Enjoying the fact that 99.9% of Bluesky posts about Deathbringer are clowning on Deathbringer.

early Citadel miniatures of Gnolls were exactly this, kind of giant goblins with pointy hats/heads based on superb Russ Nicholson art, and still some of the nicest goblinoid models they ever released

Magical World of Monsters (1992) Perhaps the most colorful monsters you'll encounter. Read the full post: https://www.vintagerpg.com/2026/07/magical-world-of-monsters-1992/ #TTRPG #VintageRPG #RPG

LOL you are not going to annoy me into downloading your stupid app.

One like = one (possibly controversial) monster fact.

All I wanna do is talk about monsters all day. (Cool monsters like manticores, not shitty human monsters like fascists)

Tonight's werewolf.

Please don't make me watch Possession again.

The Beasts of Never (1968) “We will never find answers which are true in the same way the answers to mathematical problems are true.” Read the full post: https://www.vintagerpg.com/2026/07/the-beasts-of-never-1968/ #TTRPG #VintageRPG #RPG

I found a troika background in my Obsidian vault so I put it on Itch Dot io tonight dontkickfood.itch.io/sloth-with-a...

Tonight's werewolf.

If I was a Democratic senator, I would be extremely aware of the fact that my constituents know that it takes more energy to type out claptrap like this than to not post at all.

Thinking of Cathy Rutherford this morning (and her lesser-seen companion who is just as delightful and correct)

Not only do I encourage you to speak ill of the dead, I would like you to send me the funniest examples of dead-illing.

We all have to post as hard as possible about Lindsey Graham's death so we can see who wins by getting cited in an article in the Atlantic about how Bluesky is destroying the fabric of American politics next week.

Today's werewolf.

Something something Dane Law

Lol, got my first (presumably autogenerated) content label and it is very dumb because it DOES contain nudity but IS NOT sexually suggestive, at least by non-pteranodon standards.

Why are werewolf novels so frickin' weird? Read The Undying Beast a few months ago and just finished Darker Than You Think, and they are both absolutely bizarre. Can't a guy just turn into a wolf and eat some people?

It truly seems like the story of the last twenty years or so is some motherfucker starts or buys a business in a sector they hate or don't understand, systematically destroys it, then, seeing the end is near, rediscovers decades of established practice that made the biz originally profitable.

Come for the cover depicting a cowboy firing a six-shooter at a red mist, stay for the ghost of a labor organizer who won't rest until workers form a union. Vintage RPG doesn't miss. Unless it were to fire a gun at a red mist. That's just a silly thing to do.

Not paying attention to World Cup because it's rancid (and has been rancid) but my mom is watching and I walked through as that viking fellow scored that goal just now and it was a very nice shot.

Alexander Joy's mini essay on Gou Tanabe's manga Lovecraft adaptations in the July Exploits (cc @chiltonm.bsky.social) convinced me to finally jump in and goddamn, they are so worth your time.

I'm hyped for this, and you should be too if you like small screaming people made of plastic and metal.

I cannot stress how much this cover, and the way we characterize it, delights me.
