In 2025 we raised ~$300 to fund a new website which remains unspent. As our final act upon this material plane, we will be using that money to award 6x $50 USD micro grants to ttrpg designers or content creators that could use a small boost.

APPLY HERE before Jan 31: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Shout-out to Matthew Morris (@squingus_squench), who we worked with to design the original cover art for issue #33 of 52 Pickup.

It's our first time working with this New Zealand artist, and looking forward to working with new artists and game designers in 2026!

Caelyn documents the terrible incident that occured last week where she, and many other women in the wargaming hobby, disappeared completely, and looks at how it can be prevented from occurring again.
Short institutional memory can’t excuse wargaming’s most insidious cultural issues.
Bigotry and bad behavior in the hobby cannot be treated as isolated incidents.

Today's video is Inis, a card driven, area control game game that is extremely dynamic. Also, a game with absolutely stunning visuals. This is one of the most recommended games to me by my patrons and viewers, so it was great to finally get to play it. youtu.be/xi1ZEoJP1vk

The Hull, The Hit Squad, and the Swinger.
Two playbooks and a new Crew waiting for you in the free preview of Blades' 68.
Sign up to follow the campaign and scroll down to get access to the preview PDF.
www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
Will you be the life of the party...

or the death of it?
A triptych of images. The Hull is a robot with glowing red eyes wearing a blue work jacket and somehow managing a sullen expression. The playbook is described as "The soul of a condemned criminal trapped in a robot body." The Hit Squad shows an image of a pistol with a silencer and a playing card with a skull and viper on its face. A crew playbook for contract killers, discreet and skilled assassins. The Swinger depicts a woman with a bob haircut and bright pink sunglasses flashing a peace sign. Her dress is brown, pink and yellow. The playbook is described as "A wheeler and dealer - the life of the party."

We're so proud of what we made, but due to ∼everything∼, the founders of gothHoblin's Grimoire have decided to close the tome for good.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and to our amazing contributors for your time & creativity. 🖤

Kiwi #TTRPG folks - who is going to Kapcon this weekend?

Wellington’s wonderful RPG con is over 30 years old and is an annual highlight for me! D&D and Cthulhu games of course, but also loads of weird and wonderful indie games.

And welcoming to all! (Kids sessions Sunday!)

Come!

As promised, let me tell you about the Seer!

The Seer can see through space and time to discover details several hexes away or view the distant past. But like all playbooks, there are Dangers facing the Seer because of their magic…seeing the future deaths of everyone you love changes a person!

We reviewed Deathmatch Island over the weekend. The name says the basics, but it is the basics - there's as much The Prisoner in the DNA as Battle Royale or Squid Game. For comics people, this actually reminds me of the Vertigo-y Morrison stuff, complete with Rian Hughes does the Filth art-design.
Threedom: DEATHMATCH ISLAND - Old Men Running The World
The latest game the Old Men team played was DEATHMATCH ISLAND by Tim Denee (now working on Blades ‘68), and based on the Paragon System, by John Harper
