Yeah! We do this for each character, then base the character design on a mashup of our favourites. It's really fun to pretend you are actually going to get Nick Offerman to do one of your roles!

Can't believe it's been a week since AdventureX! Wristbands still holding up, and yes, I do have a mental age of 14. I will never take them off!

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is currently 50% off on GOG!

A bargain opportunity to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.
