I'm sure @dailydwarf.eurosky.social will put me right on this - didn't Gamers in Exile mention "a dragon in the basement" in their White Dwarf adverts at some point? I think it was actually the sound of the Thameslink line that ran beneath the shop but... thedukemitchell.uk/2020/04/28/l...

"You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone." - Marcus Aurelius on the Guardian's "The Hill I Will Die On" column.

In 2007’s Wizard Extra, Alan Moore offered a few words about his choice of classic characters for The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which were printed with typically splendid art by his LOEG collaborator Kevin O’Neill.

And to round up the trilogy for today, Judge Minty - which we were tangentially involved with by way of helping with funding and the production of some limited edition judge and mutie minis and scenics.

Carl T. Ford was a chap of rare energy and enthusiasm. Writing for and distributing his Call of Cthulhu and Lovecraftian fanzine Dagon opened the way for so many more friendships. It’s marvelous to see RPG historian @shannonappelcline.bsky.social set down the history of Dagon Press.

A new bit of history out today, a complete index and history of Dagon magazine, the very first, legendary Call of Cthulhu fanzine published by Carl T. Ford in the '80s. zinedex.designers-and-dragons.com/chaosium/dag...

An array of covers of Dagon magazine, from #1 to #20. Just the logos of #21-27 are visible, because I only had my laptop when I screenshot the covers, and that's all I could fit.

#2 What's that you're asking, what were the very *first* miniatures to feature in White Dwarf? That would be this motley assortment of bad lads, from Bryan Ansell and Asgard Miniatures, all impeccably reviewed by Ian Livingstone. Anyone have the Fighting Bishop?

Full page feature / advert from White Dwarf issue #2, featuring an assortment of figures from Asgard Miniatures, including trolls, ogres, rats, and various adventurers.
