I did another painting tutorial for @besthobby.com. Got the chance to paint the Onslaught, it’s a big lad! Used P3 paints from @steamforgedgames.bsky.social exclusively again for this. #miniaturepainting #nerdlings www.zeogenesis.com/blog/paintin...

“Animals,” in Blakes 7 series 4. Dayna’s sketchy former tutor, Justin.

I never knew - until this morning - that Robert C. O'Brien's post-apocalyptic novel Z for Zacharia was serialised from February to April 1976 in the popular British girls magazine Jackie. Every day is indeed a school day.

BREAKING: Good time threatened!

OK. Someone in the 3D-printing / tabletop SF minis space, PLEASE do something with this!

Finished The Word for World Is Forest by Ursula K Le Guin and appropriately this tale of the cycles of violence feels far more timely for the 2020s

WhatWhatWhat!? @ashleyrpollard.bsky.social says that all four issues of MekTek zine will (one day) go up on DriveThruRPG? panther6actual.blogspot.com/2026/02/mekt...

OK, Blakes 7 fans: Assuming a 5th season & Boucher's proposal to have Avon assume the name and role of Blake in a Dread-Pirate-Roberts-kinda-way, which of the surviving original cast's characters would be a good choice to take on the mantle of Blake, 40+ years later? Even if just for a few episodes?

Is it just me or is Blakes 7 series 4 really where the show started chasing the Star Wars design aesthetic?

Hmmmm ... not sure about Avon's character development, in season/ series 4 of Blakes 7. Stardrive's finale was ... errrmmm ... "a lot."

Still gutted that Block Transfer Computation isn’t a real thing in mathematics. #DoctorWho #ScienceFiction

Many years after learning this fact, it still blows my mind that the US’s English units are not the same as England‘s Imperial units. Though perhaps not as much as my memory of the online exchange I once had with a US engineer who didn’t know the distinction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperia...

Bloody hell. There are a lot of fab TTRPG artists and rule systems out there. Not actually should I can choose a single favourite in either category.

This is my Roknauts Biker, painted for the Salute 53 Judges Only category. All of us on the judging team took a crack at one this year. They were all absolutely brilliant lovely stuff but one that really made me stop was Jonathan Hart’s — beautifully judged work, absolutely top‑drawer stuff.

Hear me out—new edition of Junta but with a USA map. [crickets] Wot? Too soon? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junta_(...

DEADSUN

Watching Blakes 7 series 4. What IS going on with the wipe effects in Stardrive (episode 4)?

I showed this to my wife and now she’s just sitting there with a blank stare saying “oh my god” over and over

Can anyone help me identify a book? IIRC ( 😬) : - 2 women authors writing under 1 name - Australian - 1930s-1950s - published by Virago - SF themes, might be set in Britain

We want to know: Out of the hundreds of supplements for GURPS, which is your favorite? bit.ly/gurpsw23 #gurps #ttrpg #playsjgames

Okay. This is an interesting video in Chaosium, RuneQuest, & Gloranthag—& tracks with many of my own thoughts … but searching for commentary online about Black Lodge Games is … “eye-opening” in different ways. I need to explore more. Caveat lector & all that.

TIL that there are men out there who believe they are pilots, and demand to be referred to as such, despite never having flown a plane or attended a flight school

When I first read Roadside Picnic last year this absolutely leaped out at me as well. #oldhammer

I like that Mordheim is just fantasy STALKER

One for @mikemuncer.bsky.social & @eofftv.bsky.social ?

Blazing Saddles was shot on the same set (apart from the shop names, of course) as Westworld.

Duck me. I wish someone would hire me in Vermont so I can settle and starting running my dream SF RPG open table.

It would be some forest creatures voiced by the beasties who popped out of the woods to do their parts

I weirdly believe that Tolkien would have approved

Now vividly imagining Don Estelle as a singing sontaran ...

Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch. #nasa #artemisii

Imagine being a Greenland shark. Deep under the ice, below any sight of the sun, you float almost motionless above the seabed. You do not know what is happening anywhere else in the world. You do not even know there is anywhere else in the world. This is the seven hundred years of your life.

Can @hugobookclub.bsky.social throw some light on SF poetry for me? (Pretty please?) Where should one go for the best stuff? Are there collected volumes? Are any poets in the speculative space working within formal constraints of rhyme and metre? (Has anyone written SF sonnets, f'rex?)

Alongside the usual rummage at Fenris, pretty sure I'm going to give @crookeddice.bsky.social a hammering based on some of their new releases too. I mean, look at them 😍 bsky.app/profile/croo...

"men are now demanding a male-focused thing called Mantasy" - citation needed. Are we sure this isn't a joke that's escaped containment?

Also, if you borrow an author's book from a library in the UK, that author gets more than 12 pence per loan in Public Lending Rights. Any author can earn up to £6,600 per year this way.

Slightly worried that I am at risk of losing my fen membership card & becoming … “a mundane.” 😱🙀

Recently very disappointed by failed rewatches of BSG & Life on Mars/ Ashes to Ashes. However, very much enjoying rewatch of the Kings’ The Good Wife for its dialogue, plots, & characters (both the “round” main cast & the rotating cast of “flat” eccentric judges).

Love this anime GIF from Paranoia Agent of a girl/ young woman standing in the middle of a busy city road as traffic rushes by her in a blur—like a time lapse film, all we see are the streaks of light and movement of her clothes and hair in the vehicles’ slipstreams …

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

*reads news* I'd just like to say that tabletop roleplaying games are a hobby that you can play by candlelight and it's good to walk to your friends' house.

Oh, man—Does anyone else remember when we all complained about the original paid advertising on web pages, rather than the algorithm-and-tracking-based nightmare we have now?
