Of to London Comicon. I am, allegedly, doing a panel at 3pm on the Sunday, but it’s still not on the website. Is it happening? Will my guest pass work? If five authors talk about “Gaming Influences or How To Kill A Zombie In 10 Days”, does anyone hear it?

i gave mine a little hat

The thing about the Irish electoral and political system is that you think you’re jaded until the ballot boxes open and every time you do you’re reminded: God, this is great fun looking at what’s happening. By design or chance or both, we found the perfect system for our predelictions.

You have enough NetGalleys, I tell myself. But, oh look, a new @mytholder.bsky.social and a new @emilymandel.bsky.social - well NOW I have enough…

My adventure-craving, dungeon delving, ttrpg playing self is loving The Dungeon Book by Gareth Hanrahan! @mytholder.bsky.social @orbitbooks.bsky.social #bookblogger #TheDungeonBook

🤣 Start your UKGE Saturday with a laugh! Rolling in the Aisles: Humour in RPGs featuring Chris O'Neill, Anna Blackwell, Allen Varney, Gareth Hanrahan, Fleur Sciortino and James Wallis.

We are playing through this now, helmed by wise old wizard @rossignol.bsky.social! It draws together a fantastically consequential and rich tapestry of people, cultures and relationships. Can't get enough of it.

Recent acquisitions.

A rather nice HANDS OF THE WHITE WIZARD review to open the day: pressplaynews.net/2026/05/20/h...

Damn it I watched the Hollows rpg trailer again and now I really want to play it again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NoD...

As a reminder, this can now be requested on netgalley, preordered on Audible, preordered from your local friendly bookstore, preordered from your global unfriendly megacorp, wait you own a global megacorp I didn't know that anyway there's a book and you may wish to read it

@mytholder.bsky.social Pre-orders have dropped on the App for The Dungeon Book.

Fate of the Fellowship, one turn before it all falls apart when a million orcs wander out of Moria and stomp Lorien.

And we are live with 4 new Backdrop Books! www.kickstarter.com/projects/han... #jhbackdrops

The overwhelming urge to write “quaint English village on the edge of the unknowable zone” and then remembering Mythago Wood exists.

STOP PRESS yesterday @sinblache.bsky.social described Tarkovsky’s STALKER as “The Detectorists, but Russian” and I may never recover

the only video worth rescuing from my deleted twtter

Also if you love @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social 's Long Live Evil-or just in general understand that I have ✨️Good Taste✨️ I beg you to check out any number of things from @kierongillen.bsky.social Kieron is how I found Long Live Evil, we should all be grateful More gushing below, but please read Die

I know Death is a band but this is the most ominous YouTube video title I’ve ever seen

One of the interesting tangential aspects of Trump's visit to China is that he can't control the media output. Some of the photos are UNREAL. Had to check this carefully suspecting it was altered or AI gen, but I have found it on three known press outlets with credit to a global photo agency. 😱

On a train!

Black and white TV is dying. Color TV struggles to be born. This is a time of Munsters.

Attempting to leave Dublin after a fun time at @ilfdublin.bsky.social - train has broken down in Naas. Will I have to make a new life here? Should I set off cross-country? Rationing my water and mints.

I ORDER MY COFFEE BLACK. NO SUGAR. NO MILK. NO WATER. NO CUP. THEY HAND ME THE BEANS. I EAT THEM IN THE PARKING LOT LIKE A HORSE. THE BARISTAS HAVE STOPPED CHARGING ME. I HAVE NOT SLEPT SINCE TUESDAY. I CAN HEAR THE WIFI

In panel on trilogies @ilfdublin.bsky.social - @mytholder.bsky.social just mentioned a crucial rarely-mentioned stage of plotting. ‘Hate myself. Thoughts of despair.’ #booksky

Today, miniatures are nearly always seen as gray plastic, but scholars postulate that they were originally meant to be covered in bright, vivid paint. Using sophisticated imaging techniques, researchers can reveal how these figures were possibly intended to appear:

An absolute giant. @adamroberts.bsky.social is quoted too... Source: The Guardian share.google/Apx9OVTnfYjR...

"He cannot be killed by conventional weaponry" "He's not even remotely human any more" "He will spread like a plague, bringing sorrow and woe to every corner of the land unless the One Ring is cast into Mount Doom"

I've been trying to sell some friends on a "Tales from Eriador" campaign by describing it as the "Andor" to Lord of the Rings's "A New Hope". freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/the-lor...

This will be the first search for a new James Bond that won't involve the film's long-standing producers, the Broccoli family. Which is a shame, because they had an interesting way of screentesting all potential new Bonds with a really odd scene, for a really clever reason. Mini 🧵

A post in the middle of this thread from my day-by-day read through of LOTR just got liked and reminded me that this was a good one

TOMORROW! TWO WRITERS ENTER. ONE WRITER LEAVES. then another writer leaves. or maybe they leave at the same time, I don't know, I guess it depends on the turnaround time between panels, I haven't done ILFD before but I'm pretty sure we have to leave at some point unless oh god is this a trap?

And not a word of a lie.

Thanks to Katie Carr on Threads, I just learned: in 1996, the cast of the newly-launched “Star Trek: Voyager” got together to do a feature for Parade magazine about the power of late-’90s technology. Behold its fabulously unhinged glory. 1/

Ad Astra Games learned about in-house Print-on-Demand publishing from Timeline Ltd's new owners when they reprinted The Morrow Project. I knew of a new kind of laser printer with lower costs-per-click. We shared what we knew with Amarillo Design Bureau, who adopted the process post-haste.

There is no triumph as lonely as coming up with a clever solution to a problem in a book, where (a) the complex problem and the equally clever solution are both things you made up and have no real-world analogues and (b) so deep into the book that you can’t explain them to anyone who hasn’t read it.

Just realised I have no idea how to do that little surprised eyes emoji thing
