Live: Clodagh Kickstarter
We are live!
The Clodagh - Vengeance of the Witch Kickstarter went live Monday, collecting all 5 issues in the story into one beautiful book. With art by Willi Roberts, letters by Rob Jones and story by me.

This is also the first title in the Blue Fox Fall 2025 season! All the books can be seen in the image below, and are available (in physical format only) as a special reward with a 10% discount to help with those pesky tariffs!

It’s another short campaign, with only 8 days left on the clock, and early-bird rewards finishing on Friday!

Live: Systemic Kickstarter
The Systemic Anthology Kickstarter enters its last week. It’s fully funded, so the book is going ahead - my story is called CO-N-DO, and it’s great.

But it’s not all about me (so I’m told) - there are seven other fantastic creative teams bringing a wealth of experience and skill to this book!

Blue Fox Tabletop Website Announcement
A new month, a new website!
Everything’s cyclical, and I’m back using Wordpress for our latest addition, bluefoxtabletop.com!
Initially, it just has some of our gamebooks and Bluff Pastry on there, but I will start adding the comics. There is a 10% tariff charge for US customers.
Why a new website, you ask? The main reason is it’ll give us back more control over how our products are displayed, and Wordpress has a lot of functionality in the shape of plugins. Plus, the parent company doesn’t actively promote views that we don’t align with.
The website displays a popup about an email list - this is a list dedicated to games, so feel free to sign up if you’d like to know more.
You can use the link above or the button below to take a closer look.

Plus, under the Comic Creator of 2025 (Script, Art, Lettering or Colouring) category, our very own Rob Jones is going toe-to-toe with some comic-book titans (not that he isn’t one)!
If we do win an award, it’ll give Blue Fox (and Marielle & I) a massive boost!
Obviously, there are a bunch more fantastic creators, comics and shops to vote for, so head on over and pick your winners!
Thank you for reading until the end!
Speak soon and stay safe,
