And the beetle is Clive Evil. Wait sorry sorry I said I wouldn’t mention him again
It’s like when you run your eye across the video shelf: oh look. A beetle. With hands. And a razor blade. Different. Exciting. Terrifying.
FiveEvil is currently reduced in the GMs Day Sale at DrivethruRPG: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

FiveEvil takes the underlying basics of fifth edition, skins them, guts them, turns them inside out and sews it all back together on a really solid skeleton of solid iron. FiveEvil delivers horror roleplaying to your table, using the system you know so well against you.
We're bringing the two FiveEvil scenarios to print! FiveEvil Double Feature collects THESEUS PROTOCOL by @mytholder.bsky.social and Glasshouse by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social in a glorious full colour softcover. With a cool beetle with a razor blade on the cover.

Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland is our storytelling game of the psychedelic Mesolithic. Nommed for an ENnie for Best Art, it features not only an incredibly light but powerful system but also unique art created from sets, models and props. There's not really anything like it. #maskwitches #ttrpg

Found this old one I painted a few years ago. I made some nice prints of this one back in the day. #art
It’s only £25 for the beautiful print book for just a little while longer. Maybe until the end of the weekend? What do you think? Reasonable?
Nice. That’s a favourite backdrop of mine and I don’t see it used all that often. Must use it some more myself!

Today's @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'Art that explores home'. Here's Dorothea Tanning's brilliantly creepy, and decidedly uncanny (unheimlich), Hôtel du Pavot, Chambre 202 1970–3 (© DACS, London).
Oh I forgot I found this video on my phone. Cropped it a bit for socials. Look at em all. Thanks again to Whitt and Dave for donating some of these fellows to the rewilding cause. I really enjoy making these.
Nice.

I’m gonna set up some scenes with one of your hoplites this afternoon so get ready for that!
Nice. Oh wait I did it
And yet "you cant park there m8" was right there all along
Nice.
We do not currently have any resellers in Australia.
There is no competition here. Bring me better enemies. Ones who understand the poetry of the plastic hulled pleasure craft in harmony with the long necked wader.
We don’t currently have any US distributors or retailers for backdrop books, so I don’t think so.

M8, that heron is not even in a pedalo
