- Grindwheel Games Store on TeePublic - 30 January 2022
After the closure of our Shark Robot store, we have been searching for a new home for Grindwheel Game merchandise. I have been experimenting with Tee Public during the week, and have uploaded a number of items in new designs to the store: https://www.teepublic.com/en-gb/user/grindwheel-games-store I hope over the coming weeks I will be able to get art from every game up onto the page, but I am letting people know about this update now, while the items are still in the launch window sales. At the moment I intend to put up the following for every book: The full title and word art. The game's unique logo. The clean cover art. Each of the General art pages. In the future we can look into running polls to see what other artwork people would like to see from each book go into the store. In the meantime, please check out the currently available selection!
- Posters Become Limited Edition - 2 December 2021
Unfortunate news - due to low sales of the posters on Shark Robot, they will sadly be removed from that storefront. I will be looking into finding a way to bring them back on another platform, if possible. But, as this will take time and it not a 100% certain thing, your best bet to get these high-quality prints is to jump in the store as soon as possible. The posters will remain up until the end of the year, at which point they will no longer be available. https://sharkrobot.com/collections/grindwheel-games
- The TATTERED SAILS have been sighted! - 31 October 2021
IT COMES... The TATTERED SAILS have been sighted on the horizon. Something unearthly moves through the fog like a ponderous colossi. The stars wheel overhead. Portents are bleak. Can YOU stand against it? Plunge into an investigation which sees you journey deep into The Grass Sea in search of treasure, only to find horror and death. This latest case has a lot of subtle pathways which can guide you to AN ending. But will it see the evil vanquished for good, or just sent back for a while? Only your choices can decide the outcome. Happy Halloween!
- Minor Bug Fix – Health Display - 25 July 2021
Bug Fix – The health numbers on your character sheet were not updating as expected alongside the health boxes when you used medical supplies. This has been corrected.
- Grindwheel Games and Sanguine Productions 2: Abyss! - 5 January 2021
Grindwheel Games and Sanguine Productions have joined forces once again for their latest Kickstarter - Abyss! A supernatural pen-and-paper RPG in which you play heroes who fight terrible monsters from beyond the realm of nightmares. The game's description is as follows: "The world has secrets in remote corners. Horrors from out of time. Devils that are out for blood. Monsters that feed upon the helpless, in ways beyond mortal understanding. Only a select few have the knowledge or the power to fight the supernatural, and the responsibility to protect the innocent falls upon your shoulders. But within every heart lurks a shadow. The forces that cultivate hate, that prey upon greed, that induce fear and terror... they are not just out there, they are within you. Can you fight with monsters without becoming one yourself?" The project can be found here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sa…
- Spooky Tales for the Winter Sales! - 23 December 2020
As with last year, I will be posting a piece of short fiction and an unreleased page image in time for the holidays. From now on, however, this will happen with the Winter Sale, when all Grindwheel Game products can participate in the promotion. Please enjoy the story, and have a great holiday season! Coming Home Squaring his shoulders, Jessip Kraye walked down the long, dusty road with his head held high. It seemed like a lifetime had passed since he left even though it was less than a month. And, despite all his misgivings, he had returned. It had taken all of his courage, and the plain advice of the old men who worked alongside him in the cannery, but he was finally here to set things right. He could feel the purse of coins bouncing against his hip, and his hand kept dropping to the pocket where he had placed the small, plain ring of sea-gold. It was not much, but it was what he coul…
- Grindwheel Games Posters Expansion! - 26 October 2020
As Red Ripper moves towards release, Shark Robot have added the front cover (The Forgotten Victim) to the list of Grindwheel Games posters and prints available now. The cover art for Pale Harbour is still available, as are the covers for Vile Philosophy and Blissful Ignorance. Check out the link below for more details! https://sharkrobot.com/collections/grindwheel-games
- The Hunter's Journals Credits Cleanup - 18 July 2020
Today's fix is the removal of several links from the credits page. During the review process for Red Ripper, the build was rejected for containing the links to the voice actor's website and Servicescape, as well as calling for people to visit Bandcamp. After seeking further clarification from Steam it seems that links or directions to other websites can, depending on the content of that site, be prohibited based on the guidelines. Obviously Pale Harbour, Vile Philosophy and Blissful Ignorance passed the review process with these links, but for safety's sake I have decided to remove them in case the websites in question – over which I have no control – ever add content which could cause them to fall foul of these rules. The good news is that as a result of implementing this change to the credits page, Red Ripper has passed the review stage, and will be available for the planned Halloween…

- A Winter's Tale and Fan Art - 24 December 2019
Good morning, and happy holidays! As with the Halloween update, I have prepared a spooky story to go with the current sale. This has been split across three different chapters, which will be released through the day. In addition, these announcements will feature artwork by three talented artists. A friend of mine who has played the game has commissioned them to produce images of her hunter, Liliana, and this seems like the perfect place to show them off. The first is by Ryn (@_Rynnu on Twitter). I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Please enjoy the artwork and story! A Winter Tale Part 1 – The Good Doctor “Please, take a seat,” Doctor Louis said quietly, guiding the poor waif towards a padded chair. His study was dark, but the servants had built up the fire before retiring for the night. It cast a flickering glow across the woman's pinched, pale features as the doctor helpe…
- Halloween Tale - The Jonah's Albatross - 31 October 2019
Jonah's Albatross When sailors who ply the Sea of Rust put in to port, the first thing they usually do is purchase a fistful of lucky charms and trinkets. When the crew next gather to set sail, whether it be to haul cargo to the Coastal Kingdoms or simply go on an extended fishing trawl, they will present these objects to the captain. Those deemed most auspicious will be nailed to the mast and rails. The rest the sailors can keep for their own protection. The reason for this strange custom is the Jonah's Albatross. Considered a beast by scholars, this four-winged bird of ill-omen is hated by all seafarers. They are, by some supernatural means, capable of stripping a man of balance and common sense, as well as affecting the laws of probability in an unusual manner. This can cause even an experienced captain to steer through a dangerous reef, or a veteran sailor to lose his sea-legs and g…
