You want this.

Great morning watching #strangecentral from @forteanlondon.bsky.social at @conwayhall.bsky.social. We've had the Calvine photograph (UFO), occult coins and sea monsters. Great stuff all round.

I did an interview, in English, with Álvaron from Shadowlands, the Spanish GUMSHOE publisher. We talk about many things, but principally my design choices about Ritual Pursuits, my short Trail of Cthulhu demo.

I'm editing Play Unsafe on the train to London. It's a lovely book to read and I'm pretty proud of it. There are just under 500 followers on Kickstarter, so if you back it and get me over that number, you'll make me happy. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra... #kickstarter #ttrpg

Dangerous Gary, a new French game using the Into the Odd system, is modern day urbex where PCs discover D&D style monsters living hidden in the Urban environment. The campaign is split between Red Box and Blue Box. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0Re...

That's a whole lot of Trail of Cthulhu for under $40. All the scenarios will be compatible with the new second edition. I'm just stoked to see Jerome's amazing cover from my Fearful Symmetries which I've now been running for almost 10 years (380 sessions). bundleofholding.com/presents/Tra...

Playtested this last month and very much enjoyed it. Kickstarting now.

Ooh!

Very enjoyable Mythic Bastionland tonight. A crisis came to a head as the heir to the throne, Sir Godak, besieged the capital. The knights had been harrying his army and had destroyed his siege engines. There were sorties, fires, massed bagpipes and all sorts. Merryshire Detective Club next week.

I'm certinaly no Gygax apologist but this podcast is strange. It talks about the birth of D&D, Gygax and TSR and all the nasty stuff and then just goes off on one about everything that has happened since EGG died is his fault. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

In the latest episode of my podcast, which is out now on all platforms, I discuss the role of the ghost in the medieval period with my expert guest @goingmedieval.bsky.social Listen free on your podcast apps, or at www.thefolklorepodcast.com/episode-186.... or watch at youtu.be/UXT9f5sWD5Q

Mine are: - Mostly run some games, maybe around 50. - Publish a zine, which requires some rewrites and getting some art, hopefully from my family. - Collaborate with a friend to get some of the stuff I've run in my 10 year mostly improvised campaign into print. - try and do some art more regularly.

Spamtastic.

My GiP, Trail of Cthulhu, has drifted to the Library of the Dreamlands and the group have come in through the lower levels and are seeking to escape. I'm using the Stygian Library to run this, with thematic changes, but it's going great. Quality stuff from @soulmuppet.co.uk.

It has escaped from Worlds Without Master Vol 1, Issue 3. Get it before it gets you!

If you design or run #ttrpgs, read this. @levikornelsen.bsky.social has done much of the heavy lifting for you.

My first thought was, "Oh shit, who blabbed that I've been using the Carthusians in my game in progress?!"

@sainsburys.bsky.social it's a shame I can no longer get these.

The Filing Cabinet of Fear is a show with a possessed filing cabinet and demons, UFOs, cryptids and spectral synthesisers making supernatural sounds! Tickets for @cambridgejunction on Feb 19th available now at the Cambridge Junction website.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or alice in chains

You've just opened up a Star Trek themed restaurant. What are you calling it? I'm not sure yet, but I've already got a sign.

Tons of great stuff here for anyone interested in the #Gothic.

Filled in my personal assessment tax return, only to discover that HMRC think I owe them £180 for the previous year's tax. However it's on my bank statement so at least one of us can keep good records. Oh yeah, and they lost records of all my PAYE payments I made while working as a student.

After looking at the Lee Miller photographs of Buchenwald in Tate Britain, all the portraits in the permanent collection were just more dead people.
