Proof of life, #DeltaGreen: The New Age, 64 pages of absolute horror, coming soon!

Next month (uk) - the fourth (main) Tyrant Philosophers book, with my most bombastic ever title.

After 45 minutes, I can't say much yet, but I like #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms better than #HouseoftheDragon. It captures the mood of the underlying short story well, even if details have been changed. The dance scene was great. I'm looking forward to the next episode... #got #winteriscoming #hbo

In @asako-soh.bsky.social 's Cthulu game at Grogmeet I played an embittered old man with a liking for alcohol who yearns for retirement. ...and people say that I don't have range.

Finally. The new novel by one of my favourite authors of spooky stories.

#grogmeet today, @effektpodcast.org 's Tales of the Old West run by @thermalsatsuma.bsky.social high stakes and @chaosium.bsky.social 's Basic Roleplaying run by @paulbaldowski.bsky.social a sci-fi classic from the pages of White Dwarf.

Second game of #grogmeet yesterday was a Stormbringer/Young Kingdoms game of Everywhen (Barbariand of Lemuria) - fantastic gonzo fun as we deposed a pirate king. Great GMing from @firstage.bsky.social

Home. Dog on lap. Reflecting on #grogmeet. Thanks @amacdon6.bsky.social for twisting my arm to attend. Great games by @jaje7406.bsky.social, @dailydwarf.bsky.social, @ottomancer.bsky.social & Tall Tom. Great to catch up with the old Grogs and meeting the Young Turks. Bodes well for the future.

Had a great time at this this years Grogmeet. Thanks to @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social and Blythy for organising. A Very Cthulhu Practice with @asako-soh.bsky.social had us uncovering a dark experiment at Lowlands Uni but we had Jock’s medicinal support. Also a menhir heist in Deepwood Shadows

Here’s my #Grogmeet write up! dogwoodtales.blogspot.com/2026/01/grog...

Came back from #Grogmeet last night to avoid Sunday rail chaos. It’s a shame as I didn’t get to catch up with a lot of folks post-con. Still lovely to catch up with those I did. Still, I played some excellent games of WFRP1e, Bushido and Everywhen. I also ran a QuestWorlds Glorantha game.

Back to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 after another brilliant #Grogmeet 😊. Had some great players (and just enough ☠️ stamp action 😂) in my #DCC funnel, played Dee Sanction, SW Age of Rebellion, WFRP and Vaesen and had a blast at all of them. Thanks to the fantastic GMs and players. Is there a better con anywhere?

On the way home from #Grogmeet. A fantastic couple of days of gaming. Lovely to see everyone. Would like a cuppa. Pub was loud and my voice feels like it's dropped an octave. Now I need to make sure I don't fall asleep on this tram @clownf1st.bsky.social so I don't end up at Manchester Airport. 😅

#grogmeet done. Very appreciative of @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social & blythy for putting this all together. Fantastic GMs @thermalsatsuma.bsky.social & @paulbaldowski.bsky.social and a bunch of wonderful players and folk to chat #ttrpg nonsense with over a pint or a brew.

Such a lovely weekend at #Grogmeet - superb games of Bushido and Shiver and enjoyed running my Call of Cthulhu/A Very Peculiar Practice game @chaosium.bsky.social

Out now on UGMs, a tight 1 hour #ActualPlay #TTRPG of @meghanlynnftw.bsky.social and @superdillin.bsky.social 's excellent duet game, HUNT(er/ed) - can our washed up police inspector find the Vampire haunting the East End of London? youtu.be/qvbRULXvIZA?...

Bright but very cold dog walk around Old Milverton

Have entered the post-Christmas book hoarding phase... 😬

Horror on the Orient Express rolled into Paris tonight with a session of information gathering in the Bibliothèque Nationale With @oilpainting71.bsky.social @oldscouserp.bsky.social @edoffannyside.bsky.social ( @laticsexile.bsky.social absent)

An old article but a book of mine that a lot of people don’t know, and that I’m enormously fond of.

Last paint of 2025 was these wolf rider goblins and their hangers on. Took a long time to work through them. So much detail. #warhammercommunity

So much of Anglosphere social and political discourse has been irrevocably altered by allowing people who hate the idea of society to be in charge of society.

Once again I’m here for a Sci-fi Samurai game.

TTRPG MAIL! The Hooded Man came in today after having it on preorder for ages 🙌 havent read it yet but every time i look at it i get CLANNAD in my head so that bodes well (genuine)

Here is the big list of things I am going to accomplish this year... 1. Get Hellfinder to the Printer 2. Start a regular RPG group that is solely for fun (not playtesting or work related) 3. Take a trip 4. Document every game I play and book I read 5. Put out at least 3 new games

My Nanna, 95, has passed a similar exam twice now (the last time was in October....) and she thinks her TV remote controls everything in her house from the heating to the toilet. She also keeps holding the house phone the wrong way up. I don't think Donald should be bragging this hard.

I really loved playing Star Wars Outgunned run by the incomparable Lloyd at Owlbear...

Very grateful to the good people at Free League - I’d failed to complete my pledge manager last year for Alien Evolved RPG but they helped me resolve that over Christmas and found a cold box on my doorstep this evening with these lovely things inside

Supers has never been top of my list for RPGs but I think Outgunned is the system which I could see myself running a supers game with. I nearly backed the Kickstarter!

Let us not forget to remember not to let if slip your mind that we have limited opportunity to vote for the Most Anticipated RPG of 2026! So, don't... uh... www.enworld.org/threads/its-...

Wow, it sure has been a busy 50th Anniversary year for the Chaosium team! In case you've missed something, at the link there's a reverse run-down of everything new we've released in 2025. Please do leave a star rating or review if you like what you see!

Outgunned is a very easy read if you want something to get stuck into and get through nice and quick. It's a lovely system too.

Now I have decision paralysis about what to look at - Daggerheart, Legend of Mist, Triangle Agency, Outgunned.. but do like sci fi and samurai...

Fun Fact: With three previous editions, the fourth edition of Mutants & Masterminds will be the first to feature the signature Freedom League heroes on the cover! (Second cover appearance for the villainous Omega, who's a bit of a diva.) Follow the Kickstarter to get notified when we launch!

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

As part of Chaosium's 50th anniversary celebrations, Rick Meints, Chaosium president and Head of Nostalgia, was invited by the @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social to share five items from the Chaosium Archives that represent the development of the company over fifty years. Some unexpected items in there!

#GROGMEET I’ve just had a lovely hour signing up for games at Grogmeet in January. So many classic scenarios on offer! I’ve gone: Mothership (never played), Golden Heroes (Designer Bombing), Dee Sanction (never played), Code of the Spacelanes (refereeing), DungeonWorld (Never played). Fun!

Leamington Spa was spared. Manchester won't be so lucky. Seven days and counting... #Grogmeet

I may actually look at some RPG books this evening... did look at Call of Cthulhu over holidays as part of prep for #Grogmeet @chaosium.bsky.social @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social

Episode No.14 of our French-language podcast dedicated to #RuneQuest is... in English because we are interviewing Rick Meints of #Chaosium. Enjoy! podcast.ausha.co/runecast/les...

This is your reminder that in French, Skeletor is indeed called Skeletor too, but He-Man is called Musclor, and you know it just makes more sense
