Lukalock

Final call for preorders on my incredibly rad/romantic/tragic solo #ttrpg zine about a huntress and her monster.

We also have the rest of the Unplaytested Presents catalog available in the store for way cheaper than normal, so check that out while you're browsing! 💪🐺

Patchwork Fez Games Horrible games for lovely people.

Ok, to celebrate Darkened Hill & Dale's ENNIE nomination, and because my web shop is the ONLY place to get a copy (as I have yet to arrange distribution)...

Shipping is heavily discounted until mid August – even for international folks.
In fact, it's free in some cases!

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif.
Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rinds, Indiana Jones, or Marvel.

An old-style pop up window with the title, "It's nearly October". The text reads, "Time to get spooky!" next to a skull. The buttons say "Yes" and "Hell Yes"

Happy first Halloween item spotted in stores day to those who celebrate

Your one-shot characters waiting for you to play with them again:

A slightly rocky trail hedged by green growth on either side, with overcast skies and foggy mountains in the background. On the trail about 10 meters ahead are two sheep heading towards Lukalock, the photographer.

Bit of a traffic jam on the trail in Wales today.

It's great seeing everyone's tips for keeping cool. Here's mine.
i) Take a trip to the mountains.
ii) Spend some time in a cooling cave.
iii) Find an underground lake.
iv) Get undressed.
v) Hunt the silvery fish and eat them raw.
vi) Forget the torments of the evil face in the sky.

One of the biggest disappointments in moving to the UK is that when people are talking about pie it is never the kind that I am hoping for. Just once I would like it to be fruit, not sausage or potato.

Haha yes please to a loyalty card! Free haunted zine with every 10 games, right?

Almost forgot to post my haul from UKGE. So excited to play these! @exstasisgames.bsky.social @caesar-ink.bsky.social

#UKGE was amazing! So happy to finally meet so many people in person and chat about games.

Picture of Lukalock's hand with dark blue painted nails, holding a sea shell. In the background is the sand and water of the beach shore.

I know it's not quite summer yet, but I couldn't wait any longer for a beach swim.

Oooh ok I'll try that!

honestly it's been impossible to get root beer/sarsaparilla over here so it was a really nice surprise to find something that tasted somewhat similar!

Photo of Lukalock's hand with dark blue painted fingernails, holding a can of "Dandelion & Burdock" soda. In the background is a wooden desk with a keyboard and a bobblehead figure of Dwight from The Office TV show.

I have recently discovered Dandelion & Burdock here in the UK, and what I thought at first was a 70's crime fighting duo was actually a delicious soda.

However, much like Irn Bru - I have no idea what the actual flavor is.

I’m not classically educated, but I know a trap when I see one.

Time for a re-read.

An illustration set against a bright red background. At the bottom half of the illustration is a rabbit, mid run. It's head is pointed down and the iris of it's eye is the same red as the background. Text overlaying the image says 'If they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you.' Which is from Watership Down by Richard Adams.

I wish to someday find a pizza that tastes as good as it looked in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Good timezone, folx! 👋🏻

As I've been given a heads up that my hours at my main work are likely to be slashed soon to save costs, now seems a perfect time to remind you that I am available for freelance writing work.

If you come across any leads, especially within the ttrpg space, do let me know! 🫶🏻

My favorite thing about backing Kickstarters is that I eventually forget about them until something new and shiny shows up for me in the mail. It's like a little surprise gift from past me.

A photo of the book Darkened Hill & Dale by Patchwork Fez Games, sat on a table next to a stylised bookmark and a booklet of handouts and listed contents for the collection of British countryside horror scenarios for tabletop roleplaying games.

Extremely excited about today's arrival in the post!!! Can't wait to play some Brtish countryside horror scenarios. @irny.bsky.social #ttrpg
