- 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!
- Bug Fix - Good Pistol - 29 August 2021
The bonus to combat for finding the good pistol was not being activated as expected. This has been fixed now.
- Minor Bug Fixes - 25 July 2021
Bug Fixes: 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. Page 655 – the herbalist's herb shop – had a picture when it shouldn't to aid readability of the text. The image has been removed.
- 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! Goggles of Diabolic Vision Classification – Cursed Artefact Threat Rating – Contained These hellish lenses were crafted by the mad artificer Nimmud Timmus alongside many other devices which perverted the science of optics. These included the sinister Carnivore Mirror, and the infamous Doppelgänger Box. Believed by experts to be one of his earlier works, the lenses were originally set into a featureless brass mask. The wearer would barraged by a series of visions, such as the Heavens, Hells and even External dimensions. Keeping the head perfectly still would allow the wearer to view one of…
- 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 Vile Philosophy is still available, as are the covers for Pale Harbour 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 second is by Rosekasart (https://twitter.com/rosekasart). I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Please enjoy the artwork and story! A Winter Tale Part 2 – An Open Fire Warmth and flickering light brought the woman back from the dark place her mind had retreated to. She couldn't yet recall her name, and still felt like a stranger in her own skin. But she began to perceive the world around her in more than the vague, ghost…
- Halloween Tale - The Fog Wardens - 31 October 2019
Fog Warden The old man nodded as the logs in the grate crackled and popped. “Yes, I remember it well. There were seven of them, good hunters all. The marsh-folk had been plaguing travellers again, so they gathered up their followers and headed out onto the moors. This was at the height of the suppressions, you see, so there was still some fight left in those damnable mutants. I can't remember their names, but I remember their faces. They were smiling and joking as they set out in a great cavalcade. “Seven hunters and two dozen soldiers, plus all the staff and porters for their gear. I waved and cheered with all the other children. It was like a festival, yes? The roads were almost clear for the first time in living memory, and these heroes were going to show the last of the bandits what-for.” He paused, his blind eyes gazing into the fire. “The one that made it back...that poor girl. Sh…
