NEW BOOK ALERT! Here's my next two in the Iconic Directors series (cover art by Luke Bird) - two filmmakers VERY close to my heart. These are published 23 October, and available to pre-order now!

My first 5 RPGs… D&D Basic Tunnels & Trolls Traveller Marvel Super Heroes Judge Dredd (MERP and ElfQuest might be in there too, tbh.)

Hey, @timclare.bsky.social - look what I bought!

Well, I’m Team Lowden.

This within a week of the Osprey Games news. Brilliant innovative creativity’s not having a great time right now, is it? BioWare made some of my favourite-ever video games, but even more I feel for all those talented people being shoved out the door.

Here's my review of the incoming Ghosts movie. Spoiler alert: I'm hugely fond of it. www.timeout.com/movies/ghost...

Oh man this has made my day.

Huzzah!

Agreed. This film is magnificent. Go see!

Ok. I’ll play…

Just found this in my kitchen…

I’ve been shortlisted for Independent Editor of the year at the BSME Awards! What lovely news for a rainy humpday.

Last night I dreamed I was the new Joker (IRL, not in a movie). The details are vague, but it did involve wearing a little yellow dress and saying the line, “What’s the equivalent of ‘feeling peckish’ for needing to urinate?” Look, it sure beat my usual ‘needing to get somewhere’ anxiety dreams.

This is very pleasing news.

One day… One day…

This is superb…

It was an honour to be interviewed by @mattthr.bsky.social and to be featured beside such folks in this issue (chatting about Lane Battling Baaaaby).

If you have ANY interest in board games, you should subscribe to Senet. Just a fantastic magazine.

Is it just me, or has Connections turned really nasty recently? Like, deliberately moving past “here’s a fun, challenging puzzle for you” into full-on, “ha, fuck you!” territory?

Oh great. The return of… Cole Trickle?

I can't always afford to get these, but I love that there's a physical magazine for board games that approaches them as a real art form. It inspires me every time I see the new issue.

Tim Curry was one of the first actors to impress me with their versatility, mainly because he played Wadsworth in Clue and Darkness in Legend, both in the same year, and I watched the hell out of both those movies as a kid. RIP.

New Senet @senetmagazine.bsky.social hit the mat! I did a big interview with designer Vital Lacerda & I have a couple of reviews including a double-page spread on the truly exceptional Compania from Level 99 Games. Go grab a copy, my friends. (loads of other articles, too)

Ooh look what came in today’s post. Looking forward to cracking this one open…

One of the best gig posters I’ve ever seen…

There is literally no TV show I’m more excited about…

Right, I’m off...

Oh the exquisite cruelty and confusion of GCSE results day.

Just watching Logan Lucky on Sky. There’s a scene in which a group of rioting prisoners demand that The Winds Of Winter be added to the prison library, only to be told that George R.R. Martin hadn’t finished writing it. He still hasn’t. Logan Lucky came out in 2017.

Very much agree with this - I saw The Mad King earlier this week, and was blown away. Astonishing stagecraft, and a great way to tell the prequel story we’ve waited years to see.

So these ‘don’t use disposable BBQ’ alerts are gonna stop before bedtime, right?

Like dinosaurs? Like the ‘80s? Like Anne Hathaway? Like B-movies? Then this weekend you’re in luck… www.timeout.com/movies/the-e...

Just a reminder about our big back issue summer sale - which ends at the end of next week!

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

Time to record a lovely summer mix, methinks.

Good, good.
