We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

This is true. #WritingCommunity Don't give up. (Just in case you needed to hear that today.)

Oh! Out this week - DIE LOADED: ZERO SESSIONS in your local comic shop.

Quite simply one of the best pieces I have ever read on the art of playing D&D. "If you’re playing a Han Solo finding ways to stay in the party is your problem in exactly the same way that working out how to throw a fireball and not kill your entire party is your problem as a wizard."

Same energy:

Finally reading “ @aptshadow.bsky.social does Warhammer” AKA Day of Ascension. What kind of Ascension you ask? Well let’s put it this way one of the main characters has just discovered graffiti of the Emperor depicting him with a bunch of extra arms…

The #BlackLibrary Readers' Hall of Fame is proud to induct Brothers of the Snake, by Dan Abnett. "Sometimes less can be more, and the legacy of Brothers of the Snake is in showing how successful a story can be focusing on the Astertes in the smaller scale." -Jay (me) #Warhammer #BookSky

The #BlackLibrary Readers' Hall of Fame is proud to induct Fulgrim by @grahammcneill.bsky.social "One of the most important of the Heresy... a visceral story of how deep and how fast the IIIrd Legion falls from grace and into eternal infamy" @thepaladinjournal.bsky.social #Warhammer #BookSky

The #BlackLibrary Readers' Hall of Fame is proud to induct The Flight of the Eisenstein, by @jmswallow.bsky.social "Some of Swallow's finest void warfare and shipfaring he's written. Not many books have grabbed me and held on to me this hard." @crunchychocobo.bsky.social #Warhammer #BookSky

So proud of @wyrdscience.bsky.social team for finally making a profit. (Which is to say I am so proud of you, JP!)

If you need to go somewhere and not spend any money, please visit your local library. Library crawls are awesome. Every library is its own little world.

Start as late in the scene as possible, accomplish what’s needed, and get out early.

Played Black Armada's Lovecraftesque last night for the second time. It was great fun, and even my more competitively minded friends enjoyed themselves. I will be writing a review for it in the coming weeks.

I've just completed the Warlock of Firetop Mountain for the first time without cheating. This was an impossible task in 1983. I'm now 51 and rather proud of myself. Freeway Fighter next.

Dear @waterstones.bsky.social please will you consider popping some Alice Hoffman novels into the fantasy section as well as the romance section? I’m worried new fans might not think to look in romance! ❤️

If I am your favourite Black Library Author then Gods bless you, and I hope you pick up and enjoy World Ablaze. I am in VERY good company.

A good discovery today! There’s a whole section featuring a functional Imperium LIBRARY in Faith & Fire by @jmswallow.bsky.social

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.

'The Fastest Gun Alive' also features a slightly incongruous three-minute sequence of Russ Tamblyn dancing with shovels, which you can see in its entirety here, if that's your bag.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...
