I don’t typically read superhero graphic novels or comics, but I’ve been burning through BLACK HAMMER. It’s fantastic

Mentioned it before, and I’m recommending it again: ONITAMA. A terrific 2-player game that plays in 10 minutes- I’ve yet to introduce it to anyone who didn’t want to play again. (I’ve pimped my copy with chess pieces)

#nowwatching The Fog (1980) "Eleven fifty-five... almost midnight. Enough time for one more story." What a classic. John Carpenter does it again. This is the definitive ghost story movie for me. Moody atmosphere, an all star cast, and a lived-in town full of local eccentrics. Machetes up for this🔪🔪

If you’re a LABYRINTH fan and a lover of real art, can recommend the LABYRINTH BESTIARY:

Finished ATOMFALL and both expansions. Wonderful game - I got about 61 hours enjoyment out of it.

Skeleton astronauts might be my favourite sc-fi trope

For those who might enjoy it, I made a scenario for the SPACE 1999 RPG @modiphius.bsky.social boardgamegeek.com/thread/36698...

I created an unofficial expansion for the British OSR, WARLOCK RPG (hopefully some use to a few of you): boardgamegeek.com/filepage/317...

Rewatched MALIGNANT. I really like this movie, and the soundtrack is terrific.

Can recommend another deep space horror RPG hardback: ACROSS A THOUSAND DEAD WORLDS

House of Mystery no. 84 (Mar 1959) cover by Bob Brown. This is a cool cover representing a story inside that’s illustrated by Jack Kirby. Brown manages to capture the spirit of Kirby, and some of his dynamism. Even a bit of the ol’ Kirby Krackle! Also note this was several years before Doom Patrol.

25th February, 1978: "Doctor Who: The Invasion of Time" part 4. #DoctorWho

Can wholeheartedly recommend this DELTA GREEN RPG podcast: @sorryhoneycast.bsky.social

In 1979 while some friends were playing football and getting into fights, I was quietly illustrating a Doctor Who fanzine for my fellow nerds

There’s something for all tastes in HULL BREACH for the Mothership RPG:

Some of the miniatures Martin Bower worked on for Alien, Outland and Space 1999. From The Guide to Fantasy Art Techniques (1984)

CHILDREN OF THE STONES (1977): ITV's landmark folk horror serial for children, and it's every bit as mature, dense, and scary as anything for adults. Happy day!

ACTION: BEFORE THE BAN! Ahead of our new collection TOMORROW, we're celebrating 50 years of Britain's most controversial comic - and in issue #12, you better Look Out For Lefty! Pre-order today: https://bit.ly/44YIF1F

I played a solo WALKING DEAD RPG session. Notes below:

I LOVED this as a kid. Still got a few of the ACTION annuals, and the newer compilation release. Anybody new to this I give a word of caution: some racial elements might be triggering.

Big fan of the WARLOCK RPG - it’s a hybrid of Fighting Fantasy and the original Warhammer Roleplay. It also helped me get through a dark time in my life.

I played a solo WALKING DEAD RPG session. Notes below:

Been tinkering with THE WALKING DEAD RPG - I really like the nuts and bolts system, but am going with a fungus zombie apocalypse

I simply don’t understand the dislike for JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH. Watched it again and it’s still glorious. The best dinosaur island movie, and so many fantastic water sequences.

Something that seemingly only I remember: THE ALIENS ARE COMING -TV pilot from 1980 that terrified young me. It's the weirdness of the two attacks, and the screams of the victims that has stayed with me all these years. The 2nd spaceship also has PROJECT BLUE BOOK energy @scarredforlife.bsky.social

This is an interesting Sci-fi RPG: SUBSTRATUM PROTOCOL. Think The Core mixed with Mothership RPG and The Descent - spelunking adventures vs viscous monsters. Has a cool card-based task resolution system. Good for solo.

Unfortunately I did not enjoy CRYPT OF THE MOON SPIDER. Overpriced and not my cup of tea.

"THE DALEKS by TERRY NATION as featured in the BBC TV series "DR. WHO"" ("TV21" issue 55 (dated 06/02/66)). #DoctorWho

Once again, BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS proves a delight!

When the BBC finally aired SALEM'S LOT (1979) in the autumn of 1981, images and scenes from it burned their way into my brain. I slept facing away from my bedroom window for weeks!

I like the LAST FLEET RPG. It’s very Battlestar Galactica. I’m not a massive fan of the Apocalypse World-like moves system, but there’s some gold in this book you can pan for.

I've read them now. I like the art, but most of these are not very playable - I guess it's also a vibe thing. They don't work for me as much as I'd hoped.

I’ve never seen anyone else talk about the ASHEN STARS RPG. It’s uses the Gumshoe system - and is overflowing with cool ideas and concepts. You play alien freelance detectives.

The Matrix (1999): Sentinel, art by Steve Burg

Some of you not be aware that @modiphius.bsky.social created an excellent SPACE 1999 RPG (that uses the 2D20 system). Can certainly recommend!

I created a set of homebrew rules and some helpful charts for the SPACE 1999 RPG - see below:

Another sci-fi art legend leaves us. Goodbye Bob Layzell, Terran Trade Authority titan 04/05/1940-29/01/2026

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about: Raised. By. Wolves.

Well done @jonmarkhicks.bsky.social - RAPTURE PROTOCOL is the most accessible ALIEN RPG scenario (easy to get to the table, and the most painless to tweak to taste). I also enjoy the greatest hits aspect - it features something from every Alien movie, & nicely subverts expectations in the first act

TERRORS FROM THE COSMOS series 2 just arrived! More MOTHERSHIP RPG goodness

Nice!! Here's a pic of my collection (plus other gamebook series) from when I'd retrieved it from mum's, plus a couple of my later acquisitions and a Shapechanger I painted 🙂

Once again, been pouring over THE FALL OF DELTA GREEN rulebook - great fuckin hardback. Nicely evokes the otherness of interdimensional beings!

This game effectively changed my life and introduced me to some wonderful lifelong friends, but it also saw me spend money on Antiquities in '94 that I needed for food. When I moved to Nottingham (around ironically the EXODUS release in '98), I purged myself of the addiction.

A tiny part of the region of Aelwine, in my Tarvannion campaign setting. You can check out Aelwine for free on my itch, and I’ll be adding this map as part of the downloads this week in a print friendly b/w format.

How it started (1984's ALIEN on c64) How it finished (LIFEFORM board game 2019)

I've updated my #Lifeform rules & reference to v2.1 by adding the missing 2 player cat movement rule, fixing a lifeform action, and giving the whole thing a clean up and reformat. The essential guide for this tense #Alien game! www.orderofgamers.com/games/lifefo...

This is a really good, very playable ALIEN RPG adventure.
