This one is a bronze (or iron) age keep. Likely suitable for #runequest ? At least? Could work in #callofcthulhu #invictus ? Or any other setting that has some kind of ”vikingesque” (or celtic) tribes. #mapvember #mapvember25 #rpg #roleplaying #bronzeage #fantasy #cartography

Will you be the 8th person to have read this week's newsletter because of a Bluesky link? Contains post-apocalyptic optimism (apocalypitmism? coining that one...), French fairy tale adventures, me moaning about the state of it all, interesting links to check out, etc etc wyrd.science/bright-future/

I've done nothing but bitch about not having breakfast this morning, as we're off out for brunch. My wife made this limoncello pudding from scratch. Think tiramisu but limoncello soaked sponge layers between lemon curd custard topped with whipped cream and mascarpone. 😋😍

OpenAI estimates <1 million users discussing suicide weekly. :/ Mental health crisis or something. Try to reach out.

👀 new genre, calligraphy swears.

A long time ago I experimented with one-page encounters and adventure hooks for OD&D, mainly White Box Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game. I never did anything with them, so here they are for you in JPEG format. They're D&D encounters I designed and ran in the 1980s (the ones I remember, anyway).

A little over 48 hours left to bid. Help me help a dog! You get a #Necromunda gang. Oz gets help with his vet bills. Everyone feels better.

Show me on the doll where the sandwich touched you.

So, when, exactly, should you call for a dice roll? "I think that PCs should always succeed and only roll if:" - time is important - consequences if they make a mistake - to determine the magnitude of a success/gain additional benefits Am I missing any? :-? I think that's all of them. #TTRPG

Hey kids! Oz needs help and I’ve got stickers. Like really cool* Nerdling stickers. If you’d like some donate to help Oz then drop me a DM and I’ll send you some. Anywhere. *maybe not cool but who’s counting really?

For those who get audibooks through Audible, Children of Ruin is part of the monthly deal for November in the UK.

Ian is one of the nicest people in the miniatures business and Fenris Games make some GREAT stuff. You'll never regret ordering from them. I never have (pay no attention to the unpainted miniatures in the storage box!). Let's help Oz out. He's a rock star dog.

it hasn't helped sell any mags but it appears our nonsense on here has just pushed our account over 5K 'followers', so let's embrace that as some kind of achievement! Like & repost this to be in with a chance to win every in-print issue of Wyrd Science & a t-shirt of your choice*

It's gin o'clock!

A packed Community Content panel at Chaosium Con EU last night. We're blessed to have such a vibrant and collaborative creator community in our programs at @drivethrurpg.com. It was heartening to have so many aspiring creators join in, keen to bring their ideas to publication too.

One from the vaults! Turkeys were a popular motif But often not doing what you would expect i.e. driving vegetable hotrods or attacking children

I discovered yesterday that both sons are avid Critical Role fans. So, we're going to see them next year at the O2 next October.

Forgot to skeet this from yesterday. Mythos epidodes 1-3 are back: remixed and with new music. www.pleasantgreen.co.uk/mythos-1-3/?...

My Call of Cthulhu scenario got a lovely little review today from Pookie at Reviews From R'lyeh! (And in related news, it's just 3 sales away from Silver.) rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/10/misk... #ttrpg #callofcthulhu #chaosium

Just read an email from Dragonmeet, it is going to be a big event. Tickets are selling extremely well so if you haven't got your ticket... I would hurry up.

Must be November, we've bought 2 tubs of Quality Street 🍬

Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil is a Kindle deal this month! it's 99p, you might as well steal it and smack me with a kipper —I move up the rankings, you get an almost-free, not-exactly cozy book about goblins, seems very fair

Today in Faversham ‘For the Love of Print’. A collection of the finest Kent based printmakers in one room battling it out to the death in their underwear*. Join us. *Selling prints and such.

This looks and sounds like a lot of fun. Who hasn't ever wanted to be a Hafling Detective? The 'cozy mystery' sphere of #ttrpg is expanding. pelgranepress.com/2025/08/06/m...

These beer can designs caught my eye, especially the 'Ingognito'.

Happy 50th to @chaosium.bsky.social www.chaosium.com/blogtoday-on...

Award winning podcast 'Weird on the Wade' from @weirdinthewade.bsky.social , popped up in my feed on the way home on Tuesday. Now 4 or 5 episodes in. I'm enjoying these gentle investigations into the weird of Biggleswade. The stories are impressively well researched and sympathetically retold.

And it begins. Every year, Reviews from R’lyeh looks at sixteen Miskatonic Repository titles for Halloween and 2025 is no different! Follow the ‘#HalloweenHorror’ thread. rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/search/label... #reviewsfromrlyeh #rpgreview #rpgreviews #rpg #Chaosium #CallOfCthulhu #CoC7

The ghouls in our marketing department changed their minds! Call of Cthulhu: Campfire Tales is coming in 2026! Happy Halloween! #CallofCthulhu #Horror #Halloween #TTRPG

It would mean a huge amount to me if people looked through this thread, shared it, and (if you’re able) set up a monthly donation with the fund 💜

Many happy returns to @lightlessbeacons.bsky.social One year of horror podcasting goodness.

A work colleague has been harping on all week about 'a large box of short bread biscuits seen in Tesco' and whether or not they should buy one. Yesterday morning I bought a box, for the office. 28 shortbread biscuits were consumed yesterday. One person has admitted to eating nine of them. NINE!

Boosting

I'd love people to recommend their favourite, obscure, horror game or adventure for Halloween.

It’s Friday and it’s Halloween so obviously this week the theme is…spooky. So let’s see things that go bump in the night. As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Thought for the day* Heartbreak Ridge is a remake of Carry On Sergeant**. *Firmly tongue in cheek. **Yes I know that was based on 'The Bull Boys'.
