Hamanshiron Publishing

Me and the better half went to see I Swear tonight, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it, brilliant film, the two main characters (the only ones as usual) being played by non Scots was a bit annoying but you would have to be Scottish to observe that

My FLGS found their loose packs of Zendikar Rising, Ikoria, Throne of Eldraine and War of the Spark, I got a pack of Throne and Ikoria (I never got to open them when they came out) I got a Raugrin Triome and a Witch's Oven, the Throne pack's rare was a Castle Embereth

I always planned on having a smaller spell count in Legends than D&D, at this point I think we are going to be bigger, but at least organised for each pursuit/profession or Domain. No going through half the book to look for 1 spell.

High Elves of Hamanshiron, nosey, opinionated, pretentious, arrogant, smug, unreliable, so annoyingly up themselves even Wood Elves apologise for them. But they are undoubtedly have some of the greatest artisans, scholars and magically gifted beings in Hamanshiron's history.

Miss it not at all, that compunction to check social media every half an hour. But I am going to have to start using it a bit more again the closer I get to finishing this version of the rules

Thinking about how little time I actually used social media anymore because during the writing hiatus I had a bunch of mental health episodes and had to step away, that all consuming almost addictive behaviour just went away. It's weird. Miss

Thanks very much will let them know.

@evilhat.bsky.social just wondering if you have a UK distributor trying to find out for my FLGS

Ate half a tub of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream that was sitting in the freezer, last night. My stomach does not agree with that decision today.

As of the end of our Star Wars campaign, I am no longer the GM for that block on our group calendar. It marks the first time in over 5 years I have played in a campaign as a PC and the first time since 2nd edition I was a player in a D&D campaign. I have so much figuring out to do.

Let's go what do you want to know.

I have 21 of 534 mission outlines written, In already had the first 10 written before I started writing them again, it's been 4 days, it will only take me 6 months to write at this pace. I have a very sore head.

The Crown of Jarajakti. A naval horror adventure. Find the stranded ship and escape with the treasure. What seemed like a simple job quickly takes a much more disturbing turn...

Having to put off playtesting the new rules cause I won't have time between now and finishing the Star Wars campaign to finish the rules so it's in a playable state, handed off GM reigns to one of the other players so I don't have to think about 2 campaigns while also writing rules

When you look at the size of your campaign area for Star Trek is 80 subsectors and average 7 systems per subsector. Nearly 600 mission outlines need to be made up if they survey the whole sector but I need 84 for the beginning of the campaign depending on direction of travel.

My dad has never in 26 and a half years of work turned up at anywhere I have ever worked (most of my work has been in retail, pubs or clubs) yet today he turned up, I wasn't even there, I am on annual leave til Tuesday. That's just weird turning up when he knew I wouldn't be there

That's me ahead of payments on my Combat Patrol subscription now, I will be back to bring a week in front of the shops even though I was weeks ahead for a while, Hachette fucked it up after the 5th delivery And it's not caught up but should have the Votaan and Orks in before Christmas now.

That each Marcachcheann was at one point a Dragonborn who had done wrong to their community and dragged to the Underworld by a Marcachcheann. Where the first came from is subject to speculation but nobody is sure

And transported via a fiery portal to the Underworld. There is only one thing that can stop a Marcachcheann, and that is a weapon made of Dragonborn or pure Dragon bone. Why a Dragonborn and not a human, elf or dwarf nobody is quite sure but the folklore is quite specific.

When a Marcachcheann stops a person in that place will die, and when it's mouth opens, a spectral voice calls out the person's name, within 60 heartbeats that person will die unless they can repent and repay for their sins against their community otherwise their soul is ripped from their body

They are the takers of the souls of folks who have done so much wrong to their own community in the mortal realm and are to be dragged to the Underworld for eternal torment, never to be spun back into the world by the Fate of Ages. There is no bar to the Marcachcheann, no gate or door can stop them

We bit of lore from Hamanshiron the Marcachcheann is a spirit of Valantarian folklore, most often depicted as a headless Dragonkin, with a cutting weapon in one hand & their skull in another, they ride a spectral Leòmhochsan, an 8 legged lion like animal that is native to the mountains of Valantar.

Yooo new worldbuilding dropped!

As a forever GM/Storyteller I have always seen my job is to facilitate the story and give context, inject a bit of humour and atmosphere, give the memorable NPCs to engage with and keep the story flowing. Everything is the rest of the players.

Unpopular opinion. The GM is responsible for only about 10% of how good your game will be. The players actions have a much bigger impact than anything the GM does short of being abusive. If you're not engaging with the story or the other players you're the reason your game

I feel like shite. Has slowed work on the new play test version the last couple days. I have probably half the play test pregens built and the concept for most the rest of them. The rules updates are coming together slowly but surely hoping to have it all done by end of November.

I ordered my year 4 Warhammer + mini, I went with the Inquisitor, I really wish I had the spare £50 this month to get the year outright and get the Spirit seer double quick.

I am hard at work on Legends again.

I need to be up in 6 hours for work. My brain won't shut off. The old ADHD is helping and hurting at the same time

7 games appear with the name Tomas Gimenez Rioja in the middle Stuck & Wretched, Goth Borg, What Is It That Lies Beyond the Immenseness of the Dark?, Guns Blazing, Seas of Vodari, Under the Seas of Vodari, and Paizo's Divine Mysteries book

I am a married man now, and would love to be able to pay my house basics so I can pamper my partner and myself every so often.

So...

I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A JOB / FREELANCE GIGS! ✨
