It’s Saturday, but you can still read the gazetteer, we’re not cops

Back, temporarily, in the UK means we can finally check out the new issue of Secret Passages. Looking good! Great to see more small press print media in the games space

Wyrd Science's Gazetteer is always a nice read, but finding my newsletter in it made it extra nice ✨

Oh we’re so horrifically close to ICE agents officially wearing 40k purity seals & inquisitorial emblems, like literally weeks away Anyway if anyone from the mainstream media needs hand holding through the inevitable presser where Stephen Miller starts calling himself Asterion Molloc, bell us

New issue now in stock at our favourite blue shop, @raremags.bsky.social, alongside the worlds best other magazines

Friday, why not enjoy a gazetteer on us...

nothing more cursed than throwaway social media posts that do wild numbers. back on twitter we got so annoyed at all the hugely popular influencer slop we had a phase posting like pictures of the D&D red box with 'who remembers D&D?' under it consistently like 1500 likes, 300 RTs, 400 comments!

oh behave... Out in April, The Complete @2000ad.bsky.social by Alan Moore Vol 1: Future Shocks collects together his Future Shocks, Time Twisters, "short stories for legendary 2000 AD characters including The ABC Warriors, Ro-Busters & Rogue Trooper" & more shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/XB...

Love this, as ever late 80s/early 90s DIY/poorhammer is the best hammer

Exciting news! HELLEBORE’s first short story anthology is here! 9 new tales of the supernatural and the strange by Ramsey Campbell, Ally Wilkes, Reggie Oliver, Helen Grant and more, set in some of the most beguiling locations of Occult Britain. 👉🏼 Pre-order now to secure your copy: helleborezine.com

Well, here's a treat! (h/t to @craigoxbrow.bsky.social)

Thrilled to have an interview with counter culture national treasure @johnhiggs.bsky.social in the latest issue of the goddamn gorgeous @wyrdscience.bsky.social.

What’s this? A game I made inside a magazine? A magazine about games? Called Wyrd Science?

Reading @jameswallis.bsky.social in Wyrd Science on Trans people in the game industry. With the mention of Jennell Jaquays there was a massive Proustian rush for the first edition of Snapshot. That cover will always live in my heart. Rest well Jennell

For today's article, I'm just griping about why "fun" is a bad word for critics. spacebiff.com/2025/09/30/a...

This was posted on the MÖRK BORG subreddit and it made me very happy. About how MB, some metal tapes and monopoly dice helped a guy get clean. Another commenter mentioned running JAIL BORG from memory. Things like this make me all warm inside.

Play the hits!

one must imagine Sisyphus happy

I forgot to mention - the latest Wyrd Science is out. Look at that cover. You should order all the copies, and then if there's no copies left, fight over the copies. It's the best RPG zine in the world, sez I*

Can’t believe magazine publishing isn’t on their list smh Still, since we might need to retrain soon, cricket ball making could be just the kind new steady industry we should consider getting into

This is a great feature & gets at one* of our key beliefs and reasons for doing the mag, simply… GAMES ARE PART OF OUR CULTURE & SOCIAL HISTORY It seems so simple & obvious but has to be said because apparently it isn’t. Games can tell us as much about ourselves, our fears, our desires, what is…

Lunchtime reading: issue 7 of @wyrdscience.bsky.social, which just arrived. Might be the best yet. Features on Rick Priestley, Undaunted and Cold War RPGs, an excellent column from @jameswallis.bsky.social and much more. If you like tabletop games and you haven’t subscribed, you’re missing out.

WS7 officially out this week and dropping through letterboxes. just imagine this could be you in 24-48 hours (if you live in the UK, and a little bit longer elsewhere (but hey, more time to get excited for its arrival...)) Order your copy here: shop.wyrd.science

a fine start to the week from @wyrdscience.bsky.social (even if autocarrot wanted the Alt text to read "Catholic dungeon")

Seriously considering a new policy that for every new $3000+ “RPG in a… XXXXX” weekend experience we see we will be raising the cover price of the magazine by $2

Next week going to drop our Vorticist Games Manifesto

How are ppl still struggling with this? jay isn’t making grand claims about the nature of games here in art, expressionism is just way to paint. everything else still exists and deserves to be in a museum. sane here it’s not dangerous, they’re games, and ppl have been making them for 40 years

A perfect Sunday read

This is a great piece, shows not only how games are an intrinsic part of our cultures but also how you can use them to tell wider stories. Excellent stuff

I did a newsletter. But more importantly I DID A VIDEO. Riiiight out of my comfort zone, but entirely inspired and necessary because Doomsong is so fucking cool. Check it out (and also get yourself a copy of Wyrd Science issue 7):

the best monsters always look like they're bellowing in impotent frustration at a customer service desk having missed their flight

I’m only two or three weeks late to the Appendix N blog bandwagon. With this article, I issue a challenge: List your influences on individual projects. Personal influences are compelling, project-specific influences are usually a lot weirder and more insightful. www.explorersdesign.com/appendix-n/

The range of toys to go with French artist Jean Jullien’s incredible JUJU’s Castle exhibition (AS FEATURED IN WS7) are now available online and my god I want Eggo as much as he’s well out of our price range en.shop.nanzuka.com

Recent retro pulp 40K pieces megapost. These are great to experiment techniques and tools on.

This looks like some amazing work, as you’d expect from @shannonappelcline.bsky.social Will be a day 1 back from us

Caravans! Comics! Cards!

Missed out on pledging for the Vaults of Vaarn 2E Backerkit campaign? Now mocked by your friends and colleagues? Spouse no longer interested? Disrespected by small children and animals? ALL THIS CAN BE FIXED. Pre-order in hardback today. vaults-of-vaarn-second-edition.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Tolktober is upon you, and so forth. Insane roster of artists contributing to our A MIDDLE-EARTH zine this year - this will be volume three! Stoked! Take part any way you like - I’ve got some cool prizes to give away

Jeffrey Guerriero aka Jeff Cannonball is a wrestler diagnosed with ALS. Years ago I did merchandise illustrations for him. I want to sell the whole set of original pieces. All proceeds go to Jeff and his family. Need to do proper photos and figure out price. You've been warned. gofund.me/a91d69c55

A gazetteer on a Monday? And a truly self indulgent one to boot as we trawl through the ruins of our memory palace in search of things that inspired us, plus we tip @goblinsandgardens.bsky.social’s new card game and try to convince you to buy a magazine for the millionth time…

It is incredibly funny that this week’s most clicked link so far, by a huuuuge margin, is for the £200 Red Shadow Roboskull toy Also why does ‘Blood Wolf’, the, I presume, ace pilot of this ridiculous space Nazi death machine look like my old therapist?

Really enjoyed this deep dive into Inquisitor, it's history and a critique of its rules. He also discusses Western Gunfight, an old and influential skirmish game, a proto-RPG, which you will have read about in Playing at the World or Elusive Shift. Inquisitor if Bananas.

v good by @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social, ostensibly a review of Peter Ross’s new book but as much a meditation on our desires to make sense of the unknowable past & give sense to the ancient landscape around us that drives us, rightly & wrongly, to forge connections with the phantoms who populated it
