I've wanted one of these weird lil guys forever, and lucked out finding one in the UK. Shown here flying in the More Skies Backdrop Book in A3. Little bit of photoshop to remove the wire. :)

A Spooky wooden hut in dark woods at night. Bloated, sickly coloured smoke plumes from the chimney. The moon shines bright hidden partially by the tree line.

A piece of art from FiveEvil -  a montage with a man smoking a cigarette overlays with a round ashtray full of stubbed out cigarettes. The word “PUSH” appears written backwards, as if it’s on the other side of a glass door or seen in a mirror. A piece of FiveEvil art that montages a nuclear explosion into a painterly US city scape. It’s all in reds and oranges. A gloomy painterly image in earthy tones of two figures wandering towards a ruined Manor house. A montage from FiveEvil. A tall image of a railway tunnel or mine, with a skeleton lying between the tracks. Above the tunnel is a painterly rendition of a pistol.

Diving into some FiveEvil art tomorrow for the new book “Netherworlds”. Really enjoyed working on these - montages and paint overs and assemblages is something I’ve always enjoyed doing, way back to the earliest days of my art foundation course. Nothing is wasted eh? FiveEvil is a handsome book.

FiveEvil: Fiendish 5e Horror Tearing 5e apart for a truly terrifying horror game experience

Hi new followers! I'm a #ttrpg designer and #nzpol despair-er, expect to see lots of both. Currently my brain is:

TTRPG: my game #FiveEvil Fiendish 5E Horror (for people who love 5E AND people who hate 5E) closes soon on Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

A painterly illustration of elf cavalry charging some orcs.the elves are painted in bluish green, and the orcs are mauve and rusty colours. A painterly illustration of what appears to be an Early English hero with sword and shield facing off against a massive giant, who is bent on one knee to talk to them. An evil-looking army of spiky fellows is arrayed behind the giant.

As well as working on our own games, we make art, graphics and layout for other folks! Midgard Heroic Battles is arriving with pre-order customers, so it seems like a good time to share some of the art I made for this cool wargame by @mogsymakes.bsky.social, published by @toofatlardies.bsky.social

Art from a|state by Paul Bourne. We see what looks like a food outlet set in some sort of urban tunnel. There are pipes and wires everywhere, and the light is a sickly green and yellow. A painting from BEOWULF Age of Heroes by Jon Hodgson. We see a meadhall by night, its door glowing from the fire within. Two carved poles stand on either side of the path to the doorway. The moon is in the sky. A witch from Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland, in the curious photographic art style of that game using sets and models and a lot of smoke machine. The witch has a mask made from a poppy seed head with two small eyeholes. It looks a bit like a vegetable gas mask. The cover painting from FiveEvil Splinters part three. We see a fractured, cubist/ David Hockney inspired image of an evil looking man in a suit. He is grinning evilly as he adjusts the buttons on his jacket.

Hey new followers! We’re Handiwork Games and we make #astate second edition, #Beowulf Age of Heroes, #maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland, and are currently on Kickstarter with #FiveEvil. We like to think we make games as good as the big companies while being just a handful of folks doing our best.

Yesterday Clive Evil received two requests to “review” roleplaying game products.

What have I done?

There’s a very dangerous issue here because Clive is not scripted. He also does almost everything in one take.

Clive is just yet another very clever/stupid thing in a very long line of such things

Terror Encounters YouTube video by Handiwork Games


What *is* a Terror Encounter? wondered Clive, as he wandered the lonely halls of his secret cellar lair. Perhaps he would watch some TV and find out? After all, it wasn't like Morgan Davie, the weird little telly boy, had anything else to do either.

Pages from a|state showing art and layout by Paul Bourne. We see a spread from the characters section. The left hand page begins the chapter with a menacing looking older character glaring at us. On the right hand page we see a viewpoint looking up through the gantries and walkways of a crowded looking tower block. The opening spread to the Locations chapter featuring art and layout by Paul Bourne. The left hand page opens with a scene of the sun setting over crowded apartment blocks. The right hand page shows an illustration of a fire on top of a run down tower block, covered in rubbish, graffiti and make shift dwellings. A character illustration from a|state second edition by Jon Hodgson. We see a young woman of East Asian heritage dressed in a leather jacket, a big scarf. She has lots of pouches and wears knee pads and chunky boots. A character illustration from a|state second edition by Jon Hodgson. We see a young man of apparently southern Asian heritage dressed in a worn, layered clothing.

For a|state second edition we wanted to have several artists working on it so we could make a generous amount of art. We pushed a previously-developed style, closely referencing photographs and using painted-over montages to complement Paul Bourne’s beautiful CG imagery, key to the setting.

Clive answers his many letters about Wee Stevie his dog. He also reveals some facts, and then goes on to comment on the political issues of the day.

Let’s talk about the more and less oblique politics in our games.

BEOWULF age of Heroes: mechanically makes the point that “a lone hero” needs a band of loyal companions and a ship’s crew to achieve anything.

It’s dedicated to those who battle monsters.

A photograph showing a selection of pages from the Handiwork Games catalogue. We see the a|state spread, the FiveEvil spread and the Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland spread. In the background we see several piles of catalogues.

Looks like menus are back on the menu, boys. Catalogue restock is in.

Forgot to add the little circles so you can tick em off when you’ve caught em all.

Just added two new Add Ons to the #FiveEvil campaign: it's only #astateRPG! This is such a great piece of work, bending Forged in the Dark to suit the themes of The City. And to celebrate Morgue's efforts there, I'm subsidising the shipping of this add on.

FiveEvil is 5e horror dialled up to the max.
If you play #DnD and you want to try some contemporary horror - check out Splinters, which is entirely free! Take your 5e players into a horror mini-campaign they will never forget.
(What is Lisken and how can he be stopped? Maybe they’ll never know…)
