Discovered a while after it was published - a review of Lovecraftesque 2e by @pookie-uk.bsky.social! rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/10/cthu...

Do I know anyone who understands Outlook Classic? I tried to set myself up with it on my work laptop, because I finally got fed up with "new" Outlook. But I've run into problems (see thread).

Sunday was a bit quiet on this - posting again in case it gets more answers!

Anyone on here have knowledge of how to reduce noise in an open-plan space? Specifically, I'm looking at buying some free-standing barriers for use in a busy trade hall, to permit a quieter space for demo games. I'm trying to work out what coverage I need, and what material, without overspending.

Ex Tenebris is nominated as one of the most anticipated games of 2026! Voting is open until January 8th and we sort of missed it in all the wild holiday energy. If you'd like to give us a vote we would LOVE IT!! @armadajosh.bsky.social #ttrpg #rpg #spacegothic

A Dungeon Game is here and it's free! (It's been both of those things for ages tbh) Explore subterranean depths, face dragons, and discover what lurks beneath. It's classic dungeon crawling with modern design (i.e. it's good). https://loottheroom.itch.io/a-dungeon-game

Played The King Is Dead, an accidental Christmas gift, today. It is a simple, strategic game that I have definitely not yet mastered or even fully understood. Very hard to predict the consequences of ones own actions! I'm looking forward to playing more.

If we only get one, I think it needs to be used to establish early on how Gandalf feels about a certain character. "That was good" "Let's get another" <pained noises> "Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrine *fucking* Took."

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

A treat for myself and hopefully some other players. Lovecraftesque by Black Armada Games (@armadajosh.bsky.social and @beckyannison.bsky.social)

A game? For me? I should wait to consume it later but I'm sooo hungry. (It's our new copy of Against Time And Death!)

New episode of Black Armada Tales is out. We are playing Ex Tenebris and the finale of the current mystery is hitting tonight! #actualplay #rpg #ttrpg #spacegothic

Was very concerned I would get Whammed the moment I set foot in Mum's care home, but they've taken me to a quiet room (no music!) to have breakfast with her. Perhaps I'll survive today at least!

Right, I'm reading the Lost Mine of Phandelver (starter set) now. Some good simple GM advice in here, even if it is still very "you the DM are the fount of everything and have ultimate authority". I know, that's how D&D works - but you can actually run it in a less autocratic way.

Just having a little read of the D&D starter set rules. It's funny the hoops we jump through to try and make a high number be good. You've got stats from 3-18, you've got a d20, the mechanic should be obvious. But no - you have stat modifiers, because a high roll needs to be good.

Supposing for a moment that I want to run the current edition of D&D - I may not, but supposing - is that 5e, or the 2024 version? What's the diff? And, should I get the starter set, or just dive right in with the full fat game?

Holy heck, nerds. My 12 y/o son wants me to run him and his friends some D&D. I can do it, but let's just say it's been a while. What's a good published adventure to run for them? Should I make something up myself? Or, insist they play some cool indie game instead?

US customers can now pick up the new boxed set version of The Quiet Year. Check out my webstore for more info! store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

Lots of folks playing Advent of Adventure at the moment! Plus at least one playing our previous Advent game, Advent of Abomination. If you want to grab it you're only slightly late - it's up on our Patreon, patreon.com/blackarmada

I would also be interested in the answers to this so ummm... copy me in I guess? 😅

Gearing up to run my first Ex Tenebris scenario that I didn't write tonight. Wish me luck!

Io sempre dimentico che ho molte libri di Lovecraftesque 1e e Flotsam Adrift Amongst The Stars in Italiano. Si qualcuno va al Dragonmeet e vuole comprarne (con sconto), dimmi e ne porterò. (Any errors in my Italian mostly due to me rather than google translate.)

An emergent mystery play through of @armadajosh.bsky.social & @beckyannison.bsky.social Ex Tenebris at Dice in a Dead City, Alex our GM did a grand job of guiding us through our investigation of an offworld mining accident. Loved playing The Relic; eons old barely human cyborg with dark memories.

We are heading to Dragonmeet next week! We have three new zines on offer plus, making its Dragonmeet debut, the shiny new edition of Lovecraftesque. I will also be offering Lovecraftesque and Ex Tenebris at Indie Games On The Hour, in the 10am slot. Pop by and say hi!

I shall be having two of them please.
