hmm, it's been 3 weeks since we last suggested you might like to buy a mag which wasn't very finalist on The Apprentice of us, so let's get back on the capitalist horse & state that reading a mag filled with smart writing on tabletop games, books, film/TV, art & stuff would set you up proper for '26

Banger, as always

New episode! It's time for our annual YEAR END REVIEW! We talk about our highest scoring games of the year, pass out some superlatives, and give our personal TOP 5s. We also discuss the future of The Weekly Scroll and how it will be changing in 2026. Oh, it's also episode #300. Crazy, right?

Massof Sinnew, my Meatheads character, got smooshed to death after shooting a giant in the face. The last words croaked from his mangled remains: "Come from sinnew, return to sinnew." @blarkblarkblark.bsky.social

anyway it's a new year, a year in which we plan* to release 4 (+ actually) issues, and so for the fifth year running I am on my hands & knees begging people to try sending us info about what they're working on, ideally 2-3 months before release our inbox for all press releases is [email protected]

Jamzilla has got me so obsessed with the Camelot board game that I made a skirmish board in TTS so we could play it with animated minis. Can't believe I've never heard of it before the last few weeks.

Play Mecha games, win Mecha prizes.

Lay On Hands is now back in stock 🚨 This game is: what if instead of rolling dice for action resolution you spin a coin and have until it stops moving to complete real-time mini games. And yes, it's as stressful as that sounds. www.hausofvalley.com/product/lay-...

Design is a physical act. Print it out. Hold it in your hands. Cut it to shape. Paste it onto another book or zine. Design for the hands, the hold, the fold, and the weight. Even if your game is digital-only, the physical prototype will show you the typos.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

We've spent 2025 on sabbatical. Or, well, some of 2025. On something like a sabbatical. It didn't really go as intended. Anyhow, Kali wrote about it, with some sabbatical takeaways at the end about making games not so much because you want to but because you need to.

For the last episode of 2025, @meatcastlegameware.com joined me to review #MothershipRPG module What We Give to Alien Gods by @lonearchivist.bsky.social RSS / Spotify / Apple links are all below, which you can follow for free, or join and get a spaceship sticker.

CHAOS CRAWL ISSUE 2 JANUARY 2026

Oh, right. New arrivals: Around the parts of Bluesky I frequent, it's mostly settled that we're not doing generative AI as it now exists in TTRPGs, and if you want to argue with that, you'll mostly get yelled at, made fun of, and blocked, by various people. So, pick that battle at your own risk.

I wrote about my plans for 2026, both under the @cairnrpg.com umbrella and Between Two Cairns. newschoolrevolution.com/cairn-in-2026/

From the SCM Reader Survey: "I learned that there are really cool people out there in the world making games and maybe a weirdo like me can make some games too!" Yes! This! Make weird games!
