Old pal @benriggs.bsky.social had me on his podcast to interview Chris McDowall of Mythic Bastionland, a new fave indie ttrpg! We talk about improv, Arthurian myth, and of course, the Higgins Armory Museum. Listen: readingdndaloud.libsyn.com/the-ring-kni... Watch: youtu.be/pyxt_y9oV5I

MAC Attack pre-orders are now open if you missed out on the initial crowdfunding mac-attack.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

This was a lot of fun!

Tried my hand at painting a knight in the style of Mythic Bastionland's art, with an interesting result! Now to decide on what to do with the basing. #miniature #painting #mythicbastionland

Tonight was session 1 of our new long-term Mythic Bastionland campaign, with @isaacisafraid.bsky.social as GM. We were: Gormac the Gallows Knight; Remote the Meter Knight; and Vithri the Leaf Knight. And we shanked a tinkerer on the road in cold blood, and by doing so gained Glory. 1/

This looks great! If you needed persuading it has this great table.

I appreciate this sounds like my retirement/obituary but NOT TODAY HATERS. www.bastionland.com/2025/09/buil...

Horrible Knight is a 3rd party adventure @gendershrug.bsky.social & @robbiaburns.bsky.social for MotO games & Mythic Bastionland by @bastionland.bsky.social We have been dying to partner w/Reilly for a while. Pairing them up with Robbi for art is killing I can't wait to reveal the design tech 3/3

Redux of an old post of mine that was borderline unreadable, but which had a nugget of wisdom worth salvaging. There are two totally different types of hexcrawl and nobody else seems to have pointed this out before. knightattheopera.blogspot.com/2025/09/how-...

Hardest job of a ttrpg person is being on holiday, standing on a hill, and trying not to work out how far away 6 miles is.

I missed the 16th Birthday of my most popular blogpost of all time. What's an appropriate anniversary for me to actually finish this? 18? 20? www.bastionland.com/2009/07/100-...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the holding. www.bastionland.com/2025/09/hold...

Today's Glyph N Grok piece is up. Thoughts on utilizing the structure of "Myths" from Mythic Bastionland in a broad sense feels like a paradigm shift for me. glyphngrok.substack.com/p/make-your-...

I fell hard for Mythic Bastionland this summer. Here's exactly how I prepped and ran it (plus a pile of resources). If you're asking "where do I start?", this is for you: elmc.at/running-myth...

I've been camping & thus taking a long due internet break. Serving Up Disaster has 5 days left & £100 left to final stretch goal! Serving Up Disaster is a chaotic comedy #TTRPG of a famous and fiery TV Chef visiting various failing restaurants across the country www.kickstarter.com/projects/mol...

Yeah the game needed more ways to have an indignant death. Go get washed up in a river. www.bastionland.com/2025/08/myth...

When I think about G+.

So I'm in love with this section of Mythic Bastionland. It contains 30 pages of play examples with side-by-side interpretations of how the players are engaging with the rules. I've seen play examples before, obliviously, but the way they're presented here feels unique & scratches my brain right.
