You have to be real Tolkien nerd to get this one, but if you do, it’s hysterical.
Another by "JBA" found in the @tolkiensociety.org Archive!
Found in a folder called "Misc Amon Hen art", likely from the mid/late 80s. #Tolkien #lotr #Booksky

My god, this game completely fell into my memory hole. So many hours playing this on an Apple ][e with a green monochrome monitor. That damn hawk! I can’t believe I had no memory of it until I came across the game box cover art.

Not involved with this at all personally, but still excited. I remember picking up the Dell Publishing edition of “Warlock” at a Scholastic Bookfair in the early ‘80s and wearing it out.

This is definitely true for me. Leiber was a terrific influence, both as a fantasy writer and an sf writer. Genius, and now virtually out of print.

When I was a child, the novels of Fritz Leiber were way more important to me than The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. If anything Tolkien was the British Leiber

Mexican folklore, La Planchada is the ghost of a heartbroken nurse who haunts the halls of hospitals. Dressed in a perfectly pressed, vintage uniform, she is known to tend to neglected patients in the middle of the night, vanishing the moment the morning shift arrives. #Ghosts #phantomsfriday

Happy Belated Birthday to Clark Ashton Smith, whose only rival for the exquisite use of the English language in fantasy literature is Lord Dunsany.
Smith’s work was distinct from his compatriots, however. Whereas Lovecraft’s work celebrated certain themes like cosmic horror and inhuman contamination and Howard was known for his memorable characters, Smith built worlds...

I'm a big fan of Loan Sloane. Druillet's worlds are on par with Kirby's.
Nihilism in Detail: The Artwork of Philippe Druillet
The comics industry has had its fair share of visionaries, from Seigel and Schuster. And then there's Philippe Druillet whose work was unmoored from any visual language before or since.

For no perceivable reason (aside from it’s a hell of a jam), Minor Threat’s “Salad Days” has been on repeat in my head all day. This baby is definitely no longer cute.

I've been so busy with work and the collapse of democracy that I utterly missed the debut of the 3rd season of Primal. AND, "Hide, Stone, and Bone: A Paleolithic Skirmish Wargame" ships on January 27th. Looks like I need to get back to work on my Steven Barber "Prehistoric Settlement" minis. #primal

I love my players. First Vampire game of 2026 ended with the coterie possibly about to murder 12 humans at the whim of the Prince. 30 minutes after the game, one person had already created the “VtM NYE Massacre-rade” Spotify playlist of 1991 dance music for next game.

"The Lion in Winter" may be the most quotable movie ever produced. Some of those quotes are more timeless and true than others.
