A map produced for the new 6th edition of Greg Stafford's Pendragon roleplaying game has been nominated for Best Cartography in the 2025 #ENNIES Awards. All up Chaosium creators have received nine nominations across six categories in this year's awards.

My game is vicariously up for an ENNIE for best streaming content!

Would love it if you scoot along to the ENNIEs site and vote for Spectral Schemes: the Mystery of the Ballarat Ghost, based on The Hammersmith Haunting: vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2025/ba...

‘The Call of Cthulhu’ – Looking Back on the Faux Silent Film 20 Years Later I’m of the opinion that stories are more satisfying within the historical context that they were originally created. For instance, Spider-Man works better as a character when inserted into the colorfu...

"The most faithful Lovecraft adaptation ever made, and it’s just as impressive now as it was back in 2005." — @bloody-disgusting.com writes an appreciation of The Call of Cthulhu, made by our ingenious friends at @hplhs.bsky.social to resemble a silent film from 1928.

Guess who just dropped a new Call of Cthulhu game on DriveThruRPG?

Donate to Help Miles Get Top Surgery, organised by M Lambert Hi, my name is Miles (or online as BlackSmoke1033) and I am a full time artist. You might know me… M Lambert needs your support for Help Miles Get Top Surgery

I should possibly share this again upon having my surgery consult and finding out it's 11 thousand pounds haha aa #transcrowdfund #mutualaid gofund.me/05b91ae4

- I will be at Megacon Birmingham at the end of the month

- more importantly, my chickens have their own pop up shop and we will be directly competing over who can earn the most - by that I mean seeing how wide the margin of my loss is

Love the super serious consideration she’s giving to this experience ❤️

When I as an immigrant, I realised the English paranormal investigation scene was entirely riddled by a vile class system, I became a champion of terrace hauntings, weatherboard spirits. The privileged phantoms of the aristocracy had enough sycophants, my focus was to be neglected shades.– #CJosiffe

I do a lot of work with companies that are doing Useful Things with AI. Every thing that is truly Useful is deeply predicated on human input and human validation and verification. I have only seen tremendous folly when it is used in ways that try to ‘save’ on having human expertise involved.

Ahhhh I have a Black Friday sale running right now if you wanna support a small (1 person 4 chicken) business instead of Jeff Bezos! RTs would also be very helpful! blacksmoke1033.etsy.com

@weirdtalespod.bsky.social it arrived!

Living with a nut allergy makes a lot of SE Asian cuisines a bit high risk for me, but Hainan Chicken is often a safe-ish bet. I’m yet to try the one nearest me in Botany as I think they only do it for lunch.

I used to get it at Mays in the Mardarin Centre there, and I’ve never found anywhere that does it quite the same. I think it was their ginger garlic sauce that made it perfect for me.

#democracysausage was actually a democracy donut today. My polling place also had chickens you could look at! Choosing Yes to the Voice. #voicetoparliament #yes23
