I discovered yesterday that Space:1999 was known in Sweden as Moonrise Alpha (actually Månbas Alpha). So there you go 🤓

In the latest GROGPOD, we talk chaos in RPGs and beyond with @tomasrawlings.bsky.social thegrognardfiles.com/2026/03/08/c...

Fun session 2 of #TheOneRing today, where the company journeyed into the desolate lands of Rhudaur, meeting a mysterious wanderer en route to the lair of a beast of shadow and dread, in hope of finding at least some of the captive hill folk alive… #TOR2e

Late Birthday present, which looks brilliant 😊. Immediately transported back to early 2000AD formative Dredd and Strontium Dog stories via the unmistakable art of King Carlos!

In tonight’s episode, we mostly rolled over 18, great in D&D less so in Dragonbane Running Bear used subtlety, skill and delicacy to open locks Eldrin used a big crowbar and brute strength instead Fraser mostly interviewed Dead Dwarves

🚨 ALARM 🚨 Chapter 97 of our Small Embers D&D campaign is OUT NOW! An ANCIENT MECHA DRAGON is on the loose. Can the remaining party members survive? Only one way to find out... 🎧🎲👇 dicecompanypodcast.com/chapters/cam...

I'm not there, but they are. @allrolledup.bsky.social are at the Sashes Hotel in the Northern Quarter of Manc for the whole weekend as part of Dungeons & Flagons #GeekFayre All the great games and accessories that you would expect from All Rolled Up are available. Or, just drop by for a chat!

It’s my birthday today, so aim to lounge around a lot, get spoiled and read this luvverly pressie 😁. Yes, it looks completely unhinged, but brilliant - must try and get it to the table! #DCC

In completely unrelated news, I have taken this along - just recently purchased - to read on a short break and I am very much liking what I am reading so far. 👍 🤠

I have finally taken some proper photos of the models I painted for @fenrisgames.com First up, the dwarf. I loved this model from the moment I saw it and I'm so grateful Ian asked me to paint him. ☺️ I painted him as dwarfy as I possibly could.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, the 17th Century was not a good time to be a witch (or to be suspected of being a witch) in the Scottish Borders…

🚨 ALARM 🚨 Chapter 96 of our Small Embers D&D campaign is OUT NOW! The gang are in a fight for their lives in Thoren's Dungeon. Will they escape? Only one way to find out... 🎧🎲👇

Glimmers of spring, here in the borderlands 😊🌱

As a GM, few things thrill me like welcoming someone to a cherished TTRPG for the first time, especially through the glorious chaos of a DCC funnel. Tomorrow night, they learn how the sausage is made. 😅 Lil’ Gong of Doom: ✅ Cause of Death Stamp: ✅ Deliciously Evil Smile Behind Tented Fingers: ✅✅

Seven authors I’ve read at least 7 books by (couldn’t stop at 5!) Iain Banks (vanilla or ‘M’) CS Lewis George RR Martin Joe Abercrombie Robert Jordan David Eddings Raymond E Feist

Hey! Hey, you! I co-authored a wargame! It's really cool and great value for money! Go take a look! www.oakbound.co.uk/product/shiv...

Interested in how much people get to run or play #TTRPG On average its online 3 nights a week. Running 3 campaigns, playing 1. Some ad-hoc. Feels like a lot. I appreciate some play less, but I'm at a stage in life I can afford to indulge hobbies. How about you? Please repost if you can. [1/2]

So I’m going to do the layout for Free League’s take on Trudvang. Which is extra fun since that was the first TTRPG I laid out back in 2000.

I am weak, so *of course* I just backed Dragonbane Trudvang – The Legend Returns on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/119...

teased the other day, this is Oroko - the next model in our Wyrdworld Primal range, up for pre-order *very* soon 55mm tall, very snappy

You wait months for a game of #DCC & 2 come along at once! Someone should work on that scheduling 😂. The finale of the inventive, clever, bonkers scenario Blades Against Death. Much fun (& some horse-sized leeches), followed by a very fine pint at Fell NQ. A (slightly unhinged) balm for the soul 😁.

Also picked this new DC compact edition of Supergirl from @travellingmanuk.bsky.social - not a series I’ve ever read before but the art looks gorgeous and I’ve heard only good things about the story

Back at Idle Hands in Manchester for their brilliant coffee and pie (lemon and raspberry meringue, this time) and a leaf through my newest gaming buy from Fanboy Three (crazed but wonderful Mork Borg). This is the life 😁.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

En route to that there Manchester for session 23 (!) of ftf #DCC with The Expendables, and the grand finale of Harley Stroh’s Blades Against Death. In the spirit of DCC, the trains from Scotland have, once again, been chaotic carnage 😂 ☠️⚔️

Well that’s amazing - the Murrayfield magic! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃

Oh how I wish I was at Murrayfield right now…🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏉

A game of extremes! Not dead, dead, dead, not dead and burned through a whole lotta luck. Key moment: Howling with indignant rage at @amacdon6.bsky.social that he didn't know the rules! Much to the amusement of everyone else. 😂

An epic finale to The One Who Watches from Below! RIP Georgio the Wizard, felled by a Primordial Titan, & Trimble the urchin almost lost too 😬. Much polymorphing & possession shenanigans keeping things lively 🐈🐴🐢😁. Great fun with @tomtremendous.bsky.social @thetallone.bsky.social Adrian & Alec #DCC

Inaugural session of #TheOneRing (2e) ftf this afternoon in that there Edinburgh! The Company travelled from Bree to the North Downs to investigate a malevolent darkness in the hills, full of hope to keep the shadow at bay. Thanks to @abs.ventures, Alec, Max, Andy & @embraboffin.bsky.social #TOR2e

First DCC session a success as our peasant heroes (66% attrition rate) loot the tomb.

RPG supplements that aren’t RPG Supplements. My incredible pack of cards depicting unusual crowds has arrived. It features a unique hand-drawn card by Chris Riddell. Incredible.

DCC Demo Con, our FREE online con for new players, has begun! There are still some spots left for demo games throughout the weekend! Register now to learn Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG by playing with experienced game masters this weekend (February 6-8). #DCCRPG tabletop.events/conventions/...

tonight's Dragonbane featured magical veils, a screw-thread tomb and a locking door puzzle that could have gone badly wrong. great fun with @dampscot.bsky.social @ottomancer.bsky.social @jonac.bsky.social @amacdon6.bsky.social and Little Bear whining at the top of the ladder

French gaming and Te GROGGIES 2025 in the latest GROGPOD thegrognardfiles.com/2026/02/02/t...

Signs of spring! A carpet of snowdrops and some winter wolfsbane at the bottom of the garden. It’ll probably be snow or storms again next week, but this is pretty nice, while it lasts 😊 🌱

Now live on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/896...

internet coverage is a bit spotty here today, just got time to post these new releases

My #TTRPG plans/hopes for 2026 - what are yours? RPGs I plan to run - #DCC (of course 😁) - TOR 2e (session 1 ftf in Feb 🤞) - AD&D5e RPGs I hope to run - Liminal RPGs I plan to play - Pendragon - Dragonbane - DeltaGreen RPGs I hope to play - Nights Black Agents - Liminal - WFRP - Vaesen - Dune

Had much fun embellishing my questionable artistic ‘talents’ while making floor plans for #Grogmeet using lovely shrubbery from this joyful little house move loft discovery - unbelievably, from 1982 😳.

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?

Great day at #BrickHouseSocial for #Grogmeet running #DeeSanction in the morning—collecting a two-headed calf from Smyth Field market—and #BRP in the afternoon—following independent contractors sent to a gas refinery in a deteriorating orbit around Saturn, based on White Dwarf classic Sky Rig.

Can’t believe I missed this brilliant series bitd (2004!) by two of my real favourites @grantmorrison.bsky.social and Frank Quitely. Gorgeous and innovative art with a story that’s novel and exciting and emotional and disturbing *all at the same time*. Grab the new DC compact edition (it’s a steal).

Looking for a new year's resolution? Why not join us at the GROGNARD files Book Club. First Sunday of the month. It's a Sunday School for Geeks.

I am marking exam scripts while scoffing stilton and supping port. This is the way it should always be done. Though not sure how it might affect my consistency...

Now traditional family Christmas game of #Dune about to start. With epic pear and sherry mince pies as fuel to stave off (inevitable) disharmony when the betrayals begin 😂.

Finished the new decorations *just* in time for December.

Slightly horrified by the weird additives on the ingredients list of the usual supermarket versions, this year I made a Yule log for the first time using @nigella.bsky.social’s recipe - turned out out a bit like a Yule catapult or snake catcher 😂. But by gum it’s tasty 🪵 🎄 😊

Edinburgh Christmas markets looking pretty gorgeous 😊🎄🎅🏻
