As this long out of print and particularly hard to find little devil has recently reemerged on Kickstarter I thought I’d pull out this old review from the vaults. Give it a polish and put it up here in case you missed it the first time. Having looked at the new edition other than some […]
The H.I.V.E. agents were slumming it, really. They stood at the gates waving in cars, handing out lanyards to retailers, entertainers and convention-goers. A car pulled up with a honey badger lying on the roof, one paw doing its best to keep a top hat in place. “Show me your pass,” one of the agents […]
Lozlyn runs through the streets of Redrow, in a mad panic. The guards are knocking on doors, getting closer to his squat in a crappy tenement building. Across the road a man who built his religion around a firearm shouts obscenities at people for assumed wrongs. His armour belches out smog and his daughters threaten […]

Quick comparisons are to having lag between my brain and my body. My spatial coordination is horrendous, as are […]
I’ve been silly busy over here and not really had the time to show at lot of WDR love. But I did just guest on the wonderful We’re Not Wizards Podcast. So why not settle yourself down for an hour or so of chit chat and nonsense. And if you like that then I strongly […]
