Because Call of Cthulhu fans know librarians are the *real heroes*, we bid a heartfelt farewell to 'Buffy' actor Anthony Head, who sadly passed away this week - vale.

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

I love how most of the guys are just posing for a cool photo but Erling Haaland is dead fucking serious. That man is coming for your cattle and moveable goods

1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

Heard Steven Spielberg causal say the sentence “every weekend some other directors and I paint models at Guillermo del Toro’s house” on a podcast this morning and it’s all I’ve been able to think about for the rest of the day.

Eternity at Sea is an original adventure produced under license by our friends at @hplhs.bsky.social, winners of multiple awards for their #CallOfCthulhu creations. Sean Branney wrote the scenario and Andrew Leman has created a fantastic set of props to go with it.

A quick rundown of my thoughts after volunteering for the Chaosium booth at the All aBoard Expo over the weekend @chaosium.bsky.social

#UKTTRPGCONS A week late but my blog post on Chaosium Con UK is finally posted. rpgs4all.blogspot.com/p/chaosium-c...

Credo! I believe! (It's taken decades...)

Redeye! #RuneQuest #Glorantha

I've written a stage adaptation of Lovecraft's 'The Rats in the Walls', which is having it's world premier in October this year (in a double bill with Agatha Christie's 'The Rats'). If you're in the North of England do come and see it! #hplovecraft #agathachristie #theratsinthewalls #therats

We're delighted to have a big stack of community content #TTRPG titles from our independent creator programs @drivethrurpg.com available at our booth at UK Games Expo, alongside regular Chaosium products. All creators receive their usual royalty from these sales.

BBC: Why don't women use ChatGPT? Woman: I tried it and it just barfed out useless garbage BBC: Women don't use ChatGPT because it's too difficult for their pretty little heads

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Ok this is a truly great tweet

Fellow artists, please stop underselling yourself. Underselling my commissions in the past was one of the big reasons I got burnout. The price I was taking wasn't worth the work. My item designs take 6-10h. 60-70€ was never cutting it. It was rough. Do proper pricing, please. For your own sake.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Blair intervention is a dark plot to make Starmer look less bad by comparison - the equivalent of humanity uniting in face of existential alien threat.

STATEMENT FROM SUZANNE STAFFORD AND CHAOSIUM REGARDING A RECENT AI-GENERATED ARTICLE ABOUT CHAOSIUM FOUNDER GREG STAFFORD 🧵 Chaosium and the Stafford Estate are disappointed in 4 Pillar Games’ recent decision to post an AI-generated “historical archive article”... 1/7

More miniatures for the RuneQuest game at Chaosium Con. A gang of fire elementals this time - small, medium, and large:

🚨InPrnt Scam Alert🚨 There's an InPrnt scam going around (I received it today and was immediately suspicious). It seems to come from a legit InPrnt address, it's very well made, but it is fake. I have confirmed it with the InPrnt staff themselves. Do not click on the "Verify My Account" button.🙏

Pope Leo quoting Tolkien in his encyclical on AI seems like a pointed reference for the tech oligarchs who have appropriated LOTR for their own ends.

Ecology of communication is (I believe) a new idea Leo introduces here, and applies to much more than just AI. Social media, journalism, publishers, politicians, and the Church and Christian communities themselves are all obligated to promote truth, fight misinformation, and be good stewards of data

I live-tweeted the #RuneQuest: Roleplaying in #Glorantha panel at Chaosium Con UK to Facebook yesterday, and here it all is on BRP Central for people who wisely steer clear of Zuckerberg’s panopticon. basicroleplaying.org/topic/26847-...

Today’s the anniversary of the passing into law of Section 28 in 1988, the first homophobic legislation in a century. Politicians and media said it was our own fault, told us to shut up and give up. We didn’t. Dont you dare give up now on trans people.

I wonder why Trump didn’t go to Jr’s wedding in the Bahamas. He used to go to islands to visit kids all the time.

The #RuneQuest: Roleplaying in #Glorantha road map, shared earlier today at Chaosium Con UK: Sep 26: Sartar Book Q4 26: Apple Lane Campaign Q1 27: Revised Core Rulebook Q2 27: Welcome to Glorantha Q2 27: GM Screen Q3 27: Return to Snakepipe Hollow Q4 27: On the Royal Road Q4 27: Gods of Darkness

holy shit this docket is already a wild ride, i can’t wait to dive into the filings

Exploring new depths to the word Misnomer, the UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission has issued a loathsome set of rules targeting trans people. In response, a reminder that in doing so the U.K. breaches EU data protection law & its own adequacy decision. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-tra...

It is somehow fitting that the UK government would jeopardise their whole economy - because that is how significant the EU’s adequacy agreement is to them- because it really really wanted to mistreat trans people.

The pop-up community content store at Chaosium Con UK opens at 10:00 today, with dozens of titles in stock for Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, Pendragon and Age of Vikings. All authors receive their usual royalty shares on convention sales.

I wrote a letter to Greg Stafford’s Chaosium, and he replied.

It's the eve of Chaosium Con UK 🇬🇧, and we're ready to welcome everyone to Cranfield!

On the eve of Chaosium Con UK, Chaosium is delighted to announce that five launch titles from the Sagas of the North community content program for the Age of Vikings #TTRPG are now available in Print on Demand format:

This is a timely reminder that my friend Paul Looby is not just a very cool person, he is also the author of the saga "The Tyrant of Mumhan" for Chaosium's "Age of Vikings". The scenario is now available in print on demand. I am totally biased, but I think you should check it out.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Hey all, I am 31 sales short of electrum on The Bottle Episode. As a result, until the end of the month, it is half price down from $3 to $1.50. legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/3660...

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

if my email tries to talk to me i am going to hit it with a hammer

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

In the year 1034, the Norwegian prince Harald Sigurdson (1015-1066) entered the service of the Byzantine emperor Michael IV... Join us inside the 5th-century Şerefiye Sarnıcı (Theodosius Cistern) for a mystery show set in Constantinople in the year 1035.

We are excited to announce a very special Call of Cthulhu actual play show, taking place next month in Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷. What's more, we'll be performing the show in the incredibly ancient and atmospheric Cistern of Theodosius, built under the city of Constantinople in the 5th century!
