Hello Quest Builders, thank you for your patience!

I'm currently working towards a more organised output, I want to make sure you're seeing the content you want to see!

So because of that on Facebook I'm going to concentrate on gaming and videos and on my Instagram page I'm doing TTRPG art content like dungeons and dragons and Call of Cthulhu and painted warhammer miniatures.

I've been making the Addams Family recently, including their house, and I have daily community driven plot hooks over on my IG.

Stay tuned for more Minecraft videos and adventure map updates on here very soon.

And on my YouTube channel I'll be doing a mix of all of it!

Thank you again, your support really means a lot.

Here's a few pictures from the charity livestream with Mr Sinn Sinny and Bootsy Davrot this weekend with £500 raised by the amazing community! There is links in the description for the full video stream that I appear in :)

My voice appears at the very end of this, I hadn't really intended to record myself for a while, let alone do a livestream but as it's out there now I might as well own up to having it!

This weekend I was lucky enough to help out with Mr Sinn Sinny Gamings 24 hour charity livestream and all of our amazing supporters helped to raise an absolu...

Recently there has been more than the occasional cut purses worth of thefts in Derry, though most are much too distracted to pay attention.

One elderly local, old man Prothers, sits agitated in the Sink Inn as a group of younger men laugh of his claims of creatures in the night, crawling in through his open window like tiny horrific bandits.

He claims his new puppy was taken and though he's not the easiest man to talk to he seems sincere and offers to guide you to where he thinks they travelled to, into the Twisted Forest...

Here's another plot hook for you 😊 I'm thinking if doing a post early in each post asking for two word prompts, which then through the month I'll make into plot hooks with little pictures.

Comment and let me know if you think it's a good idea and, if you want to, a two word prompt to kick off with tomorrow!

This weekend I was lucky enough to help out with doing a 24 hour and all of our supporters helped to raise an absolutely brilliant 500 pounds for the

Here is a few stills from their time inside the but if you'd like to check out the full of their time please do head over and check it out, links below. My voice appears at the very end if this, prepare for an English West Country accent!

Their time inside has taught me a few bits and pieces I need to perfect but it has also really made me start to get excited about having more community events inside the I'm writing!

There will be lots more content soon, Collabs with other content creators, and videos and I plan to do some on my Belarian setting, going through the lore and various factions and peoples that populate it.

Come join me over on , I post daily with various plot hooks, maps and all sorts of other bits and pieces I enjoy to make.

Part 2 of Mr Sinn Sinnys 24 hour stream, the begins at 5:32:00 as we played at 10:30 after my kids had gone to bed!

Here's uncle Fester, banging his drum to the theme tune!

In theory I thought this would be the simplest one to do, uncle Fester is generally in just a heavy dark coat, but I wanted it to be more than just that.

He had an undercoating of Armegeddon dust texture all over his clothes to simulate the filth and then I decided to go the white belt to black belt route e.g. It starts off white and then turns black from all the blood, sweat and tears that years of practice produces.

So he got lots of dry brushed layers of colours as I built up the detritus of years in the folds of his cloak.

Now I'm off to edit down some footage from the livestream I was helping with at the weekend, I'm hoping to cut about an hour down to thirty seconds so wish me luck 😅

A young girls father, usually so sure out in the woods among nature, has gone missing just days after he was found sobbing walking the streets of Derry looking for his long gone wife.

Now the girl too has vanished and no one is sure if she went after him into the woods or went to other, older, forests to find the mother that she never knew...

A liitle teaser for the Druids Daughter encounter which features one water spirit and exactly zero actual druids.

I like this drawing although im not sure it comes across very well that she's standing on water!

06/01/2021

Here's a couple of shop signs and Mayor Gius offices in Derry that she can often be seen busily bustling in and out of with her beleaguered secretary.

I'm working on some more of the little stamp pieces for the setting pack, I'm pleased with these so far and thinking of the various ways to colour them in the future.

I'll post some of the various monsters, encounters and quests in the town this evening, currently doing the antagonist in the Druids Daughter plot hook at the moment.

Feel free to use any of this stuff if you like it, everything not specifically posted in Patreon I'm more than happy for people to just use for their own games and settings (though filming rights are already spoken for if that ever comes up 😂)

It's Wednesday, halfway through the week and middle child of the Addams!

I'm enjoying doing these, they're a fun little side project and I have some ideas on how I'm going to finish this Addams Family theme, let's just say all those amazon boxes from Christmas will be coming in handy!

Wednesday was and still is my favourite from the family, I think she's probably been the most influential out of them all in the movie. Gomez has crept up as a very close second, probably beause I am a dad now and you can really see the passion that Raul Julia put into his role as caring but misunderstanding father.

I'll put some more info on him in his own post though, this one is Wednesday Addams time!

She has 'braided' pigtails which I did by snipping the very edges of her robes, I've tried to get a picture but living in England the sun is more of a vague threat than a promise at the moment 😂

She also has a rather large locket of golden blonde hair attached to her belt. I think Amanda didn't get the hint when they mentioned scalping...

Quick update on the Belarian things I'm working on. As I missed the deadline for my first official release thst I wanted to do I've decided to add to it slightly as something of an apology.

So now instead of just an introductory 'session 0' it will also be that and the whole first setting, the town of Derry pictured here I'm inking at the moment.

It will have a full town description, multiple encounters and quests and at a low estimate at least twenty named and described NPCs with their own small motivations

My favourite is the divination wizard that only uses his powers to look into the future at the next day and plan it around his many frequent trips to the toilet. Old age cares not for power and neither does a weak bladder!

I'll include suggestions for continuing stories as it's all done in a way that almost everything could be a plot hook if delved into but not overwhelmingly so. There will also be a Derry part two sometime in the future, after we've gone through the other settings, as we start to travel through a land affected by the ongoing campaign.

I'm also going to try to stop putting hard deadlines on myself, just in case any last minute disasters happen!

Thank you everyone for your sypport and understanding yesterday, it has helped a lot to know that when the clouds lift I have something to busy myself with that people enjoy to see so thank you again!

This is the first of the family, Pugsley, and I think my favourite so far even though I couldn't think of a good pun that didn't involve dogs and parsley in the last post about them 😅

He's not perfect, the lines are a bit shaky as my hands seem to still be in tremble mode, but I'm happy with him so far and I'm shooting more for enjoyable anyway as they'll be sitting somewhere on my shelves 😊

I'm not sure if it really comes across in the pictures but I put some textured armageddon dust on his weapon and the bottoms of his robes, I figure Pugsley is a young lad and its appropriate to have a little filth on him, uncle Fester on the other hand has had a fairly Liberal coating all over!

I'll post updates on these till they're all finished, Gomez and his pinstripe suit I'm leaving for now as I'd like to have his lines crisper if I can calm my hands down a little.

We all know who I'll be posting a pic of tomorrow 😊

I've had a fairly severe plunge today back into chest tightening, hand trembling anxiety.

I'm not always going to post updates when this happens because I would like to concentrate on helping.

I think it's important to at least give you this update though.

I know this is stress and trauma based anxiety. I have some fairly strong and generally OK medication I have to take for stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia and my eating problems.

That doesn't make it easier to cope with when this happens but I do at least now know I wasn't born broken, which is the sort of thing you think in the dark time.

This isn't an illness I'll recover from through these tablets, I'll be taking them or some form of them for the rest of my life. They just help to normalise the imbalances in chemicals that my brain is not wired to replace.

The imbalances are also not an illness or something I was born with. I spent over twenty years numbing myself because it seemed easier and through that I've just trained my brain to be it's own ally and worst enemy.

Now l I have something of a better balance, I'm busy with everything I'm working on, the meds work and various other things have improved. This doesn't mean I'm better though.

If anything the highs have made the lows harder to deal with. My doctor says it will get easier, I just don't know how to cope with feeling actual emotions which in and of itself was a weird thing to hear be confirmed to me.

Validation, maybe, but more just be careful what you wish for I think.

This isn't a do or don't post. Everyone is different and come from different places of pain and comfort.

This is to let you know that I'm not ashamed to have these issues and neither should anyone else be about theirs.

Just please look after yourselves and the ones around you.

The lows might feel like you're drowning or that you've landed on some new deep level in an abyss of darkness but just know when it feels like that final gasping breath comes you won't die. You'll take some ragged deeps breaths and then still be strong enough to keep going and cope with the darkness.

Just don't give up. Fight your demons and know that I'm fighting them too.

I've been helping my son put his new Age of Sigmar starter kit together this morning, there's some pretty great perks to being a parent!

I was watching clips of one of my favourite movies as I went along and its inspired an idea for something of A Damned Family using some of my other bits I haven't used yet.

I don't want the idea to Fester too much so I'll paint them and base them on Wednesday And Am looking forward to Lurching into action!

Once I have a Thing or two sorted out I think these should look great, although Im so tired right now I might well Go Mad and end up at the Morticians.

I'll try to add some terrain or some extra bits like a Pew But i won't promise, trying to Value some Family time!

Also Pugsley.
