If you're tagging along for my illustration and design related tweets you might like to follow my alter ego @MBarnesDesign, where I'll be posting my work-related stuff from now on. But if you don't mind me blathering on about d20s and goblins occasionaly then stay right here.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN is my go-to Christmas movie, and some new things really stood out to me at this year's viewing.

I want to talk about THIS moment and THIS guy.

This is the story of Red Hair.

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

Through a combination of slightly tipsy bravado and lucky rolls I actually managed to nab the Crown and laid all waste before me. And it only took four hours! Literally the only time I’ve ever finished a game!

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

Hour and a half in and still in the outer region. Will we make it to the middle lands before the beer goes warm and the sun burns cold? #Talisman

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

@PressPachyderm I tried that line too

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

Helping a friend clear out a loft and this box just fell open. Unclear who the owner is and whether they want the contents but I did mention the business of the fee for my assistance…

@thermalsatsuma @davepaters I’m interested if you still need players

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

@theGROGNARDfile @ian_livingstone @stevejacksonuk @dracowie The two men who launched my adventures, and the one who re-launched them 35 years later... Legends all!

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

@AndyTangled Bring it on! Can’t wait, this year’s was a real highlight of the weekend

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

@HPDemonSamurai Having stayed I can assure you that your decision was sound. My nurse is typing this while I lay crying in the corner.

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

On my way back to tedious reality after a magical #Grogmeet2022. Great GMs, great players, great stories, great chats, regrettable quantities of alcohol. Thanks to everyone, hats off to @theGROGNARDfile and @sjamb7 for organising. Time for another stiff espresso methinks…

[2000 AD Comics @2000AD]

Everyone at 2000 AD is devastated to learn of the death of artist Kevin O’Neill.

Our tribute to such an inimitable talent: https://t.co/zlE2r08XqD

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

RIP Kev O'Neill. These have been etched on my brain since the late 80s. The only artist ever banned by the US Comics Code Authority for having an 'objectionable' art style. Legend.

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

@symatt You too. But I don’t envy you your dreamssssssssss

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

I've just updated my graphic design and illustration portfolio. You can download it over on my website https://t.co/TVrhSvSFT7 (on the About page) or just check out my wares there - I'm #openforbusiness and looking for new clients and projects #graphicdesign #illustration

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

@OrlanthR I am if I’m not too late!

@PressPachyderm @Asako_Soh @theGROGNARDfile Naturellement.

[Mark Barnes @B4GI]

Lovely weekend at virtual #OBaWS - crits were rolled, acid was spilled, mysteries solved, blasters blasted and peasants pointed at. Huge thanks to all the excellent GMs and players, and @Asako_Soh and @theGROGNARDfile for organising.

This day, 27th August 1982, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was published with an iconic cover by Peter Andrew Jones @pajartstudio and stunning interior line drawings by Russ Nicholson @RussNicholson. Happy 40th birthday Zagor. May your STAMINA never fail! @fightingfantasy

@PressPachyderm @rta_podcast They can’t possibly cancel the World’s Mightiest Team-up after just one issue, can they? Panther? Paaanther? Why is my pass card not working? Hello?
