I finally saw the 1982 Conan movie. I have to say, I wasn't expecting the movie to be so ...for lack of a better phrase... art house!

Has there ever been a collection or compilation of the Adventures of Two Gun Bob comic strip (by Jim and Ruth Kelly) that used to appear in the back of Dark Horse's #Conan issues? It's such a humane and interesting series, honestly one of my favourite comics.

Fun day at #dragonmeet this year. A friend recommended Mythic Bastionland by saying "it's for your DM style. It works really well with someone who goes with the flow and makes up any old shit as things happen." With a recommendation like that, I obviously had to pick it up 😅

Mordheim is such a fun game. It's so fast, me and my mate got two games into three hours.

I watched a few episodes of Xena for the first time and I'm fascinated by the very specific aesthetics of the villages she visits. It's a very 1990s, bucolic "stacked vegetables and dreamcatchers" culturally non-specific hippy thing. And the tie-dyed arcadian villager costumes are very 90s Star Trek

I finally played Battletech after 20 years of owning it. Playing a wargame with such restricted movement options is a really interesting experience. (I still managed to get completely envelope by the enemy lance and only won through some lucky engine criticals…)

Yeah! As soon as I saw the artwork I thought Morrowind! and I Have to Have That! 😅

A D&D boss fight that's been building for half a decade, built around the weirdest collection of figures!

I had a pretty restrained day at #Dragonmeet2024 yesterday but I’m really pleased with that WFRP find. I’ve been running that campaign with the updated 4e version for a year now!

Years of waiting excitedly for this and now that it’s finally here I’m scared to open it 😊

I had lots of fun at Dragonmeet today! It was really exciting to see the Wulfweald box at the @lostpages.bsky.social table 😍

First Necromunda game in literal decades. My friend’s terrain collection is a lot more evocative than the piled books we used to use!

My (utterly gorgeous) copy of Ultraviolet Grasslands is 10mm too tall to fit standing upright on any of my shelves 🥲

I absolutely adore the smaller, softcover POD /slim hardcover formats for small press RPG books, but some stupid pedantic part of me wishes there could be some collective agreement on the height of these books 😅

It's interesting how much Earthdawn's very specific Jeff Laubenstein aesthetic carries through to the foreign edition. (if I've understood the translation correctly the art below is by Keita Amemiya's Raptor Studio)

Earthdawn TTRPG art from the Japanese edition of the game. I think the pink creature is a t’strang (lizard folk) - removing their lizard features in favour of a more human face weirdly makes them seem a lot more alien! (More here: fondationdraco.fr/2017/05/28/e... )

Looking through the first collection of Warhammer fiction, it’s amazing to see who they commissioned for these early pieces. Nicola Griffith, two years before Ammonite!

I’m completing my plans to obliterate Bogenhafen! I don’t normally run published adventures and the WFRP books are really overwritten, but so far it’s been a really fun campaign in the Warhammer Old World

Janet Aulisio artwork for the Earthdawn RPG in the early 1990s. I’ve always loved the lighting in her artwork.

I've been really enjoying this witch-y novel lately, but I have to ask - why were 1990s science fiction novels so obsessed with carnivals?
