Thrilled to see coverage of the bundle on Vice News! www.vice.com/en/article/n...

Space Weirdos and Sword Weirdos covers. Drawing for @caseyg.bsky.social games is always fun. Highlight of my so called career. I need more wargames commissions!

15 days left to apply!

Really interesting read from wargamer.com about the amazing work on the upcoming Zeo Genesis miniatures game and the US manufacturing they’re doing and how tariffs are STILL gonna mess it all up.

Oh we, sadly, can go a bit further back than a mere 25 years… Of course back in the Rogue Trader era our toy tanks were a little less, let’s say, Codex Compliant

Nice piece from @explorersdesign.bsky.social on creating a new logo for an RPG newsletter, making me feel shit about both ours & our overall design again though 🧐

You can pick up a huge FallenRPG / Perplexing Ruins bundle at @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social ! www.exaltedfuneral.com/products/fal... selling this out would be amazing, and show that folks that risked a lot resources for print my stuff that it's worthy!

my most popular post from the weekend was that of the Battlezone game and I hope you will all go take time to look at and check out their work brigademodels.co.uk/mws/blog/202...

Coolest thing I've seen at Salute today: this minis version of the classic early-80s Atari arcade game Battlezone. Not the digital-to-tabletop adaptation I'd expected to find, but wow.

We are just over the halfway point for SOLO BORG and just short of $75,000. Which is madness. I'm about to drive to London for a week to be slightly trapped in a room with my lovely kids, but I'm looking forwards to playing loads of games too! Lets see if we manage to beat 75K over the weekend...

Behind its kitsch reputation, the popularity of the British garden gnome suggests a long-standing yearning for magic and connection with the Earth. @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social writes An Earthy History of the British Gnome for The Elemental Issue. 👉🏼 Pre-order now on helleborezine.com

Babe wake up, new universal resolution mechanic dropped

James invited me on The Ultimate RPG Podcast to chat about Death of the Author, being an "RPG communicator", and to create a ridiculous evil megacorporation

Hey everyone, Just a quick note - Mayday is not an official Mongoose event, we are not involved in any way other than a few interviews, and this art is not from us! Mayday is completely fan-run, at their own expense. Now...

Many of you have been with us on this journey since Day 1, but for those who are just discovering us for the first time? Hi, we're Certified Forgotten, and we're here to make sure that every horror movie gets the love it deserves.

first we've heard of this & no idea what it's like so don't take it as an endorsement EXCEPT for this art is very great and we 100% fully endorse protecting the terrified out of his depth frog who appears to have stumbled into a shitshow, the fox is cool too but they can probably handle themselves

Come for the look back at the most important magazines in RPG history, stay for the bleak (if sadly not inaccurate) assessment of our financial situation 👍 Luckily it’s within YOUR power to ensure we survive another 40 years by buying a copy of the mag today, just one will do it! shop.wyrd.science

I'll be talking about magic and witchcraft in 70s & 80s pop culture in relation to magic in RPGs, plus The Satanic Panic of the 1980s! This Sunday at 11am, if you fancy it...

Honestly, we still 100% expect to find out in the coming days that someone in the Trump administration has inserted an incredibly specific carve out for the import Black Templar space marine models

“I wanted to elevate board gaming to the same level as cinema, literature, theatre”: Senet editor Dan Jolin celebrates five years of publishing board gaming’s most beautiful magazine boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @senetmagazine.bsky.social @danjolin.bsky.social

we love @johnhiggs.bsky.social's writing, so that he's written a new book on Doctor Who - & that from this extract it seems like it'll be right up there with his KLF one & the essential Stranger Than We Can Imagine - is just wonderful news extract over at @thequietus.com

My book about the history & culture of tabletop games, ACROSS THE BOARD ('The Game Changers' in the UK) is out in the US on May 6th. The subtitle is 'How Games Make Us Human' & it's a good subtitle because that is what the book is about. Preorder here: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/across-the...

bumping this will reply to everyone who's emailed us so far, but one small clarification. we are not looking for fiction writers to submit stories (at this time - we will at some point though) I'm looking for people who want to write ABOUT SF/F/H etc fiction (and tbh similar non-fiction)

We had literally gone to put in a massive @weirdwalk.bsky.social order yesterday, got distracted & left it all in our basket, well, praise Crom! As they’ve just put the brand new issue 8 on sale today… shop.weirdwalk.co.uk/products/ww-...
