Very excited to be presenting again later today at the Warhammer Conference! This year I'm talking about Necrons, Trans/Posthumanism, and why Wargame fiction is important to analyse. Plus I got this wonderful commission from @morgul.bsky.social 's sketch club, and I love it so much!

Got the chance to play some Mordheim again last night (first time in 11 years) on a friend's amazing scratchbuilt terrain. Man I've missed this game so much...there's so much character even in a dwarf who can't climb a wall, and a Marienburger stacking it from a jump and dying #warhammer

I was fortunate enough to have been involved with this last year, and it was a fantastic experience (even presenting remotely) that sparked a brilliant community. I can only reccomend getting involved if you're at all interested

A conversation with the creators of the Jan 6 wargame that left @rowanzeoli.bsky.social with a number of concerns about the potential safety of future players and audience members.
Why does the January 6 wargame even exist?

Forgot to post up the pictures I got of my finished Shatterpoint Team from this weekend's Grand Tournament (amazing what a deadline does to motivation)! It was my first one and honestly so much fun. Everyone was lovely, and I'll never get tired of throwing Hondo under a bus to try and sneak a win

I'm writing about an upcoming RPG created by someone who understands the implications an unreliable author puts on a text. In fact, the game wholly embraces that reading.
Cannot wait for more creators to fuck with reader confidence.

this article about triangle agency by @cannibalhalfling.bsky.social is really good, but it grapples with the same thing i see a lot of reviews of TA miss on, and a thing that im surprised more people dont talk about:

Nothing like an event to motivate you to get some paint on things....it's a start. (Tag for @michipeachy.bsky.social because I promised, and because of the good stream company)

Got some well earned leave coming up so it might be time to get this Lothlorien idea fully fleshed out. I think it's working so far at least

Finally got to try Arcs today. Really enjoyable game and definitely one that flows a lot better once the turn starts than the overwhelming information at the start implies.
Did I pick a high complexity character though? Yes. However, is it because they're a little weirdo? Yes. No regrets

Finally got round to watching Alien Resurrection yesterday....and you know there's the essence of a really good movie under there! Which was a surprise! How buried that good movie is...less so, but from its reputation I was expecting far worse.
