I'm heading to London tomorrow for a string of walking tours.

Here are three of the signs that I'll be showing on my Stoke Newington walk.

You can go into the ALT text on these images to learn more about the individual signs, and to see transcriptions of those in with multiple layers of text.

These descriptive texts are taken from my digital walks: ghostsigns.co.uk/tours

I know this sort of thing isn't to everyone's taste, but I'm really appreciating the steady decay of this shop.

Much of Italy still uses noticeboards, so every now and then you come across one like this, where the traces of death announcements, political campaigns, circus adverts and so on, lie exposed until the next thing covers them.

Names of the Lost & Forgotten - Palimpsest
A Palimpsest Name Generator

ratgrrrl-games.itch.io/hollow-

This is a name generator for my setting and hexcrawl, Palimpsest, but works for anything with a dark, macbre, or horror aspect to it.

These are mostly names from Palimpsest, Soulsbornes, 40K, etc. with a bunch of random things thrown in.

I will periodically update and expand the list.

Currently: 456 entries!

Update Font & Layout Preview

ratgrrrl-games.itch.io/palimps
A little update to show the new layout accommodating the new body & quote fonts

This is the first 19 pages - everything up to and including the hexmap. The encounters & the rest will be updated in time, once I have the commissioned art of Vestiges of the Inexpungible from the brilliant Justin Vandermeer of Shouting Crow Press

I am still wrangling my brain and chronic conditions and I will keep you updated!

Mastodon is like putting a nice white gesso layer over Twitter, brushing on a very thin coat of liquid clear, and creating a happy little feed

Hieroglyphs, runes, cuneiform, aramaic script; each oriented in its own plane, yet the composition does not truly eliminate any one of them.
Translations are non-sensical, as if the texts were carved by those who had lost their minds.
Only two things are clear in each.
A single, common symbol - a winged-serpent, and a unique date.
The period between the dates is about to expire once more...

Parl, the head curator, hurried through the grand central library. The high alchemist had requested an ancient palimpsest text containing fragments of various orations on the transmutation of metal. The only problem was an inexperienced paige misshelved the dusty tome and now Parl had to search through several hundred book shelves to locate it.
