I'm very much enjoying the 3 copies of @wyrdscience.bsky.social that arrived this week. Spending lunchtime reading a well written gaming mag rather than interneting is very nice indeed.

This time it’s for real—the webstore for the US and Canada is fully open. To celebrate: 25% discount on all issues of Knock and our bestiaries. It might be time to complete your collection. This promotion ends in 15 days—you’ve been warned! us.themerrymushmen.com

I had completely memory holed FEUD and wow this brought it all back, right, I'm off to find a decent Amstrad emulator whilst you please go read another superb slice of 1980s UK computer game history (or don't I'm not your mum, just a well intentioned editor of a magazine).

You'll be pleased to know that I just spent the morning adding meta fields, descriptions and alt-text to dozens of pages and images on our store, so please feel free to reward my hard work by buying a couple of magazines wyrd.science

Good to see they’re putting at least some of the wheelbarrows of cash we funnel to them to vaguely good use

This week we released You Are Not Alone: A Gay History of Doctor Who, a special book by @patrickmulkern.bsky.social exploring the show's queer influences and themes and the gay actors and creatives who shaped it. Order now from tenacrebooks.co.uk.

not at #UKGE this muggy Sunday? Why not turn the heating up to max, put the @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social on & pretend you’re there, cornered as I aggressively talk at you for an hour before you buy something off from us just to get away… 📢 thegrognardfiles.com/2026/05/25/r... 💰 Wyrd.science

Blast from Repost! The main illustration for @shannonappelcline.bsky.social's "Future Imperfect" article published in @wyrdscience.bsky.social issue 5. Support this magazine. It's full of great articles and art.

the subliminal power of advertising wyrd.science

After listening to two different podcasts talking to @wyrdscience.bsky.social, I realized I am woefully behind on my physical copies and rectified that. A fantastic publication that deserves to be supported by the entire hobby. Unfortunately, issue #5 was sold out, and so the hunt begins.

Nabbed one (and a t shirt 😆). The cover of this latest issue is so cool btw.

Definitely going to be sticking this on the cover of our next issue

As of this morning there are fewer than 10 copies of issue 5, our dystopian issue, left in our warehouse. With reprints economically unviable at the moment this will be your last chance for a while to get this copy (direct from us, anyway). Loads in this issue see next post for that… wyrd.science

If you've not bought the JUDGE DREDD: A BETTER WORLD TPB you really should.

"A Week with Frog and Rabbit" was funded in 12 minutes!! ...Nope, hang on, that's the number of hours left for the crowdfunding of this TTRPG of cozy adventures, which was actually *just*funded! Now there's hope for extra content :) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... #TTRPG #Pocketopia

on this hot evening I once again find myself thinking about Mondo's Patrick Star tiki mugs and how much I would like to drink from them

good news everyone! I've just spent two hours + sat under a skylight, directly under a blazing sun, sweating through my clothes taking a 'how not to suck at social media if you're a magazine publisher' course the things I do to bring you nothing but the finest relatable tabletop gaming #content

Vorago is now live! A full city book inspired by old school British cities like Pelinore and Port Blacksand! @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/148...

"Sub-creation"

pro-tip during a heatwave magazines, like for example Wyrd Science, can also be used as improvised fanning devices to cool yourself down try doing that with some YouTube screed titled 'GAMES WORKSHOP HAVE DESTROYED WARHAMMER FOR GOOD, THIS TIME, PT. 3452'

Well, properly listened to the new episode of @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social and I don't come across as bad as I feared apart from one moment I regretted instantly and have been thinking about ever since*, so anyway do give it a listen & sub to the show thegrognardfiles.com/2026/05/25/r...

Because we've seen a couple of egregious examples of this of late and UKGE is coming up this week can I just float a suggestion to game publishers When you use a con/expo etc as an opportunity to 'make an announcement' you should ideally send the info contained in that announcement out to all your

Hammer's Dracula... back on the big screen... with footage unseen since 1958?! Bite me now... youtu.be/C6l3Vus8Zdg?...

A huge thanks to Dirk for having us on, if you want to know why we started a print magazine rather than a podcast in this day and age then this should clear that up! 🥴

Am very proud to announce that THE DEVIL'S CAULDRON is now available to order. With two books under the belt now, Mislaid is turning into a very stylish and solid imprint. Link also below.

"I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with the sovereign ruler of a theocratic state" etc etc

The sun is shining, I’m not watching Threads, there’s a medieval fayre on in town we’re just off to, as Cube said it’s a good day Make it a great day and buy a magazine…

on a tangent but I did love these games and this is a wonderful line from the Dizzy Wiki page to talk about what was an egg wearing bright red boxing gloves & shitkickers "Dizzy's design was kept deliberately simple. The idea was that this allows players to project themselves onto the character"

No lie, those of us who have been asking for this for ages are going to eat good over the next year or so

MegaLOL at the bootlickers at the NY Times for introducing a success with complications mechanic into their headlines

The sun is shining, I’m not watching Threads, there’s a medieval fayre on in town we’re just off to, as Cube said it’s a good day Make it a great day and buy a magazine…

If anyone tabling at UK Games Expo wants to take any Wyrd Science stock, this weekend is probably your last chance to put an order in for us to get them to you in time so hit us up for info if you’d like to make your table look extra fancy with some of these sat there inviting 💰💰💰

🧵 Have I ever mentioned the possible relationship between Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, etc. and 17th-18th C. French storytelling games? It's more speculative than I usually comment on, but they're closer than you'd guess ... bsky.app/profile/ghos...

Anyway, it's a beautiful sunny day here with nary a cloud in the sky and yet because we're willing to go to the mat for you, our beloved readers, my to-do list today includes sitting in a windowless room to watch Threads and then a documentary on the cultural impact of Threads so, that's nice.

a nice morning reminder of one of the big reasons I love print media, as it's generally speaking an uneconomic pain in the arse it tends to drive out most grifters & leaves the field clear for the kind of sickos who are in it for the love of the game & do shit like make zines of Simpsons' pamphlets

If you're a board game publisher you'd be absolutely out of your tree not to be trying to get your games shown off in Wyrd Science, a flipping excellent magazine. Send this man an email!

Just think, you could spend this weekend working on a miniatures agnostic skirmish wargame set in a WAFFLE HOUSE That is literally a thing you could do

This would make an awesome game, someone should have a crack at it

Hey, @rebellionunplugged.bsky.social been thinking of hitting up ebay for a copy of this for a long while now, but any chance there could be a reissue like the Block Mania / JD board games around the film's release?

THIS WEEKEND ONLY: Up to 50% off tabletop RPGs, solo games, board games, cards, dice and more during our Summer Kickoff Sale! Kickoff the summer season with a new game for your next vacation. And don't forget to pick up a gift for the grad or dad in your life! tabletopbookshelf.com/collections/...

Because watching utterly bleak films about nuclear war doesn't pay the bills today, like every day, we are also selling magazines So, if you like the idea of a tabletop game mag that pays real humans actual money to write and illustrate it, then we are open for your business... shop.wyrd.science
