Number 1 is especially hard to ignore for me because closing curtains was such a big thing my mom always did every day, and the first thing she’d comment on when visiting our place after we moved out 😅

I'm brave enough to admit that I would, in fact, buy this the day it goes on sale or see it opening night. Yes, I would.

This is one of the reasons I always prefer stat+skill systems over BRP. Cyberpunk, GURPS, Mutant Year Zero and all the other Free League games, and so on… I’m a kid of the 90’s, it’s not my fault 😅 (btw I REALLY need to try Ars Magica someday)

The Call of Cthulhu Slipcase - Chaosium 50th Anniversary Edition, is releasing next week! The slipcase contains the Keeper Rulebook, Investigator Handbook, and Keeper Screen pack, with all-new covers.

Looking forward to August!

#Traveller uplift evidence

This is not wrong.

VERMIS, the sequel to the Mithral best-selling Call of Cthulhu scenario VIRAL drops this Friday!

Today marks NINE YEARS of Vintage RPG. www.vintagerpg.com/2017/04/firs...

So I did the layout for this 200-page #RuneQuest scenario set in Apple Lane during the big summer festival organised by the local temple of Uleria, Goddess of Love, and now the rest of you get to see what I’ve been secretly smiling about for the last year or so. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Do you know how to raise lots of money? Do you want to raise money to benefit gaming history? This is for you:

Gamers have spoken. "One of the best scenarios I have ever read." "The best rpg adventure in the 21st century." "One of the most visceral, gripping campaigns I've yet to experience." "Trump Derangement Syndrome and gross self-censorship in form of an RPG campaign."

Okay. So, this t-shirt design made me snort a laugh. I could stand to hear a little more.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of me writing a bug report on the Unreal Engine forums, showing that some Blueprint nodes are spelled American (Behavior) and some are spelled British (Behaviour): forums.unrealengine.com/t/behaviour-... If you type one, you cannot find any of the others.

Our RuneQuest campaign of 5+ years has recently ended with one Yelmalion PC killed by a Cacodemon priest and then avenged by the Trickster via Group Laughter & Strike. The Queen of the Bachad, revealed Chaotic, is dead. The city of Alone is in flames. Good times!

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

It seems that maybe Lou Zocchi has passed away, and while I’m sad I never got to buy dice from him, I fondly remember learning about the guy from this crazy rant about dice manufacturing! youtu.be/BJ-A5Ec-Ybs

Meanwhile, in Tobleronistan

The D6 System originally developed by West End Games has been my favourite game system since my Star Wars First Edition days, so I'm confused as to why I never designed a game using this mechanic. The D6 System is open, now, so there's nothing stopping me. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/1...

Very insightful chat with John. It will feature in our May episode. Subscribe to the GROGNARD files on your pod box to catch it.

I stumbled across a games show in Kensington, and this game called THE MAGIC OF INVENTORYING (think Marie Kondo in a Dungeon) delighted me. The gameplay is delightful, the art is unique and perfect, and yes, I backed the (incredibly reasonably priced) Kickstarter.

Telling another cowboy to stand down:

Video game companies going “extraction shooters are hot right now, let’s release our own!” is the business equivalent of buying a new dishwasher and then Amazon recommending you more dishwashers.

This is a trap, ever since learning about Greenwich I don’t think any British place is ever “pronounced as it is spelled”

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

They're cowards for not doing this.

They pushed 3D TVs a bit and nobody cared. They pushed VR headsets harder and nobody cared. Now they’re pushing as hard as they can because they’ve sunk so much resources in it

a|state second edition features an easily-digested iteration of Forged in the Dark with numerous developments such as The Trouble Engine, faction rules, caring as an action and more. It's packed with glorious art, unique setting material and is a hefty tome of wonder. handiwork.games/games/astate

I recently started a Pendragon #TTRPG campaign (yay!) and I’m looking for a good reference book for weird and cool monsters and fae I could pick and drop into the game. Any recommendations? Thanks!

In Canada, “The Expanse” has been bouncing around platforms like crazy in the last few years. Now, you can only stream it on Prime Video, or buy ONLY seasons 2, 3, and 5 on Apple TV. No renting available. This is madness. Piracy is still the best user experience.

What's your favourite bible quote? (Wrong answers only)

Reposting, it was a lovely chat, but oh god the horror of watching yourself back.

This is a giant from @fenrisgames.com - painted to be a merchant and initiate of the god of trade in Glorantha. He's Hen Cik, one of the giants in Griffin Mountain.

Ken and Robin talk encumbrance rules if they were fun, Princess Caraboo, installation horror, and Elizabethan magician Simon Forman.

Nice! But only solo games and games with self hosted servers should be considered art. Anything else is a corporate product.

Lands of RuneQuest: Sartar is coming later in 2026. And when it does, we're including with the book a brand new 40 page scenario set in Boldhome, the Sartarite capital. Explore and learn about the vibrant Glorantha setting through play!

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.
