Reviews from Ry'leh takes a look at FiveEvil in an extremely thorough review. Pookie has very high standards and knows his horror RPGs. What did he think? rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2026/10/fift... #ttrpgs #fiveevil

Who would be stupid enough to make a GM's book longer than the corebook? Well those people are just looking to excuse their own frailty. It's out now in PDF at @drivethrurpg.com: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... and print pre-order with free PDF: handiwork.games/product/pre-... #maskwitches

Something else to think about instead of moving boxes is this: It’s a challenge to communicate easily and effectively to customers that many links in the chain of “norms” are being broken right now.

And ok, thems the breaks and crying won’t fix it. Buuuut communicating just how difficult it now is to send a parcel into the EU, or how random customs can be in the US is a skill unto itself. And when you’re good at making books about an elf, you might not be super skilled in comms strategy?

But the trick is being able to communicate these really long chains of dominoes in a way that doesn’t make us or our partners look incompetent, or just bores the heck out of customers who just don’t need that level of detail. I had someone recently ask “why don’t you just post the book?”

The pace of change is fast, & businesses that we rely on to deliver games are either changing or going bust. That comes with a potentially HUGE time overhead. Recently a forgivable mistake by a partner, in a time when things are changing so rapidly, has cost me dozens and dozens of hours of work.

Just taken delivery of our first pallet in a while. I was using a kind of just-in-time dripfeed from my warehouse friends. But that’s not viable in late 2026, when parcel couriers don’t want to move a consignment of 4 boxes, and now charge too much per box. so pallets it is. 1/?

So while it’s bloody grim out there just now, and we’re all caught between huge forces we can’t control, and all the rest, this is the same as it ever was - it’s the stuff that made us want to do this which will keep us going. Creativity innit? Good luck, friends. And thanks Jamie at GMS. The mvp.

This kind of agility and resilience to the shenanigans of a hostile logistics environment is gonna be key for survival of small creative presses. And having partners who can respond and change very quickly is massively important. Having a way things are done matters a less than an eye on outcomes.

I’ve seen some lovely use of the More Skies Backdrop Book today, so I was inspired to break it out with my Ma.K. feller. handiwork.games/product/jon-... #jhbackdrops

Had a few folks ask, & no that is not a backprojected image. It is not applied or enhanced with any post production technique, beyond a touch of colour grading. An IKEA cabinet strip light hidden behind the scenery, pointing upwards onto the backdrop book, and lighting *across* the scene does it.

Yes this is all well and good, nice shot, but how do I get the stinking dead locusts back into the bag? Hashtag Maskwitches problems #maskwitches
