it is the #DayOfDredd, so as we hurtle, seemingly unstoppably, towards the kind of horrifying future that @2000ad.bsky.social has spent the last 5 decades warning us about, let’s look back at a better, absolutely in no way simpler, time when we weren’t scared of our RPGs having rules

Another great issue of #whitedwarf dropped through my letterbox, issue 40. I find the cover quite odd, yet another classic though. Looking forward to reading it.

The September 1981 run of 2000AD covers was surely one of the greatest in the comic’s history. One absolute classic after another. (Dave Gibbons/Mike McMahon/Kevin O’Neill/Dave Gibbons.)

If you're curious as to what The Terror Beneath is all about, this page should be useful
The Terror Beneath Reading List If you’re less familiar with Machen’s tales of horror it’s recommended you read the following (most, if not all, are available to read free online):
• The White People • The Great God Pan • The Novel of the Black Seal • The Novel of the White Powder • Ornaments in Jade • The Inmost Light • Out of the Earth • The Lost Club • The Terror • The Shining Pyramid • The Hill of Dreams • The Red Hand • A Fragment of Life • The Green Round • N WHAT IS WEIRD FOLK HORROR?
The taxonomy of horror subgenres is admittedly a bit of a mire. Machen’s stories are especially difficult to categorise, with hallmarks of cosmic horror intertwined with the rustic chills of folk horror and the science fiction trappings of weird fiction. 
The Terror Beneath uses the term ‘weird folk horror’ to describe this particular ‘Machenesque’ genre, encompassing strange Otherworldliness, pagan terror and science gone awry. Because this game expands on Machen’s mythos, for want of a better word, having a term such as weird folk horror makes it easier to understand what sort of stories and monsters fit into this world. A ghost haunting a mansion isn’t weird folk horror, but a scientist building a machine to communicate with an ancient horned god is. A weird folk horror mystery will likely have a mix of the following:
• Contacting an ancient pagan deity in one of its forms (The Great God Pan).
• The slow realisation that the world isn’t as it seems, with the mundane giving way to the fantastic (A Fragment of Life).
• Discovering murderous hidden beings of folklore lurking in the countryside (The Shining Pyramid).
• Traversing the Veil between Earth and the Otherworld (The White People).
• Scientists mixing technology and occult rites with disastrous consequences (The Inmost Light).
• Discovering strange places that exist outside of space and time (N).
• Secret societies with bizarre and frightening rituals (The Lost Club).
• Ancient beings arriving in industrialised London (T…
