Chaosium wishes Jane Austen a belated 250th birthday. We’re not sure if Regency Cthulhu is entirely what she had in mind, but her wit and verve certainly inspired us....

There are 4 types of guys online. No exceptions.

Me: Hey Gemini, what is the absolute worst possible example for an AI prompt to encourage people to use you? Gemini: How about outsourcing human connection and gratitude, while abrogating involvement in a child's education? Me: Nailed it.

goddammit I'm sending Ea-nāṣir another email we're going to get this shit straightened out

all the Prometheus, Icarus, Palantir, Erebor, etc. shows that none of these guys - none, and it is almost all guys - have actually done the reading

Want to play a Duck? After appearing as a location and then counters in Greg Stafford's 1975 board war game White Bear and Red Moon ("Ducks, Ducks, and More Ducks"), as #TTRPG creatures Ducks first appeared in @chaosium.bsky.social's first edition of #RuneQuest (1978).

It even flowed into Australia in the late 90s. Was then a FLGS Clerk who had a mum return D&D books her kid brought. Rather than arguing, I convinced her King Arthur Pendragon was a better alternative, with players being chivalrous knights.

I concur. I remember the lad who once wore leather sandals to school and was forever after called Moses by his friends. 30 years later he is still Moses. Or the girl who went to the pub wearing a top with leopard spots. Her friend ordered a pint "for Tony the Tiger" and the barman knew who he meant

New Pendragon Classic material??? It’s like finding the grail!

A perfect moonlit Halloween seeing @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein at the Star Cinema Eaglehawk. What a thrill to see a marvelous new version of Mary Shelley’s 200-year-old story in a 125-year-old venue.

Let’s invent a machine that can mimic humans, they said. Won’t that be a boon to humanity, they said. Argh.

"The best designed, most attractive, and most effective traditional role-playing game I have ever seen... belongs on every serious fantasy role-playing gamer’s shelf." — Ken Rolston, Dragon Magazine #107. Here's what reviewers said about the Pendragon #TTRPG when it was first released in 1985:

While the fold-out map that comes with Cthulhu by Gaslight is pretty, it's also a tad small to make out all the details. Then I learned Chaosium sells larger ones through their Red Bubble store. Poster sleeve, plexi, or something is needed because that bad boy really wants to roll up on ya.
