It is FREE RPG DAY on Saturday 27th June 2026. But I can't afford to be giving things away so, how about this instead?
For this weekend only, you can purchase the PDF of any ACE Gamebook or ACE Gamebooks Roleplay RPG for just 99p on DriveThruRPG!
Missing an adventure from your collection? Add it today! Thought about trying out The Box of Delights RPG? Now would seem like a good time.
And don't forget to tell all your friends!
It's Father's Day this Sunday, 21st June 2026. If you're still not sure what to get the important Dad, or Dads, in your life*, you could still order one of these gamebook titles to arrive in time for Sunday.
You could even place a Late Pledge to 100 Aker Wood and dedicate it to your Father/Father figure.
* Or if, like me, you buy your own Father's Day gifts. :-p
100 Aker Wood - which is soon to become the ninth ACE Gamebook - funded on Kickstarter last Thursday. Since then, seven people have joined our trek into the Ashdown Forest by placing a Late Pledge, via Kickstarter.
If you would like to place a Late Pledge, and receive a set of art postcards along with your physical copy of the book, simply click this link.
I am attending the UK Games Expo this weekend, at the NEC just outside Birmingham, from Friday 29th - Sunday 31st May 2026.
You will find me in Hall 2, sharing Stand 2-359 with Sir Ian Livingstone.
I will have copies of all the ACE Gamebooks currently in print for sale, including
Shakespeare Vs. Cthulhu: What Dreams May Come, and the 5th anniversary collector's hardback of Dracula: Curse of the Vampire.
I will also have all three of my Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks for sale, but primarily The Kingsport Metamorphosis, which was published earlier this year.
Wayland Games will also be in attendance - in Hall 2, at Stand 2-502 - and will have copies of my Valiant gamebook for sale, which you can then bring to Stand 2-359 to be signed.
Today is World Dracula Day, since today would have been Bram Stoker's 179th birthday. 2026 also marks five years since my gamebook adaptation of Stoker's seminal novel - Dracula: Curse of the Vampire - was first published.
Out now is the 5th anniversary hardback of Dracula: Curse of the Vampire. Where the original hardback had a black cover with red text, this new edition has a red cover with black text. And where the original had red page edges, this new edition has black page edges.
I have also produced a new foil bookmark, which will be give away with copies of the new hardback, which will be on sale at the UK Games Expo next weekend.
Meanwhile, those people who supported the Kickstarter I ran to produce this new edition of the sixth ACE Gamebook, will also receive a pack of artwork postcards, a pair of bespoke black dice, and a pin badge in the form of Dracula's crest.
4pm - The Lone Wolf Award
5pm - Green's Mind: Descent Into Horror
I will also be at the Raven Distribtion stand on Sunday, signing books - specifically the new Italian editions of The Darkness Over Arkham and Neverland: Here Be Monsters! - although I hope to get the chance to have a look at Bologna as well.
