Two illustrations by Tim Sell from the two-part Ancient & Modern AD&D / Call of Cthulhu scenario - one of a gargoyle-like fantasy monster, the other of a 1920s gun-toting investigator.

#80 Ancient & Modern, Graham Staplehurst's time-travelling AD&D / Call of Cthulhu mash-up, inspired by the Hyborean stories of Brian Lumley.

A colourful collection of covers from the British comic book 2000AD

Covers 21-30 from the first 300 progs. Listen to my discussion with Pete Wells in episode 300

A drop of dream fuel - Chasing the Lightship by Les Edwards

Ha, yes, good point. Maybe I'd better roll up a few extra NPCs. 😄

Angels with Dirty Kneepads, a Savage Worlds scenario featuring the Angel Gang from 2000AD.

Finished writing my scenario for #OBaWS. 🙂
Just have to write some handouts.
And all the pre-gens.
And get some maps and tokens.
So, nowhere near finished, really. 😬

Covers 11-20 from the vote on the first 300 Progs. Listen to my chat with Pete Wells about that surprise at number 11 in episode 300 of the book club.

Great cover, classic Ron Smith.

Even with lots of adverts, the content in those issues is all killer, no filler. #FirstGoldenAge

Reading some old #WhiteDwarf mags, gobsmacked how much of the mags was adverts - no35 47% no 36 46% (approx) - did we not care back in the day as the ads were cool?

We've published over 750 titles over the past half-century. At the link Rick Meints, head of Chaosium's Nostalgia department, talks about each of the treasured items picked out to be on display in our 50th Anniversary cabinet at Gen Con.

#RPGaDAY2025 day 2, Prompt. Here I was thinking of how to get progress and momentum going in games. The classic ‘so what would you like to do?’ Or the recap of the major plot threads. Or remembering the NPCs have agency and the story moves on - throw action and events at the players

He's up there. (Sienkiewicz, not Batman. Although Bats is also up a pole, it looks like.)

Cover for The Specials single Do Nothing, featuring a black & white photograph of the band.

Binned my Specials RPG, and the introductory Maggie's Farm scenario. Doesn't look like I'll be joining the international jet set, after all.

Yep, coloured into the bargain.

Found this link a while back, think it's all of them in one place :D

The team from The Travellers comic strip meet the patron in a bar. They know he's the patron, as he's covered in 'Patron' signs.

#54 If only the Patron was always as easy to spot, as in Mark Harrison's strip The Travellers.

Three views of our giant 15oz El Grande Shoggoth mug, a giant white mug with a big handle and a cartoonish illustraion of a mass of mouths, tentacles, teeth and eyes.

It's Friday! Treat yourself to a new mug!

Heaven knows I haven't got room for them, they're MASSIVE.

Cover for The Best of White Dwarf Articles, a Frazetta-style barbarian doing his thing.

Yes, the Monstermark was in the first "Best of" articles collection. Having it all in one place didn't make it any more understandable, though. 😆

I got it wrong too. 😳

The original Rogue Trooper teaser image that Pete Wells mentioned in episode 300

It ran for a few issues, IIRC. Lew was always worth reading, even if you didn't always agree with him.

This must mean @oldscouserp.bsky.social is Lew's padawan. 😆

Top of page of A Guide to Dungeon Mastering (Part 1: Setting up Adventures) by Lewis Pulsipher, from White Dwarf #34. The picture by Alan Hunter shows a sword-wielding adventurer, dwarfed by a horned demon looming over him.

#34 Lots of GMing advice on Bluesky at the moment - what goes around comes around.

I remember being blown away by his art on Electra Assassin.
