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.

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.

STORMBRINGER (1977) Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20" I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze. 1/5
