It's not the most visually elaborate sword but the other day I was fascinated by the story of radical abolitionist John Brown who was fighting slavery with a broadsword:
A photo of abolitionist John Brown is seen at the John Brown Museum in Osawatomie, Kansas, with a broadsword similar to ones used by Brown and his sons.

@shop.peregrinecoast.press Was @leedsbgc.bsky.social on your radar? Just seen they're expanding their space for TTRPGs at next year's event and are asking for "TTRPG specialists" to get in touch!
Screenshot from a newsletter announcing that "We have been able to secure extra space within the (Leeds Board Game Con) venue for TTRPGs! This is a recent development and we are still working out the finer details of this - whilst we confirm this, we'd love to hear from any TTRPG specialst you may know - please encourage them to fill out the form below!"

Post a WARNING.
A sign displayed in a London Underground train station announcing a "Level 5 Goose Warning - The Goose on platform 2 is violent and has claimed the platform as his own. Please avoid."

Sounds about right.

Love it. Better hope they don't hatch....
A still from the 1979 science fiction horror film Alien where Kane (John Hurt) discovers a field of xenomorph eggs within a derelict starship.

I'm sure someone is already on it but This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone would make for a brilliant duet RPG
