Here is our report from the adventures at UK Games Expo 2026 with added giallo from @hardyroachgames.bsky.social thegrognardfiles.com/2026/06/20/u...

Midsummer sunset in Sweden ☺️ 🇸🇪 🌅

Today is reveal day! Here's the ALIEN RPG cinematic adventure I worked on, 'Operation Leading Edge'. It goes on preorder today on Free League's website.

Holiday reading. Just finished Question 7 by Richard Flanagan. It’s a beautiful book, really powerful in many ways but, more than anything else, I found it incredibly sad. As I get older, I need something more uplifting to hold on to, I think.

A drop of dream fuel - Hobbiton by John Blanche

Well, He-Man is a very silly film 😂. But rippled with enough memory bombs and daft jokes that I couldn’t help but enjoy it, and must file under ‘guilty, nostalgic pleasure’

Went for a wander with the mad pup this afternoon, and found this place about 2km up the road 😳. Not obviously haunted and/or a witches house, oh no. And just a hop and a skip from the grim gateposts for nearby Eagle Hall 🦅. Maybe I should stop listening to the Lovecraft Investigations for a bit 😂

Finally started listening to The Lovecraft Investigations today, and they’re amazing! Inhaled all 10 eps of season 1 (The Case of Charles Dexter Ward) today 😂. Recommended to me aeons ago by @culloch.bsky.social & again more recently by @jaje7406.bsky.social

just in case you ever feel you're not good enough, this is from an old conversation with John Blanche as he and i discussed imposter syndrome a few years back go well, John. you fucking rocked

And lo, it doth arrive! Exciting, gorgeous #Dragonbane loot 😁

A return to Eriador and #TOR2e today 😁. Leaving the safety of Bree, the Fellowship journeyed to the Weather Hills in search of a hidden valley & lost treasure, with an irascible Dwarven guide & a morose farmer, both with hidden motives…enjoying system & setting, even with no combat this session (!)

Having a great time at UK Games Expo so far. Meeting up with old friends and new. The games I’ve played have been great!

If you're in or near Edinburgh, come along to the launch event at 7pm on Thursday 4th June at Waterstones West End and I'll sign it for you! I'll be in conversation with @bingewriting.bsky.social about all things spy. www.waterstones.com/events/an-ev...

Passed my persuasion test, so Nov #Grogmeet is a goer 😁. Now, what to run? Do I find time to make & playtest that Dark Crystal oneshot I’ve been thinking about for ages, run #Dragonbane for the 1st time or succumb to the intoxicating lure of another #DCC funnel…🤔 Indecision is my middle name!

Well, properly listened to the new episode of @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social and I don't come across as bad as I feared apart from one moment I regretted instantly and have been thinking about ever since*, so anyway do give it a listen & sub to the show thegrognardfiles.com/2026/05/25/r...

This is a zine from 1983, that didn't exist, coming in your ears from The GROGPOD .. With @wyrdscience.bsky.social thegrognardfiles.com

Meanwhile... We now have a shop for the USA and Canada(opening in the next few days), and one for other destinations (already open!). Each one is linked to a professional warehouse. To celebrate this major leveling up, we are offering a sale on every issue of KNOCK! as well as the Folklore Bestiary

Dragon country I reckon 😏. #Skye

Characterful Lewis Chessmen! 12th-century chess pieces with wonderfully expressive eyes! 👀 From a large gaming hoard found on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in 1831. National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh 📷 by me #MedievalMonday #Archaeology

Share the last 4 TTRPGs you played and expose your gaming habits. Dragonbane Dungeon Crawl Classics The One Ring 2e Night’s Black Agents

Karate Kid the musical??? Really?

Huge fun! But we only *just* survived, with that devastating sequence of criticals you rolled 😳 @oldscouserp.eurosky.social was quivering at the prospect of a TPK, even as one of the players 😂 Favourite lines of the session: ‘Does it smell like Hull or Grimsby?’ and ‘Sharkfin soup tonight!’ 😁

On my way to Manchester for #MORPcon - very much looking forward to playing @ottomancer.bsky.social’s #Dragonbane, tagline ‘dungeon delving in the tropics’ which sounds great! 🏝️ 🐠 ⚔️ 🦆

North Star is barely over but I'm already thinking about MORPCon next Sunday 17th May. There's still some spaces in a couple of the games. Get them while they're hot! warhorn.net/events/morpcon

Just watched S1 ep1 of Fringe, my first time watching it, after all of the enthusiasm on here - and it was blummin great! I shall continue…(only 100 or so more episodes to go 😁).

F2F for the win! DCC nights are the highlight* of my gaming calendar. Love @embraboffin.bsky.social's inability to please his god and the less said about Adrian's attempt to arouse Miserable Jacob the better. 😂 *a sparse calendar at that...

More ftf #DCC magic in the finale of Glipkerio's Gambit last night. Reaching the Temple of Destiny, the party faced a corpse gate, mastiffs and the mad wizard Glipkerio - an epic battle with animated statues, spell duels, chronomatic amulets, a cat-headed giant and the warping of time itself!

Standing stone inspiration at the National Museum of Scotland today, first visit for way too long (it’s great!). Any of these in the catalogue @fenrisgames.com? Also, one of my favourite things - an incredible treasure chest with a frankly unbelievable lock mechanism in the lid. It screams mimic!

For the next 20 hours, @drivethrurpg.com has a 60% OFF deal on Sanction Core Rules, opening up whole new worlds of challenge and adventure, and to create your own. Where do you go from here? Keep reading to discover some of the possibilities... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Hey I'll be at the Police Box at various times of the day tomorrow, come and have a chat and find out more about our @cymerafestival.co.uk #Games programme!

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II

Tonight’s watch, in the ongoing quest to educate #1 son in all the ‘80s ‘classics’ - it really holds up, genuinely eerie and unsettling, with a welcome absence of cgi and drone shots. Every monk distinctive and NPC worthy! And *of course* Connery is fantastic 😁.

Well that was a whole heap of foul mouthed, grim, gruesome, filthy and hilarious fun! But, once again, injected with real heart, pathos and social commentary. @joeabercrombie.com’s ability to do that is pretty amazing. Onto the next volume!

what if we put issue 8 of Wyrd Science on sale? What if this got more likes & shares than our stupid jokes? featuring Dolmenwood, Blades In The Dark, Doomsong, Kamping Kitbash, Lee Gold, The Old King's Crown, weird fiction, aggro comics, dungeon synth & lots more shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr...

Just discovered that Mrs S was more into Star Wars bitd than she’s ever let on! These are a bit of a time capsule from 1977 Sweden. Particularly love the scrapbook, full of carefully curated pics from different magazines (it’s clear that 12 year old Mrs S had a bit of a thing for Mark Hamill 😂).

Recommend this to anyone who likes slow burn psychological horror with a liberal sprinkle of ‘the other’, real world resonance and amazing art.

Another fun #DCC session yesterday with @ottomancer.bsky.social, @jaje7406.bsky.social, @daftoldefart.bsky.social, @clownf1st.bsky.social, Charles, Ste and Blythy. And yes, I did enjoy standing at the prow of FB3’s fancy new RPG table - what else do you expect from a messianic megalomaniac?!?

Back in Fanboy 3 for more DCC madness. @amacdon6.bsky.social has a god complex at the new RPG table with @clownf1st.bsky.social @ottomancer.bsky.social @daftoldefart.bsky.social Blythy, Ste and Charles

More creamy Free League goodness has arrived.

Enjoy my work folks - I never got the money back for the time i put into all 666 pages of Masks, but I hope you enjoy the blood, sweat, tears of madness that I put into it.

Oh yes. youtu.be/3_9vCamtuPY?...

Cheese is great! #CheeseFact

A dramatic end to phase one of the great #Pendragon campaign last night! My pagan knight Gorthyn survived the Battle of St Albans (just!), felling many of the Saxon horde and capturing a fearsome heorth-geneat berserker warrior for ransom ⚔️. Epic fun run by @culloch.bsky.social
