A view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill on November 1st

Edinburgh in autumn light

I am trying to convince myself that playing Battlefield 6, Outer Worlds 2 and Arc Raiders in some way constitutes research into game theory design...

Now that my serious and mature themed-occult horror ttrpg is out in the wild, it’s time to turn my attention to the Saturday morning cartoon / Scott Pilgrim-sequel vibes of my new project, Band On The Run

In my Halloween movie marathon, I just watched Smile 2 and now I am terrified of Lady Gaga

Just ran a session of my occult horror ttrpg of creeping dread and my players now all hate me and that’s a success right there

Progress on my latest ttrpg project may be slightly impacted by me having ‘accidentally’ purchased Battlefield 6…

Edinburgh is Halloween and Halloween is Edinburgh

And at least one of the teachers is a fanatical disciple of darkness who will sacrifice their own life to protect that of the child and I may have watched The Omen one too many times and I am not sorry

Marking spooky season by writing a ttrpg scenario set in a boarding school in Bruges in 1974, where at least one of the pupils has been possessed by the Devil

I just had a flashback to my childhood, when I lived in constant fear of:
a) drowning in quicksand, leaving only a hat behind
b) falling into piranha-infested waters
c) being obliterated by all-out thermonuclear war

Such happy memories.

“Now a distinctively-shaped residential complex, the original Battery of Edinburgh Castle was once home to the 119th Banana Regiment, who defended the city from seaborne invaders.”

I have now…

“Surely it was fudge?” Is now the strapline for the Completely Fabricated Edinburgh Walking Tour

The Killiecrankie Pass is now the Wee Jimmy Krankie Pass

“Beneath this tree, Mary Queen of Scots wrote the sonnet ‘Sunshyne on Lethe’, which would later be turned into the smash hit single by famed Edinburgh band The Osmonds”

“This cobblestone marks the spot where the last man convicted of Reckless Topiary in Scotland was executed in 1856”

“And on your left is the one and only cafe in Edinburgh that hasn’t claimed Harry Potter was written there”

I still dream of one day setting up the Completely Fabricated Edinburgh Walking Tour.

“This traffic cone marks the spot where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle invented the Cocker Spaniel”

and that kind of thing.

Every now and again, I am tempted to sneak elements of ttrpg design into my dayjob as a business analyst writing requirements:

‘The Date of Registration must be a valid date object in the format dd/mm/yyyy unless the user rolls a natural 1 on a D20’

Autumn by the Almond

Edinburgh's graveyards were designed for spooky season ...

Time once again to escape reality by writing tales & games of creeping existential dread and abject horror...

In my head, I'm designing the ttrpg game based on the TV series prequel to the movie based on the novel I've not written yet.

I kinda like my head.
