and the COVER Timeline by @inkshark.bsky.social 💀
A robed figure stands in a forest of dead trees. Their back is facing us so that we, too, look into the distance. Beached and broken boats lay atop a greying rise under a cloud-wracked moon. Cover of The Deadlands Issue 43, Summer 2026

the skull says no touching
A weathered stone post carved with a skull and crossbones. Above the skull is the raised text “NO TOCAR” and below it “PELIGRO DE MUERTE,” warning not to touch due to danger of death. The whole surface is rough, chipped, and aged, set against a cobblestone walkway in the background.

final proofs for the coin are looking 🤌💀🤌 have you grabbed yours yet? psychopomp.com/product/ferr...
Two circular challenge coins are shown side by side against a dark background. The left coin features a white skull overgrown with colorful mushrooms—yellow, red, orange, purple, and green—emerging from its eye sockets and crown, with a pale ribbon below reading “ADMIT ONE.” The right coin shows a stark black tree with gnarled, twisting branches on a white background; several black stars hang from its limbs like pendulums. Text around the edge reads “THE DEADLANDS 2026,” with “MEMENTO MORI” centered at the base.

A modified version of the Simpsons “Do It For Her” meme. The bulletin board that normally shows photos of Maggie is instead covered with various pictures of skeletons in different poses and settings. The central text still reads “DO IT FOR HER,” but “her” has been humorously replaced by the collage of skeleton images, making it a skeleton-themed parody of the original meme.

A meme image based on Nickelback’s “Look at this photograph” scene. The lead singer is holding up a framed picture, but instead of a photo, the frame shows a custom coin design featuring a skull with mushrooms, plants, and the words “Admit One.” Below the image, the meme text says: “look at this coin” with the word “coin” in red replacing “photograph.”
