My first new physical map!

One my oldest maps — inspired by the Lion Bridge in Alnwick.

Mad how far things have come… and now it’s finally available as a Premium Matte Paper print you can play on at your own table.

Two more of my early favourites are sitting in drafts (slow and steady 😅), but I’m buzzing to get these original maps back on the store as full physical releases.

__________

Available sizes:

→ 21 × 29.7 cm – £10.99

→ A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) – £14.99

→ A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) – £19.99

Six shapes, six clues — reckon you can name the monsters? 👀

Yesterday, I finally got properly stuck into the book — fully sorted the layout, form, and typography in it, and later on got into the fun bit… the MONSTERS.

From Scotland, to Wales, to England, to the Crown Dependencies and the overseas territories, I wanted to bring monsters I rarely saw in the books I grew up reading — so there may be some you’ve heard of, and some you might not.

For the next four, I’m heading up into Scotland (definitely already know which creature for there), down into England, across into Wales, and then off to somewhere sunny… or not so sunny… for the final overseas territory pick. Haven’t decided which one yet haha.

—◈—

Volume I is definitely taking shape… and the monsters, cryptids, ghosts, and whatever else roam these lands — or the others — are finally getting their spotlight.

INTRODUCING… ✨

Monsters of the British Realms — a spooky, gritty, all‑ages folklore bestiary packed with real legends, Weird creatures and TTRPG hooks.

━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━

When I say British Realms, I mean anywhere under British sovereignty —

England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Crown Dependencies and all British Overseas Territories.

Suggest creatures from any of them.

━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━

Volume 1 will be a tight, fun mix of monsters, ghosts, cryptids and oddities suggested by you — plus a few of my favourites.

40–50 pages. Clean layout. Dyslexia‑friendly. Easy to read.

Old stories never really die…

From Anglo-Saxon times and long before, all the way to the present day — there have always been stories of things that fly, slither, burrow, and glide through walls… and many stranger beings besides.

Old stories never really die…
