Aside from Ramshackle Games and Bad Squiddo, where else can I go for weird Smash Bash style minis? I love Smash Bash but the shipping fees are crippling. Any thoughts? #minipainting #miniaturepainting

What I love about Dan's writing is he casts an exacting eye over the mechanics and gameplay whilst weaving in some personal story or cultural metaphor that may seem tangential at first but becomes the heart of it all. Provokes me thinking on my writing in an inspiring rather than flagellating way.

Look at the cover and contents of the new Wyrd Science issue, beautiful stuff. Support games makers, artists, humans in general and in print specifically and get ahold of a copy here: shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr... #ttrpg

Going to ask an obvious question but the only way to become better at drawing is to practice, right? Is there anything I can read or follow that might support? Or is it just practice? It's practice isn't it. #illustration #drawing

Feels appropriate to show off our feature on Bunnies & Burrows on this, the most important day of the year for rabbits. Anyway @stuhorvath.com spoke to Scott Robinson, co-creator of the game as it celebrates its 50th anniversary Some lovely art to accompany it by Kaila Elders shop.wyrd.science

Just returned from @britishlibrary.bsky.social #FairyTales exhibition and it is outstanding. Child centred design and highly interactive. Amazing exhibits incl some from Disney's archive. Lots to see, hear, watch, play with, wear and smell! Bravo to @waylandgames.bsky.social for sponsoring it.

Absolutely stunning cover of Wyrd Science 8. I've reviews on @planetsmashergames.bsky.social #SpaceGits, @koboldpress.com RiverBank and @modiphius.bsky.social Paranoia: Five Clones from Alpha Complex. Plus great articles and gorgeous artwork. Get yours here: shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr...

I, for one, would like to welcome the #WarhammerCommunity to the West End. youtu.be/59NORGNnWlQ?...

On #WorldTheatreDay I'm thrilled to announce I'm directing #MakeBeth for Shakespeare's Globe and Cardboard Adventures, in assoc w/CFT and Leeds Playhouse. Written by Hannah Khalil & designed by Sam Wilde, MakeBeth is a craft-a-long Shakespeare where you make the story!

There once was a man from #Fratton, Who, from a great height, was shat on, He said "Oh my it's a bird, Who's released a great turd, And I don't even have my hat on".

This looks to be a very exciting exhibition @britishlibrary.bsky.social and really cool that @waylandgames.bsky.social is supporting it. Definitely one to book.

A new Dwarven skirmish game from @gavthorpe.bsky.social in the works?! Definitely looking forward to hearing more about this. www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40...

It’s the new @planetsmashergames.bsky.social campaign. A nice healthy start. Go and show some love for da ladz. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pla...

Just finished reading @amabel.bsky.social's Cardboard Ghosts. Excellent book on board games as art, particularly the section on Brecht's V-effekt, which put me in mind of Fiona Shaw's Mother Courage at the NT years ago. The references to Von Clausewitz feel extremely prescient now.

Been very fun to be at Shakespeare's Globe this week working on something new for families. 🗡️💀✨

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer. 🧵 1/5

Very much looking forward to reading this from @mackeza.bsky.social. Was a Nintendo kid throughout my childhood and still have my working N64!

Bring on #WorldBookDay...

Final two miniatures for my Badgers and Burrows warband completed. Painting all of these has been a real challenge but such a blast too. Absolutely gorgeous miniatures from Rescale. #miniaturepainting #minipainting

Continuing to love these miniatures from Rescale miniatures, particularly these fighter mice with acorn helmets and conker shell shields. The objective markers are just a lot of fun to have on the battlefield. Who doesn't want to fight over a lobster dinner? #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Finally, someone said it! #minipainting #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #nmm

**A Report to the Emperor** #warhammercommunity

good news everyone! Wyrd Science issue 7 is @drivethrurpg.com's DEAL OF THE DAY! for 24 hours get a massive 60 (sixty!) % off the latest, best issue of the world's greatest tabletop game magazine! From Cold War RPGs to Warhammer's Rick Priestly, the Caves of Qud to Castle Rat, it's a banger!

Was lucky enough to review Space Gits for @wyrdscience.bsky.social Issue 8 (spoiler: it's awesome) and have also just finished painting up one of Kromlech's minis for the game: Officer Krunk. Decided to go full Dredd with the palette, "I is the LawwaAAARGH!" #minipainting #miniaturepainting

"Badger, Ratty and Mole defile the world as Mr Toad carouses in the Rotblack Sludge"

#GoodLuckHaveFunDon'tDie is tonally uneven, nauseous with ideas, with strong Michel Gondry vibes. But it is a heck of a lot of fun. Sam Rockwell is excellent and I love that it just commits to being what it is. I don't know what that is but it commits to being it.

Have absolutely loved painting up these miniatures by Rescale miniatures, from their Archduke Mousin range, for Burrows and Badgers. They'll become the scouts of my Kindred warband. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Received @cmyk.games Magical Athlete for my birthday, and it is absolute chaos. Played it three times back to back straight out of the box and already schemeing how to do better next time. And always, always, take Huge Baby.

if you would like to have a rant/considered conversation about something Wyrd Science, tabletop games in general or the world, and have it featured in the next issue of Wyrd Science, then you have 2 weeks left to get your diatribes in... send your green inked emails to [email protected]

Loved converting and painting this for #Gaslands. Particularly enjoyed using the Goblin Hobbies Stamper for the door decals. #nerdlings

Philippe Gaulier, clown guru and mentor to theatre and comedy greats, dies aged 82

Deeply sad to hear the news about Philippe Gaulier tonight. He was a legend in so many ways. My training with him completely changed the trajectory of my life and it still influences the work I make. There will be no one else like him. 🔴

Whilst not on a train, the answer is Gromit and Feathers McGraw in The Wrong Trousers.

NOOOOOOOOO #thetraitors
