Looking forward to reading this - a new Patrick Radden Keefe goes straight to the top of the pile

Massively honoured to be invited to chat bobbins at this year’s virtual Grogmeet Now, this does mean you all have 12 days to buy our new issue so I get to make a triumphant appearance as a canny media magnate to rival Murdoch and not as the broken shell of a man that I currently am

This is at 11 am!! not PM

It is virtual GROGMEET 17-19th April and on 19th April, Sunday at 11pm, you can join Dirk and @wyrdscience.bsky.social talking bobbins in the ZOOM of role-playing rambling. warhorn.net/events/virtu...

There are odd White Dwarf covers, and then there are Emmanuel White Dwarf covers.

1979 is another key year in the story of #Warhammer 40K. White Dwarf 11 had announced a new partnership of ‘Citadel Miniatures’. It is also the year that the distribution rights for D&D will end. Reportedly, during these discussions Gary Gygax suggested that TSR merge with GW ...

Rabea Rogge, die erste deutsche Frau im All, hat einfach einen W20 mit rauf genommen. #PNPDE #Spaaace

it’s Easter Saturday, traditionally the day when medieval peasants were given a day off from the burden of the plough to buy and read magazines Why not partake in this ancient rite & grab our new issue filled with folklore, fairies, fantasy, fungi & other stuff that doesn’t start with an F

Meanwhile, on the moon...

“The Guy Was an Interior Decorator” my favourite beer from Rivington Brewing co, with an obscure reference to The Sopranos.

Some sad news to report, I'm afraid... Jeff Grant, the director of legendary public information film Lonely Water, died on 13 March. He fought to include the film's horror elements, and they proved so successful that it opened the door to the shocking PIFs that we know and love. (1/2)

Gamma World's one and only appearance in the Dwarf, nostalgia fans!

a lot of RPG designers could stand to take note of this, there's A LOT of still untapped potential in thinking about character sheets as more like consoles, something you actually engage with physically rather than just scribbling numbers on. see how much people love Mausritter's inventory system!

A bit of RPG reading … I love this - such a clever micro-setting in the world of MYZ - the human silo deep in the Earth with four houses of power vying for dwindling resources. Excellent stuff - looking forward to running games of in over the coming months

Dear Comics friends if you could help us out by reposting some of our Dan Dare Kickstarter posts @alexdecampi.bsky.social and I will be hugely grateful! We really want this to be as successful as possible so we can make the next two books happen! Thank you :)

They remade Deathstalker - @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social watch for the sword at the end - straight out of Sword and the Sorceror...sort of😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAdo...

Great @robindlaws.bsky.social quotes about “One Battle After Another” “North By Northwest multiplied by Running On Empty” “Sean Penn combines the Terminator with Popeye” “Benicio Del Toro steals every scene by doing the least he could possibly do while being the coolest he could possibly be”

You've heard of 'Snakes on a Plane', tonight @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social introduced us to 'Deep Ones on a Plane.' With @chrisesharp.bsky.social @jonac.bsky.social @clownf1st.bsky.social and Blythe. More Fall of Delta Green terror on a Sunday night

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I’ve been to Blackpool to see Hamlet.

Book Club Detective season - join us on the first Sunday of the month

In tonight's #SavageWorlds #SunderedSkies @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social @kitch66uk.bsky.social and Blythy became Big Damn Heroes in Bridgeways.

So Epic Games laid off 1/4 of their employees this morning… including me! If you’ve chatted with me in the past about #UE5 cameras, I’m figuring out how to continue working on that. And if you need a #gamedev who knows cinematics, animation, cameras, and more, hit me up!

all that aside though, did finally start on the Star Wars scenes this week, though still wrestling 'em in between other projects; as with each of these I've done, it all starts with some very sketchy sketches...

One from the vaults! The Sweeney was THE cop show of the '70s, running for four series from 1974 to 1978, spawning two feature movies, and nine tie-in novels.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh and as is traditional at this point I want to highlight a number of Irish comics creators working at both small press and mainstream publisher level. Ones to watch and support this St. Patrick’s Day (will also accept Paddy’s Day but not “Patty’s Day”).

Never heard of it! 😉

Inspired by @orlanth.bsky.social - this has arrived today

May 1983 would become a key inflection point in the history of GW and #Warhammer where White Dwarf 41 announced WFB 1st Edition via a full-advert which declared the arrive of Warhammer 'the massed combat fantasy role-playing game' ...

Last week we covered the kitchen door with post-it notes making connections with the Best Picture nominations. This week. We created an info-graphic. Send help.

Huge thanks to @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social & Judge Blythy for having me on their fantastic podcast! We talked about the development of Chaos in the Warhammer settings. thegrognardfiles.com/2026/03/08/c...

Fuck yes @leisuregames.bsky.social

Sounding like a scratched record here but the latest Grognard Files is an another absolute treat with @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social chatting with @tomasrawlings.bsky.social about Games Workshop, Warhammer & chaos. Can’t wait to read Tomas’s book on it all when it drops.

White Dwarf's first #WFRP cover was WD82 (October 1986).

White Dwarf's first #WH40K cover came in WD93 (September 1987).

Very enjoyable interview with @tomasrawlings.bsky.social in the latest Grogpod - looking forward to the WH40K book when it arrives!

#94 Skirmish on Rynn's World, a Warhammer 40000 scenario by Rick Priestley. It's the classic Space Orks with guns versus techno womble Space Marines.

#85 On the Road, two atmospheric #WFRP encounters by @graemedavis.bsky.social for travellers in the Old World. (There was an AD&D scenario - The Black Knight - that was also statted for WFRP in issue #83, but I'm not counting that.)

#45 Thistlewood, a Warhammer Fantasy Battle scenario by Joe Dever. Opposing forces battle for a magical chalice - on my signal, unleash hell!

After @awesomeliesblog.bsky.social's posts earlier today of the first adverts for #WFB, #WFRP and #WH40K, I know what you're wondering: what were the first White Dwarf features for those three games? Well...

The first advert for #WH40K

Enjoyed my first trip into Dolmenwood with Blythy and some inventive play from @andyhemming.bsky.social @jonac.bsky.social and Wayne Good to get a This and That curry too.

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

Me and my daughter cork-boarded the connections between the best picture nominees on the back of the kitchen door. Send help.
