A great day's gaming at @tabletopscot.bsky.social 🇸🇧 – here's Cult of Chaos GMs Abby Powell running Rivers of London and Farran Jones running Cthulhu by Gaslight. David Scott demoed Rivers of London too. Meanwhile, we were pleased to support the Scottish Huntington's Association's Charity Tombola.

This Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress. They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post. I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail! www.reddit.com/r/Cuneiform/...

I should note none of these new books are just new editions. Mike and others have really expanded them, with adventures pushed to future(?) releases. Oh, and here's a look at the last book I got and its predecessor. 🧵fin

You can’t fool me, I’ve read #DeltaGreen, that there’s a Dark Young.

Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

In loving memory of the late, great Dario Corallo, who passed away earlier this year, I've put together "Dario's Friends and Foes: The Cradle". This makes available all 155 card standees that he generously created when we ran The Cradle as a multi-stage tournament game at Chaosium Con UK 2025.

It's funny because I have a friend, and I know if she loves a movie, book, etc, I will very likely dislike it. Which is often just as helpful as recs from someone with similar taste.

Absolutely going to about the point here but even if you have zero interest in UFOs, folklore, the paranormal or just general high weirdness, this is an astonishing resource for graphic design inspiration god, I love zines...

I’m proud to see #DeltaGreen on that list, of course. But I’m shocked to see it there.

In playtesting, I switched from Lidda the halfling rogue to Süllüllücōnz the drow wizard, seen here taking on the arc's ultimate foe. She is named after an historical figure whose treachery was so great that most people have forgotten his name. She sees things that aren't there, esp. star children.

This is unsurprisingly a great listen about everyone’s favourite indomitable Gauls. A bunch of things I didn’t know, and I’m going to grab my copy of Asterix in Belgium when I am next at my folks.

John Bull@garius.bsky.social · 3w ago

The biggest selling comic of all time is One Piece. The second biggest is not from the US or UK. It's French. DELIGHTED to welcome @juliekalman.bsky.social onto Untitled History Pod to talk origins of Asterix the Gaul and how it made modern France. Listen below, Youtube or your pod app of choice

In a realistic contemporary universe the supervillains are all easy to catch because they spend all their time announcing the brilliance of their schemes on social media
