Ok, without wanting to set off weeks of hot vitriolic discourse, where are we -as a “community”- on manticores right now? Winged or not?

look at this absolute unit.

Until we get a chance to actually read it here’s a quick 5 minute sketch this morning to illustrate the official Wyrd Science editorial line on this announcement

A good day to remind you all that you can spend £5.50 on a 28mm @countbinface.bsky.social model from Troublemaker Games, £3 of which goes to NHS supporting charities Now who is selling some frog faced fiends and a scale model pier for them to fight over? www.troublemakergames.co.uk/product-page...

What’s that Lassie? That account that posts occasionally amusing memes also produces a print magazine filled with longform articles covering everything from the history of Cold War TTRPGs to the esoteric secrets of Warhammer & fantasy metal bands? bit weird of them tbh wyrd.science/collections/...

And here’s this weekend’s haul We’re doing our bit to keep the print industry going, are you?

Annual pilgrimage to @raremags.bsky.social completed yesterday, lovely to see WS in the window, even if I managed to somehow close my eyes and point only vaguely in its direction like a total idiot in this photo. Anyway a wonderful store & great to be amongst such fine company. Do give ‘em a follow…

ok I’m really going to need you all to stop, drop & read this great feature by @lonlozzin.bsky.social for the @texasmonthly.bsky.social on all woman buhurt team the Dallas Mythics. All incredibly badass with some amazing photos by Chad Wadsworth to accompany it www.texasmonthly.com/culture/dall...

Look at us, posting DnD related memes like a real content creator

Mo monsters no problems

Gold standard monster zine from Goodbye Press I finally got my hands on

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in (pt. 34752)

many such cases

See I was imagining the guy on the left’s death rattle, or indeed quack Like the sound I imagine a very old, very broken one of these might make produce

Yeah, well try doing this with a YouTube channel

Sept 1986 issue of WD (no. 81), mentions new hardback & adventures in their GW’s Latest ad, also detail from an Esdevium Games (mail order store) ad

Like the look of this then grab copies here: thenottinghamhorrorcollective.co.uk

Flying visit to UK last weekend, picked up some great zines & various print stuff. Very into these from @tnhczine.bsky.social covering horror in all its seductive and subversive forms More pics & link 👇

Hey, stop doom scrolling, it’ll solve nothing. Why not instead grab yourself a BASIC emulator, download Usborne’s 1984 Weird Computer Games book & spend the afternoon making A WEIRD GAME, I mean that won’t solve anything too but it’s still a better use of your time drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxv0...

I 🖤 commissioning artists consider, if you will, buying more mags so I can commission more of the buggers to make more fun stuff like this* wyrd.science ----------------------- *this being by @bobgoblynn.bsky.social - he does colours real nice

Re made it with yellow paper so now that it should be a lot more popular with the kids

And here we go.

alternative idea, we just give every kid a copy of a book like this and let a thousand blossoms bloom I'm also deadly serious, the most important books I ever owned as a kid were a variety of random hand me down 1970s/1980s activity books just filled with a weird mix of indoor & outdoor stuff to do

combat in your game is boring? sounds like a skill issue and you need to go back to school and experience the visceral thrill of throwing down a Dracula when some punk kid gets up in your grill with a Zetan Warlord

my biggest complaint about the Warhammer Soulbond RPG was that if you chose to play a Lumineth Realm Lord bloke you didn't get massive penalties for trying to wear that hat in any space with things like normal sized doors or other people
