There are a few days left to enter our winter creative competition, on the theme "Aurora". Give any creative response to the theme and there are prizes including two great indie computer games!
Mostly though we'd just really like to see what you've got to enter - be it a sketch, poem, painting, recipe, tune, you name it!
The January 2021 editions of the new Folklore & Fiction dispatch and podcast are published. This month, I'm introducing the ATU tale types to prepare us for a two-year exploration of folkloric motifs and plots from around the world.

New #indiegame Epicinium has been released for FREE on steam and pay-what-you-want on Itch!
Epicinium is a twist on classic grand strategy games: a fast simultaneous-turns battle system and construction of units and factories is complicated by global warming and the environmental damage of warfare lowering the overall score possible over time - as fields turn to mud, forests to tank tracks, is it worth winning the war if all you win is ash?
