I would have gone to the R40 show in Seattle but it happened when I was at GenCon.

which, until recently, was their final tour. That gave me feelings so I thought shit, maybe I should take the pain and get a ticket after all. Well now tickets are like $300-400, so I’ll just have to live in the memory of seeing them on the Signals and Grace Under Pressure tours.

The last time I saw Rush was 1984, shortly before I got into punk rock. A couple of months ago I looked into tickets for their comeback tour and they were $150 or so. Too much for me right now so I dropped the idea. Last night I watched a documentary called Time Stand Still about the R40 tour,

I was on @benriggs.bsky.social's podcast Reading D&D Aloud with artist Mike Franchina to talk about Trench Crusade and other games. I also talk about Nobunaga's Black Castle, our current Kickstarter. It was a fun conversation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpuP...

It’s because it was never written or published. Osprey decided sales of the series didn’t warrant a fourth book, so the mock up is the only thing that was done for it.

I'm attempting to schedule an online session 0 for my players at D&D in a Castle and it's going as you might expect. I told them that trying to find a time when 6 adults can get together is an authentic D&D experience. :)

Reformed bands are often spotty so I wasn't sure what to expect but damn, I love this record. There's some great guitar playing on Frustration. RIP Cheetah.

Chris Pramas @chrispramas.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Now RFTT never put out a record and were largely heard through bootleg live shows for decades. In 2003 they reformed, with Television's Richard Lloyd taking the late Peter Laughner's spot. They finally did a proper studio recording of the RFTT songs, released as an album called Rocket Redux.

Chris Pramas @chrispramas.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

These Cleveland proto-punks were only around for about a year, but the members split into three different bands that each carried forward some RFTT songs. The most notable of these bands were Pere Ubu and the aforementioned Dead Boys.

I was working at WotC on D&D at the time (and Jefferson still works there!) so employee discounts were in effect. It’s weird how vividly I remember this when it’s so easy for me to forget things now.

Today’s household find comes from the halcyon days of third edition 40K. I remember going up to the big WotC Game Center on the Ave in Seattle with @darklament.bsky.social on the release day of the 3E boxed set this terrain comes from. This was 1998.

Now Nolan's Odyssey uses the collapse as a near future disaster that will lead to a dark age. Rather unexpectedly then, there's a way into the period from a big piece of pop culture that millions of people will see. No time for this now but I will keep the idea in my back pocket.

Chris Pramas @chrispramas.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

About six months ago, I went down a historical rabbit hole studying the Bronze Age Collapse. I remember thinking that it'd be a fascinating period for a roleplaying game, but who outside of history nerds had any idea what it was?
