Brown Horse’s new album, Total Wreck, is phenomenal. That is all.

There are no nicknames quite like the nicknames for local characters

I love y'all, but if I have to read another "I am inventing game-based learning and/or larping from first principles" essay that refuses to acknowledge the last 25 years of research, I'm going to have to give its author an academic time-out (and a reading list).

‘When there was wonder in the world’: why Raiders of the Lost Ark is my feelgood movie The latest in our series of writers paying tribute to their go-to comfort films celebrates Steven Spielberg’s escapist globe-trotting adventure

‘When there was wonder in the world’: why Raiders of the Lost Ark is my feelgood movie

The first Imaro is one of the greatest sword & sorcery books ever written. Prose with the heft and cadence of myth. If you’re interested in fantasy, you should check it out!

I’ve lost count of the times my boss has selected who I date, or insist I move out of my apartment. Daily occurrence here in the old EU.

I remember seeing these covers in Hammicks - long since closed down - in Stockport, and being fascinated and scared in roughly equal measure

I remain convinced that his cover of Dylan’s Tryin’ To Get To Heaven, released fairly close to his death (possibly after?) is one of the finest male vocal performances ever. And it’s barely mentioned. The power and anguish in his voice is astonishing.

Coming soon: Fomoria – Epic Folk Horror Roleplaying Brave the Darkness, eat the heart of gods, and purge the filth of the Red Plague in a shifting subterranean world.

Wouldn't it be CRAZY if we could get 5000 people following the Fomoria Kickstarter before it goes live on April 7? About 300 to go.

And yet somehow they will emerge from this massacre convinced that they’re secretly nailing it.

A thread worthy of the read

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn’t Indiana Jones.

I would not like it in my art,
I would not like it from the start,
I do not want it in a can,
I do not want it Sam I Am!

Cthulhu City is, to my mind, still one of the best sourcebooks ever published. Frankly ludicrous amount of fantastic material

Ars Magica Open License

This is exciting. They just made all of the Ars Magica RPG - rules and suppliments - open source and free to own! www.atlas-games.com/arsmagica/op...

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

‘This horror movie doesn’t fit my expectations of an action movie, so it’s obviously awful. While I have never directed a film I am confident my version of it would be 100% superior.’

That is a great great name - especially for a band

Have you guys got a newsletter or similar I can get an alert from?

Only just seen this and Cloud Empress already sold out! Curses!

I know this isn’t the focus of the post, but it’s made me miss the Pev deeply

But was it worth it? Really?

I loved her Arthurian trilogy. Wonderful stuff

Would being of Numenorian descent be considered ‘doping’ or result in failed drug tests?

Would Frodo have had his yellow jersey stripped from him, should the Gollum affair ever come to light?

So many Tour de Middle Earth questions…

Who is publishing this? It sounds fantastic!

You know when you discover a band that’s entirely new to you - somehow - and have loads of great albums and you spend a month in haze of awesome new music?

It’s good that, isn’t it?

They missed the obvious ‘Ale’ll Be Back’ joke as well. Shocking. Truly shocking.
