Found this one from my boxes. Anyone else played this? It was I.C.E.'s try to take their share of then fashionable cyberpunk genre, but it was hard to compete with such behemoths like Cyberpunk 2020 and Shadowrun.

I am very much biased, but yeah, it's a fantastic game. If you want to see a BRP system at its best, you might try this one.

Today is International Women's Day—a fitting date to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Hawkmoon roleplaying game and its lead designer, RPG trailblazer Kerie Campbell-Robson. In 1986, 20 year old Kerie was one of the very first female lead designers in the industry. #IWD2026

"Now what has that bloody Finn scribbled again? Oi Brian, what the hell is this thing? Mark, can ya make any sense of this drawing? Oh.. it's upside down... Now why on earth is he sending the pictures like that to us?"

Unfortunately this does not get old. But they won't be able to hide the Epstein Files by blowing up girl schools.

I must say Simmons wrote amazingly good books (Hyperion, Carrion Comfort, The Terror, etc.) and it really makes me sad that he apparently turned MAGA. I hate that rot.

Artist John Sumrow @sumrow.bsky.social shows his magnificently eldritch cover painting for the forthcoming new edition of Daniel Harms’s Encyclopedia Cthulhiana, which will be released by Chaosium in the second half of 2026.

It happened again

Oh, I want this! No, I need this!

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Funny how this is 100 times better than they are able to do in Hollywood these days. Oh, none of that plastic crap or fantasy gear to make history interesting for idiots.

Ran my first session of Fria Ligans Twilight: 2000 for one. We made the character and I though why not to give the game a try, too. I have been following an excellent actual play, which helped me a lot. Still, had to check and recheck the rules constantly.

Ready to rock Genghis Con 2026! If you're in Aurora CO! Come by this weekend and game!! I'm partenering with @chaosium.bsky.social Inc. and will be vending all your favorite Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon & RuneQuest books! 💙⚔️

*Reposts appreciated” My webstore heycentaur.com is finally up! This took so many months of labour (mostly my partner’s), but it is all ready and running. Physical copies of Kala Mandala are now available, shipping to most of the world.

As I've noted before (but is worth noting again!), I have it as a contract point that cover art has to be done by humans. One, because it solves many issues involving copyright and licensing and assures a unique cover. Two, PAY ACTUAL HUMANS FOR ACTUAL HUMAN ART, it's really just that simple.

Young fellow, I do recommend some re-education for you. First you go in with a jab and after that with an overhand cross. But the correct attitude is already there. Carry on!

Well, it came out faster than I expected!

Please note there are some other releases planned (including for our fiction and nostalgia lines) that we have not finalised the release date yet; announcements will be made in due course.

I haven't been blogging for a some time. Maybe have a peek, if you are interested in what I have been doing.

I must say it is a brilliant sandbox. I will definitely be using it.

Happy to see this one out so quickly. Just finished the cover a month ago.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Rascal News is the only news site I know who's covered this in more depth. They're paywalled, but you should support them. They exchanged some email with Dianin who said "All creators today use AI in some form. Saying ‘I don’t use AI’ is a lie." (Bullshit.)

I've reviewed an excellent late medieval book with lots of great illustrations depicting Medieval daily life. Art review: Flemish book of hours (1400s) You can check it out here; fakehistoryhunter.net/2026/01/04/a... Or here; fakehistoryhunter.substack.com/p/art-review...

Just want people to realize that the USA invading Greenland just became far more plausible scenario today. I just wish the leaders of the EU were less spineless.

We're excited that our award-winning Age of Vikings RPG is going to be one of featured roleplaying game systems in this January's New Gamemaster Month, run by our friends at Monte Cook Games. #newgamemastermonth

My brain rots when I see this picture. The trailer for Nolan's The Odyssey has been released. The good: they have decided the film in locations. The bad: everything else.

Mark Morrison writes, "With all my gaming groups I’ve always tried to run a special themed game as the last one of the year. Naturally, I mark the occasion by trying to kill them all in a special one-night adventure, usually with some variety of homicidal Santa..."

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

Well this came as a happy surprise to me! Lautapelit fi has just released Kyūshū and Shikoku, the last two games in the same series as Honshu and Hokkaido, by Kalle Malmioja. They've been waiting to be published for years, and now they're out! I knew they were coming, but had no idea when.

Well.. Slava Ukraini!

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Besides, I had an opportunity to try a "X-card" thing first time. It was a subject that I personally feel very uncomfortable, and you know what? Everybody was totally fine with that! It was a misunderstanding anyway, but the fact was the thing is there for a reason and does not destroy any game.

Played yesterday a homebrew Fiasco Glorantha. It was the first time I have played anything Fiasco, and I enjoyed it immensely. The system was quick to learn and the setting worked perfectly. We started by randomly picking the runes for each character and that was the character creation.
