessarily love cricket, but because I love watching Kiwis lose at cricket 😝

Home tattoos are the best tattoos. Right...?!?

A big orange and white cat sprawls on her ass leaning against a wardrobe. She's pointing a paw at a small black cat in front of her.

I'm not high. You're high!!1!

Gent at the pub tonight established that I am, by nature, a raccoon. Which was a real "Well done, but may I also say fuck you, sir" moment.

Ravensword Press The queer books your parents warned you about!

It's my birthday, hurrah! For my birthday I'd really love as many shares on this post as we can make happen!

Hi, I'm AK, and I write exceedingly queer books! Feel free to ask me about them!

I didn't know I needed lo-fi despacito in my life until it appeared, here, in my life.

Games games games, games games, games games, cats.

The world is so hopelessly broken. I know getting dolled up and spending an evening talking nonsense with friends solves nothing, but it kept me here an extra day, so I think it can't be all bad...

I've been waiting for a sign re: my next tattoo. And you have delivered it, thank you ❤️

I really needed an ego boost this week. Learning that directors are fighting over me for roles in our amdram groups upcoming "Chekhov Shorts" festival did the trick. It shouldn't have, but it did.

@thismaybegraham.bsky.social I might need you to make a "Prep is death" t-shirt. People keep getting confused whenever I tell them that the questions they're asking are answered by my imaginary Prep is Death t-shirt...

Coffee-Cat didn't sleep on my feet last night 😭😭 Unsure whether this means Spring is coming or she was just mad I had the wrong blanket on the bed...

Sir, I'm not sure what you were expecting when you sidled up to me at the bar and asked me to tell you "something most people don't know", but I can tell from your horrified expression that it wasn't 30 minutes of wild theorising on fungi and fairies.

A selfie. Standing in a messy room wearing a black t-shirt and gold suspenders. Pulling a weird little face.

Gold suspenders and funny faces. Start the year the way you mean to continue...

It's 6am and I'm just getting home and my hair is full of glitter stars. Maybe _I_ am the problem...

"I don't know if I'm retired or just drunk" is a phrase that:
a) is going to sit with me for some time; and
b) I wish I hadn't heard from a 22 year-old

This is how I chose to out myself to my new pub friends as a nerd. Which says some things about me...

Someone at the pub tonight wanted to know what the "I Heart Ursidice" sticker on my phone meant, and I just showed them this bleet...

Feeling this optimistically on behalf of most of my friends like...

I love this for you (and me)

Start of the evening: Oops accidental 80s dyke.
End of the evening: It's 5am, I guess you'll all be leaving my house now...

Our Sexy Raccoon (obvs)

Where can I get the SRD? I wish to write a Powered By Bastards game.

Oscillating between thrilled and mortified at the newest entry on the work risk register: "Jinn just...does not understand..."

Friday's a great day to take a dip in the ocean of indie TTRPGs awaiting you on itch.

Treat yourself to something festive, like our capsule game where a bunch of ne'erdowells, managed by a severely misinformed goblin, rob a fantasy department store.

Pleased to discover I've infiltrated every single playlist at the pub. This is what true success looks like.

Thrice recently people have asked me to grant them a wish (Jinn...djinn... genie... okay, sure, I get it). And thrice recently I HAVE GRANTED THEIR WISH!! Is this what magic feels like?!

Tip for Heart GMs: put a horse in there. Not as the first thing they meet. Throw some gristly things with too many legs at them first. Then hit them with a normal horse. The Heart couldn't find a way to make it more fucked up.

An Osprey perched on a branch, feathers slightly ruffled and eyes wide, staring ahead with an intense, frozen focus. Its posture is rigid, as if it’s holding itself together while quietly experiencing an internal panic.

Me: "Everything’s under control!"

Narrator: ...Absolutely nothing was under control.
