One of my all time favourite books, Holdstock’s great classic of British fantasy. Join us to see what Emma made of it!

Time to share another piece of historical public domain art I found while making #ChaoticEncounters !
"Look Ma! I'm a Dandy Lion!"

I guess it's a very artistic rendering of astronomical phenomena?
Or perhaps astrology.

Time to share another piece of public domain art to celebrate getting closer to releasing Chaotic Encounters! I mean, what is even slightly happening here? I used it as part of the story of the Psychedelic Dragon, but who knows what it really is?

alarm clock. ringy-dingy.
tricycle. trikie-bikie.

What if the inventor of walkie-talkies had invented other things?
Blender. Slicey-dicey.
Roller skates. Bootie-scooties.
Fertility treatment. Baby-maybe.
Tupperware. Storey-morey.
Electric torch. Glowie-showie.

Time to share another cool piece of public domain art!

Actually these are heroes from a Georgian legend. They're called Tariel and Avtandil and in the story they're just really good bros. But I definitely ship it!

Once again I'm celebrating getting closer to finishing Chaotic Encounters by sharing weird and wonderful public domain art I've found on the way. Starting with Gay Pastel Princes! I love them.

Halloween will continue until morale improves.

I would like to propose a sequel to Predator: Badlands - "Predator: Mad Lads". In which a Predator repeatedly fails to kill a bunch of lads-on-tour because they enjoy increasingly unlikely strokes of luck.
(Also the Predator is hunting them because they posted a TikTok saying they were "dangerous".)

So, Dragonmeet is coming up, and if you want to hear me and @lostpages.co.uk talk about making magic in RPGs more, er, magical, why not come to our talk on Saturday 29 November at 1430? It's part of Seminar Track 1.

Next weekend is GROGMEETish and there are still places available for incredible games warhorn.net/events/grogm...

And, finally, for now, Medieval Monster Rider!

Next up, a pantomime poster that looks like it should be the cover of a #DCC module!

As I put the, (hopefully), finishing touches on Chaotic Encounters, I feel the need to share some of the joy of the public domain art I've encountered on this strange journey through art history.
First up, beer! Here's to you American Beer Goddess!

The most fascinating thing about the flags-on-lampposts crowd is that if St George were alive today and turned up in England they'd campaign to send him away.

@gonzohistory.bsky.social I enjoyed your whistle-stop tour of 'Byzantine' monsters! Particularly the mention of Prokopius.
Have you checked out The Maniculum podcast? They're Medievalists and roleplayers and they did a deep dive on The Secret History as RPG source material.

Back on the diet and trying not to think about the box of Ferrero Roche I have in my presents cupboard.

They denied him water for 8 days, until he died of dehydration, then covered it up. The US prison system permits — encourages — a group of prison guards to torture a mentally ill Black inmate to death. It happens over and over. You can't "reform" this.

A very interesting series of articles about Titus Groan/Gormenghast, RPGs in general, and Ghastly Affair in particular.
