These beautiful fanart pieces, including Fianna Vs War Wolf, were created by Brocó Ó Diolúin, or @badgerkingtattoo on Instagram! Many thanks to him for allowing us to share his work 🙂 #trenchcrusade #fanart

I probably should have read Blame before I ran Gradient Descent. I’ll be ready for the next time I run it.

A flip through of the book from Questing Beast.

A blast from the OSR past, Yoon-Suin, by David McGrogan (noism). I’m always excited about more Matt Adams art as well. This book is somehow both smaller and bigger than I imagine.

You could post in the Discords you are already a part of, or do you want feedback from randoms that aren't in your social circles? I can add you back to Secret 40K once again. I 100% can't imagine you running a Discord server, but maybe you will prove me wrong! 😘

Crafting a physical recreation of a large area from Prospero's Dream for my Mothership campaign finale!

The creation of the scene will involve tiles that I digitally paint and stick onto chipboard, as well as various 3d printed or kitbashed sculpts. Here's a sneak preview!

Something small for @dceiver.bsky.social but you can all use it too: Random Grimoires for Errant (or other games where you might need something like this).

Random Grimoire!

Alex was joking it looks like they made the fake video game Vermis into a real game.

And now in blog form: playing multiplayer co-op Warcry.

Save vs. Total Party Kill - Co-op Multiplayer Warcry

My friends were over to kitbash minis and play Warcry to celebrate our friend Richard’s birthday. There was a small posse of us, so Richard came up with a simple and ingenious way to play mutli-player...

Met up with friends an we kitbashed minis and played a 3v3 game of Warcry. We made teams by splitting our warbands up in the usual Dagger, Hammer, and Shield groups, but then we each randomly were assigned one of the roles per team. So it remained approximately 1000 points per side.

Played it! Mythic Bastionland.
My takeaway was this game's design focused on simplicity and emergent gameplay, encouraging players to create and play within streamlined frameworks.

And my thoughts I shared on G+, when I first read the games rules:

“The most amazing thing about Apocalypse World is that it talks about special sex moves on its 11th page and somehow manages to recover just fine.” — Me, August 20th 2016

I wrote about the second edition of the game over on my blog, after playing it at Breakout Con long ago now.

Save vs. Total Party Kill - Apocalypse World

My second day of BreakoutCon began with a game of plain old Apocalypse World. There are many games built on top of the rules for this game I often forget that underneath them all there is a game about...

Everyone is sharing this Kickstarter, why not me. If you aren’t familiar, Apocalypse World is one of the best OSR DMGs. Teaching the youth how to play old-school D&D since 2010.

…

It’s also a game in its own right. I’ve played it! Do recommend.

The British version of basic D&D with the Blanche cover goes hard

A blue D&D book cover. The art is blue and white - a dragon wrapping its tail around a fighter and a very tall wizard looking badass

I wrote a blog post on an OD&D campaign I'm starting soon, as well as outlining a procedure inspired by Turn Undead to make people shit themselves.
