@floaker.bsky.social drops into Derry & Toms to talk game design and an intriguing proposition for a very particular Moorcock property. Great conversation and, as always, Tanya makes me think about RPGs in a different way.

@joebankswriter.bsky.social returns to D&Ts as we look at, and perhaps re-evaluate, Michael Moorcock's 1975 album The New Worlds Fair.
I was pretty underwhelmed when I first got this on CD in the 90s. But I was wrong. It has aged like a fine Melnibonéan wine.
