What wakes in the depths of the earth...? Honestly though, that is gorgeous.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

Back when I worked at Time magazine I wrote a piece calling George R.R. Martin “the American Tolkien.” Is it true? Who knows. WHAT AFTER ALL IS TRUTH REALLY. But in my house, when I was a kid, the American Tolkien was Fritz Leiber. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Hello Canadian Producers and Showrunners! 🇨🇦 I’m an experienced story coordinator, soon to finish up my second season on the critically acclaimed Netflix/CBC/APTN series NORTH OF NORTH, and open to work in the new year! Let me introduce myself... 🧵

EXCELLENT

It's time to slay a dragon. gilarpgs.itch.io/dragon-slayers

Canada’s premier speculative fiction magazine calls it a day after 35 years www.cbc.ca/arts/on-spec...

Along with managing St. Boniface Hospital’s permanent collection of art, curator hannah_g also organizes shows and exhibitions for Galerie Buhler Gallery, the contemporary art gallery at the hospital.

Played another session of an ongoing Call of Cthulhu campaign last night. Session 2 of the Order of the Stone campaign but session 11 over all. Miiiiiight have to come up with a new character...

*Goddamn* Joyce Carol Oates brought a gun to that knife fight.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Time to enter your works on the Aurora Awards eligibility list! 🇨🇦

One of the most beautiful things about the Irish is their respect for the arts. You find live music at most bars, I went to a literary pub crawl & saw monuments & museums dedicated to writers, poets, musicians, etc. They understand the value of supporting artists & I wish Canada did, too.

Free tomorrow afternoon? Like books launches and Canadian spec fic and poetry? Then head down to Bakka-Phoenix Books at 3 pm and grab a copy of Year's Best Canadian F&SF Vol. 3, meet some of the contributors (me included) and maybe get some books signed, grab some snacks, and just hang out. :)

The Weekly Roll Ch. 190. "Boots stayed on, he's fine" Fun fact; the swashbuckling rapscallion is based on the likeness of Joe Valieant, who backed my Kickstarter at the "Your Character Gets Killed In The Comic" tier. Joe sent in his likeness and requested a Death by Becket!

Being stuck short $250 of Nov.'s rent, and my week's grace period to get that in ending tomorrow, I'm temporarily bringing back the old price for manuscript critiques as an emergency: $250. Anyone need one? Or have other editing work to pass along? I'm a bit up against it. mathesonfreelancing.com

I went a third of a century accepting, on the testimony of a cartoon, that coyotes chase roadrunners before I ever saw the real thing.

Hey! Apparently it's #IReadCanadian day! If only there was somewhere readers looking for new #Canadian SFF authors to read could find a bunch of them all in one place... 🤔 a.co/d/azXj9pF

🚨 Dragon Slayers is here! 🚨 Go on quests. Get magic items. Slay dragons. Dragon Slayers is a fantasy TTRPG where every class plays with their own set of rules. Grab the PDF today, preorder your printed book, and go slay a dragon. gilarpgs.itch.io/dragon-slayers

I haven't had a chance to read in depth, just scan the PDF, but everything that catches me eye...I love it. The art really pops, too. Can't wait to get my print copy and to get this game to the table!

Congratulations to the World Fantasy Award winners and nominees!

Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game is heading our way from IDW Games (via @carturo222.bsky.social ) www.liveforfilm.com/2025/11/03/g...

I unfortunately can't be there for the launch, but plenty of my TOC-mates will be. If you’re within reach of Toronto, go listen to them read and get yourself a copy of this top-notch book.

Oh hey it's #GodzillaDay again 💪

Happy #GodzillaDay

I just carved Godzilla into a really large pumpkin this past Thursday! Enjoy! #pumpkincarving #Halloween #Godzilla #ゴジラ

GODZILLA The OG movie was released OTD 71 years ago. #GodzillaDay
