Pride month is complicated. If you’ve been following what we do for any length of time, you probably know that Rowan, Rook and Decard likes to make games that are about something.

This world is sour. And here, sourer still – a rotten knot of rust and ruin, boiling beneath the real. A Hollow. Hollows is our upcoming full-length all-singing-all-dancing game which features: If you’ve enjoyed Chris and Grant’s work on Spire and Heart (or indeed one of the dozens of other titles to their names) then […]
Full disclosure: the headline is an exaggeration. The author’s life wasn’t in danger at any point. But it’s more exciting than “area man gets incredibly invested in free miniatures wargame,” isn’t it? Findlay got in touch with me over Instagram and said that he’d gone all out on playing Plastic Bastards, my well-intentioned stab at […]

It’s a roleplaying game about a comic about roleplaying games about love and the nature of being. Obviously. But what if it was really weird as […]
PAY ATTENTION. Can you feel it? A wretched knot of rust and ruin. A creeping cancer beneath the skin of the real. A wound in the world. A HOLLOW. The Isles – your home, the haggard heart of a lost empire – is beset by them. Sickness, murder, madness and poverty wash across the land in […]
