Do NOT sleep on this no-prep horror game. @planetsmashergames.bsky.social created a clever way to roleplay a single-narrator Lovecraftian story. Watch my narrator slowly lose himself and his beloved city to an unknown horror. Crawling Chaos Horror RPG (1 player, 4 GMs) One Shot

Judge Dredd the Ork enters the arena! We used him to represent that time was up and Orks could no longer be booted back onto their feet. Around him, Orks stand by their dice stacks and in the verrry far distance you can see my scabby elbow

Me and a couple of chums played our first game of #SpaceGits by @planetsmashergames.bsky.social last night. It was *a lot* of fun! We decided a paper mat would add to the chaos, and it led to lots of crease-based comedy (mainly crease=buttcrack jokes). Also, I lost

New game releases mean new accessory ideas....

Some initial thoughts that popped into my head for @planetsmashergames.bsky.social new Pacific Command games, just out this week from Osprey.

First purchase on the day last week was The Crawling Chaos from the excellent @planetsmashergames.bsky.social and as recommended to me on the drive to Expo by @jaydekker.bsky.social. A reversal of form with one player and a number of GMs describing your Narrator's descent towards madness or death.

Multiple shots of the Hot Wheels Jaguar Mk1 from the 2025 release. The car is painted in white primer and is well armed. The roof mounted harpoon pulls rivals onto the grenade-tipped lance. A multi-tube launcher lobs volatile explosives high into the air. The trunk mounted oil slick dropper dissuades tailgaters.

Some say he once lapped Fury Road in reverse and that he parallel parked into a war zone… All we know is, he's called #TheStig. Stoic, savage, and always on pole - he is the tame racing driver of #Gaslands.

A photo of three orks during a game of space gitz. One of them has a giant tower of dice in the foreground, while in the background another ork has a slightly smaller tower while the final skulks around unsure what to do.

Photo of a game of space gitz, where one player is attempting to move an Ork with their corresponding tower of dice without knocking them over. In the foreground there are Orks with varying towers of dice.

Played the quick start rules for space gitz with a mate. It's a barrel of laughs and can't wait for the Kickstarter to come through! All games featuring Orks should be this fun, chaotic and kitbash friendly.

I set myself an hour after work today to come up with something based on Mike's riot dice rules.

Presenting:

*Mugs & Managers* A dexterity brawl across a cluttered office desk. Balance dice. Flick erasers at each other. Sabotage your coworkers. First to escape the grind wins.
