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

#nowwatching The Fog (1980) "Eleven fifty-five... almost midnight. Enough time for one more story." What a classic. John Carpenter does it again. This is the definitive ghost story movie for me. Moody atmosphere, an all star cast, and a lived-in town full of local eccentrics. Machetes up for this🔪🔪

“No fantasy adventure game would be complete without an enchanted forest.  Chaosium’s The Sauvage King for Pendragon ensures players will have just such a place to lose themselves in again and again… this is a lovely, vibrant book.” — British Fantasy Society britishfantasysociety.org/review/pendr...

What's coming from Chaosium in the first half of 2026? Check this out! Stay tuned for more info on each as we get closer to release! Which of these are you most excited for?

Working at Green Apple Books in San Francisco, I sold a copy of Freakonomics to Metallica’s own Kirk Hammett.

What ho! Another Pendragon release!

Can confirm, Cam’s a good hire!

I'm gatekeeping the Chicago manual of style or something idk

Dare the Realm of the Sauvage King! In the heart of Logres, an enchanted wood festers and grows. It is the realm of Madog, King of the Forest Sauvage, and it holds many great perils… and strange wonders. How will you fare? www.chaosium.com/pendragon-th...

And with that, The Grey Knight comes to an end. All the knights were granted personal favors by King Arthur himself, followed by the grand announcement of Sir Aristellios’s coming marriage to Lady Ariette in a moving testament to devotion…Sorry, I’ve been handed a note…Land. Devotion to her land. 😅

Out now for @foundryvtt.bsky.social - the Pendragon Starter Set! It contains everything a fledgling Gamemaster requires to run a band of freshly-knighted characters through several adventures in the historic fantasy of King Arthur’s Britain.

Today is the *first* day you can repost this...

Holiday festivities in medieval and Tudor England included a celebration of social chaos and misrule, a tradition now honored in vestigial form for the next ~30 hours at supermarkets

Short work week begins. Be kind to those customer service and support folk eh? This time of year folks are all dialed up to eleven. Thank you. #kindness

The Knight Without Pity strikes again! Delighted to record live in Kyiv, Ukraine with @idearoll.club at their studio. We played some @chaosium.bsky.social Pendragon. Will our bold knights prevail to gain glory from @sirlarkins.bsky.social or die in ignominy to the strange beast of the woods?

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go. (Maybe I should back that TOON Kickstarter? 🤔)

"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Kicking off "Six Seasons in Sartar" on the actual-play podcast this evening. It's an ideal group for this coming-of-age tale; we're made up of folks who range from a little experience with RQ and Glorantha (including me) to some with none at all! www.patreon.com/posts/new-se...

You can’t fool me. I know a byakhee when I see one.

You don't see a lot of wry wit on Wikipedia so chef's kiss to "Mrs Buchan died of natural causes in 1791, disproving her claim to immortality."

Camera movement has existed longer than we might think, with pans becoming common in the 1900s. Early filmmakers also simulated movement. This 1908 fairy tale THE GRATEFUL LITTLE MICE gives the illusion of a zoom by pulling the performers and prop book toward the camera. It's nearly seamless.

#CompanionChronicles #11: Heirs & Spares A review of the supplement for Pendragon, Sixth Edition, published by Chaosium, Inc. on The Companions of Arthur community content programme. rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/03/comp... #reviewsfromrlyeh #rpgreview #rpgreviews #rpg #Chaosium #Pendragon

I think the first edition of Pendragon remains the most beautiful box set in the history of the roleplaying game art form. Gorgeous cover by Jody Lee, innovative but clean layout by Yurek Chodak, wonderful full colour map by Charlie Krank and above all the romantic interior art by Lisa Free.

We are in the final days of our Pendragon Classic Kickstarter and multiple stretch goals have been unlocked! Back now, while you can, and don't miss out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Heading out

One week left!

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (1985) is out the cinemas for its 40th anniversary. As a martial arts blaxploitation film, complete with a hermit master, that celebrates Motown, it's got a lot going for it. It's the kind of work I'll be writing about in one part of my new book on wuxia storytelling.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

The new Knights of the Round Table pledge level for the #Pendragon Classic Kickstarter includes a limited edition numbered print of the legendary box cover painting by Jody Lee! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

From the jump, I've wanted my actual-play to be, well, actual play, whether gathered at a table or playing through Zoom, with minimal edits, warts and all. The term I've coined for this approach is "actual-play verité". Maybe it'll catch on? 🤔 www.eorpodcast.com

Is that the Silver Shamrock ad? Fuckin turn that shit up!!
