Painted the old Warhammer Forge basilisk, which I lured out from the den it had made in my pile of shame many years ago. Got it without the original base, so built one up with citadel wood bits! Going to be using it for the Old World, where it'll be counting as a jabberslythe among my Beastmen.

Agents Kalli and Idolon have tracked the Genestealer Cult to the depths of the hive city, unaware that a lethal enemy stalks them from the shadows. New enemies and NPCs are available in the Macharian Adversary Guide for Imperium Maledictum. Pre-order today: https://bit.ly/4yUmWEF

There appears to be a publication from early summer on this, not open access unfortunately and not read it yet myself, but media reports suggest YES there are sealed ceramics with organic residues 🤩 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Ea-nāṣir Must Die! is out now! Thanks @davidblandyrpgs.bsky.social Copy/Paste Co-op and @plusoneexp.bsky.social for making this full release happen! A Bronze Age sword & sorcery house crawl adventure for 3–5 players, inspired by the historical figure and meme, Ea-nāṣir. Links below! #ttrpg #osr

good morning let's keep it going!! another handful of pledges until we unlock character backgrounds!!!

hey #portfolioday! would you like some collage art for your book covers, interior illustrations, dungeon maps, pamphlets, flyers or anything else? I'd love to do more commissioned work.

Today was my first time running an adventure I've written for a freelance RPG gig (I've been in this industry for nearly a decade, strange how these things line up sometimes). Had a blast and so did the players, some of whom were completely new to TTRPGs!

"Is Playtest Material also an attempt to legitimize role-playing game-related things as art? Maybe. RPG people at the moment do struggle to access funding sources and spaces that are open to other writers and performers, [and] one hopes that we can begin to open some of those doors."

I am returning to roleplay in the Late Bronze Age Collapse with a new TTRPG, designed for both solo journaling and GMless group play: None Could Stand Before Them A Roleplaying Game about the Sea Peoples of the Late Bronze Age Collapse Coming later this year. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fwa...

So many people have put so much effort into Issue One of Playtest Material. It releases today online, with complete open access, at 20:00 UTC. playtestmaterial.org/playtest-mat...

"Do you want to come to the pub social for the Sci-Fi and Fantasy society?" "No sorry I need to get some shopping and head home" (with the intention of watching some Sharpe and getting an early night) I really am in my 30s, huh

I am incredibly excited to see @fwalkerrpgdev.bsky.social return to this historical period!

One of my best friends is gonna be Kickstarting for a spiritual sequel to what I genuinely believe to be one of the best journalling games out there. Seriously, check out Scribe, and also check out this Kickstarter. Here's Scribe if you're interested: fredericwalker.itch.io/scribe

Battle March! Peasants flee to Nan Gau as a tribe of Ogres has come down from the Mountains of Mourn, pillaging farms for their livestock. Now a patrol under the banner of the Storm Dragon marches out to meet them, joining battle at the edge of a village where an ancient burial mound stands...

I'm only just catching up with this now, and, well, blimey... My first freelance gig was with Bite-Sized Gaming (pre-WoGD acquisition as far as I'm aware). Sad to see that this is the state of it now.

a solo memory game I initially made for an exhibition about medieval life. It never made it into the actual exhibition due to practical concerns (a custom card deck just wasn't going to work) but at least I can share it here. www.patreon.com/posts/170660...

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day He passed in 2017. As Encyclopedia Britannica puts it, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren, and the entire human race.” If you don't know his story, please take 3 minutes now to learn it. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Got distracted from a battle in Total War Warhammer 3 by an Orc stone circle. Stones haven't been dressed (other than the Orc skull carvings), but I like how the glyphs at head-height remind me of the bronze age axeheads and daggers carved into stones at Stonehenge.

I think this is the IM book that I contributed the most to to date! So exciting to see it all come together with editing, art and layout 🤩

Mušḫuššu monday once again

A miniature masterpiece from 40,000 years ago! 🦣 🤩 This tiny carved mammoth figurine measures a mere 3.7 cm in length, yet the #IceAge artist captured naturalistic detail with aesthetic perfection! Mammoth ivory. Vogelherd Cave, Germany 📷 by me #Archaeology

++NEW VIDEO ONLINE++ Y'ever have one of those nights where you can't sleep, and you end up thinking about a game and find out that you can just play it? Y'ever end up in a rabbit hole because of it? Come with me, and let's take a ride, on Heavy Metal: FAKK2 <3 youtu.be/VsWqm_IONCo

20 year old me was working retail with a seemingly unattainable dream of designing RPGs, and with awful grades leaving high school. Now I work on Warhammer TTRPGs, and have a BA in Archaeology (starting a masters in a couple of weeks). If 20 year old me heard this, it would have blown his mind. 😁

We’re thrilled to unveil the stunning cover for the Macharian Adversary Guide, the new bestiary book for Warhammer: 40,000 Roleplay, Imperium Maledictum! Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rfhppv

Fabulous Ice Age spear thrower handle carved in the form of an animal. Known as the ‘Creeping Hyena’ it was carved from mammoth ivory around 15,000 years ago. The shaft is missing, but the hook to propel the spear is still visible. From La Madeleine rock shelter, France. 📷 by me #Archaeology

In what may be my friends' last get together to play Necromunda 2017, we're taking something of a no-holds-barred approach to gang building, and yet... I'm a little too much of Stillmaniac, too attached to this specific gang I've always run to change them. One last ride for the Slate Road Scummers.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Reddit user pkunfcj has collated advice on what people in Wales can do to fight back against the trans surgical ban:: - writing to Senedd members and the First Minister (with an example email) - complain through patient advocacy services - complain to the health board - organise protests

fucking disgusting cowardice.

🚨🆕 @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com can reveal that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries for adult patients of the Welsh Gender Service Some trans patients received the news just days or even hours before they were due to take place 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/nhs-cancels-...

I finally joined the SoloRPG list!

This is so real. I'm working on a kickstarter right now and my production margins, and the time I can spend on trying to understand the legislation while also studying makes me feel like writing off physical sales to the EU is my only realistic option at this point.

I was pretty excited for that skaven mto but oof, at those prices I'm going have to pick one rat instead of the 3 I was after.

Lords of the End Times releases like. Less than a week before I start my masters degree. Uh oh.

Ok so while I understand why "our age of bronze is collapsing" is being clowned on, Nolan's Odyssey is going to make it so much easier to talk about the Late Bronze Age Collapse with general audiences and I'm super excited about that

If you see this, list your marine themed art 🏴‍☠️ This collection started as a warband for #Mordheim, but I'm really looking forward to #FromTheDepthsBelow by @forbiddenpsalm.bsky.social.

5 Gors painted today, so now I have a unit of 15 ready for battle march!

Interview with @laurieoc.bsky.social about Full Send, To Honor and Obey and a lot more! www.gmsmagazine.com/podcast-inte...

You can actually smoothly adapt 5e to tell any kind of story, even a historically-informed game about the LBA collapse!

It's #GameNight at @waylandgames.bsky.social! We played our first game of #28MillimetersBC by @fwalkerrpgdev.bsky.social We picked up the mechanics really quickly and had good fun. We're looking forward to expanding our repertoire of #dinosaurs and playing this more 🦖 #MiniatureWargames #Nerdlings
