After several years of consuming the near entirety of my free time, the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition is here. We have poured our hearts and souls into this and think that we've got something real special for y'all. Print copies available later this year! goblinarchives.itch.io/liminal-horr...

REMINDER This is the last week to get: - The Chair, 50% off digital ($1.50) - My Royalty Free Spot Art Pack, 50% off ($25 for 100+ pieces of spot art)* *The spot art pack will also be having a price increase later this year when I add more art to it. Get it now! emosludge.itch.io

There’s one thing to keep in mind when you are designing a game: basically everybody plays Uno wrong.

Man, I live for niche hobby drama that has nothing to do with me. Like, what do you mean the needlepoint club is going through its own Occidental Schism???

@unenthuser.bsky.social and I will be running two Halloween Special tables over @dicepoolpdx.bsky.social 10/31 at noon! You wont want to miss out if you live in PDX. Perfectly timed to have some killer Liminal Horror ttrpg time before night falls! dicepool.com/pages/events

I going to need every indie video game dev on itch.io to actually read the overview page of the game jams they’re submitting to.

Wildwood is one of the most impressive displays of artistic expression that I have ever seen. There are some elements of the narrative that I could nitpick for the sake of conversation, but what Laika was able to achieve with their animation was nothing short of stunning.

I will admit, Discord changing its notifications noises to spooky sounds for Halloween is a good bit, as the standard notification is so engrained in my brain that I barely even register it anymore, so the new one will occasionally catch me off guard.

Finally had a chance to actually run Into Darkness. Can confirm that it hits like a truck. It can be done in 3 hours, but plan for 4 if you want to let the scenes breathe a bit.

New issue of The International Player’s Review just dropped! A nerve shattering horror special! Featuring: ★ A horror hex crawl ★ Interview with @isaacisafraid.bsky.social ★ Interview with @emo-sludge.com ★ Monsters ★ And more! Link below!

After having a literal year of lead up and still ending up cramming it together last minute, the Liminal Horror Halloween scenario is here. Come join a costume party at a “haunted” sanitarium where the ghosts are the least told your concerns. goblinarchives.itch.io/locked-in

If there's one thing I'm a damn expert at, it's turning two hours of "writing time" into 0 new words on the page and lots of regret.

Haunted Houses (spot art going up soon for subscribers on patreon & comradery)

Today on Between Two Cairns, @bradkerr.net, @betterlegends.bsky.social and I review Einfühlung by @goblinarchives.itch.io and @unenthuser.bsky.social, and answer a mailbag question about false rumors. www.patreon.com/betweentwoca...

I'm not one to dive too deep into FOMO or wallowing in regrets, but Over/Under is something I'm legitimately crushed that I missed out on, though I know full well that I didn't join in because it would have tangibly ruined my life hahaha.

It's Here Bitches! The much awaited quasi-sequel to Hotel Dracula is out for the Liminal Horror Summer Jam 2026. You have exclusive invitations to Marcilla's party, but will you survive the night? catshavenolord.itch.io/marcilla #TTRPG

Gearing up to travel from PDX to Arcane Con this weekend! Have a suitcase full of con exclusive zines so if you’re in Northampton pop on by, I’ll be tabling with Tyler Welch (we’re snuggled up between Joey Royale and Cairn Press).

Had a glorious moment in a con game this weekend where a player noticed, remembered, and later excitedly went back for the Chekhov's Gun I'd put in the scenario. That's the kinda stuff you live for in environmental design.

Within this issue you can find Into Darkness, my CfB game that was heavily inspired by X-Files and written for CfB vets to be able to complete in a single session.

For folks looking to get more out of Liminal Horror, check out the most recent episode of Dice Exploder. Sam and Craig really get into the meat of what makes Fallout tick and do a fantastic job of explaining why it can hit like a truck with the right table.

Star Wars returning to its roots: weird little guys. A Glup Shitto supreme. A+, no notes.

Support your living Frazetta paintings, ft. Castle Rat w/ Wraith Knight and Unto Others.

in case you missed it: Heartworm, the retro inspired survival horror game I spent years working on, is available now on PC, Switch 1/2, PS4/5, and Xbox One & Series S/X

Listen. LISTEN. Want some spooky ass games and modules from me for a discount? Two ways to go about it! First - HALLOWEEN SALE. Just my things! Including Radiant Lights! Or get everything bundled up for $25! itch.io/s/201819/hal...

I'm really vibing with Control Resonant, but I must admit that Returnal and Saros broke my brain as to what I should expect when it comes to dynamic boss battles.
