I’m excited to announce that Valkyrie Nine has been shortlisted in this year’s UK Games Expo Awards for Best Role-playing Adventure—the same award for which Three Faces of the Wendigo won the People’s Vote in 2018. Last year there was a Judge’s Vote and a Public Vote—I’m not clear at the moment whether this will […]
Leap of Faith
Mother’s Love has been a massive leap of faith for me—one where I have wavered on many decisions. In the outcome, I’m deliriously pleased that it has turned out so well. I hope that you can come and see it in person at UK Games Expo, supporting the continuation of The Cthulhu Hack line. Up […]
Mother’s Love Hardback
All Rolled Up have just taken delivery of the new hardback investigation collection for The Cthulhu Hack—Mother’s Love. A 76-page collection of three investigations, written for The Cthulhu Hack but usable with any system. The book is hardback with a red ribbon bookmark, with a wraparound cover by Wenqing Yan. The collection of three brand […]
Mother’s Love
Mother’s Love is the new release for The Cthulhu Hack, featuring three investigations in (relatively) contemporary settings: investigating murder and kidnapping connected to a backwater orphanage in 50s Canada; actors gather together in celebration of Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary on the islands of Malta; and, looking into the shady practices of a Greek business and an […]
Valkyrie-9 in Print
All Rolled Up will have new stock in store for The Cthulhu Hack from sometime next week, as print copies of new investigation Valkyrie Nine come in. The PDF release of Valkyrie-9 can be found at DriveThruRPG, but for a physical book you will have the option of placing an order through the All Rolled Up web store or catching us at […]
Science Fiction?
This weekend sees the release of a new investigation, Valkyrie-9. After a bunch of playtesting sessions, the time seemed at hand to set the adventure loose on the unsuspecting public. I had a lot of fun running the adventure across several events, each time with a completely different experience and outcome. Valkyrie-9 finds the players […]
Bookhacks of London
Following a post on Twitter by @jonnywaistcoat about an interest in running the excellent Bookhounds of London using the rules set from The Cthulhu Hack, I couldn’t help but take up the challenge of creating a thematically suitable character sheet. I admit, this partially arose as Jonny had made one himself, but also because last […]
The Cthulhu Hack in 2019
I’m not inclined to make predictions or promises! For me, 2018 proved to be a workhorse year where a fair amount got done but not as much got published as I might have hoped. For my part The Dark Brood was published – a short guide to the Cult of Shub-Niggurath – along with the GM […]

At the most basic level, that’s posts on here and the Patreon page. At higher levels, you get early […]

Dragonmeet 2018 Stock
I will be at Dragonmeet in a little under two weeks. Someone asked whether I’ll have anything new to release for the event, and I have to say, “No.” Per recent updates, I’m focused on getting the content in a good state and releasing everything at a fair pace, when it’s ready. That means Quarter […]
Winter 2018 Update
I cannot believe that 2018 whisked by so fast. Where did the time go? The Dark Brood released earlier this year had been selling well. The core books have had a cover refresh and as stock depletes I’ll phase those in to general sales. The upcoming supplement of three adventures, tentatively named Mother’s Love, will […]
Gamemaster’s Screen
Usable as either a set of screen inserts or reference sheets, the Cthulhu Hack Gamemaster’s Screen features the essential tables and notes you need in one place for handy reference. Using the same clear typeface as the Core Book, it works (eyesight permitting!) even when reduced to A6 size for the Hammerdog Games Mini-screen:
Strange Encounters Bundle
As a Doctor Who fan and a freelance tabletop RPG writer, I always find my worlds colliding. Indeed, even as I watched the first episode of the new series, I was taking notes to add stats for the Stenza! To start with, I’ve created a simple tabletop roleplaying game called Renegade, just a few hundred […]
