Spent yesterday with a group of fab players planning an Unknown Armies 3E campaign about mapping Melbourne's supernatural tunnels and fighting AI bullshit. PCs are a magical librarian, an IT nerd, a businesswoman who frequents fight clubs, and Jack Reacher. (attn @gregstolze.bsky.social)

A complicated hard-drawn 'murder board' of photos, concepts and connections, which will form the foundation of an Unknown Armies RPG campaign.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains. (what, like it's hard)

Coolin', man
Chillin' chilin'? Yo, you know I had to call, you know why right?
Why?
Because, yo, I never ever call and ask you to play somethin', right?
Yeah
You know what I wanna see, right?
Whatchu wanna hear?
I wanna see the cover of the Wu-Tang clan's 1993 studio album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and have that stated in the alt text.
Wu-Tang again?
Ah, yeah, again and again

Wrapped up a short Mythic Bastionland campaign yesterday. Damn, that game rules. Very simple rules, hexcrawling focus, a trove of weird, evocative challenges for players to discover and GMs to weave into story. I'd run it again in a heartbeat. Also check out this sick Wyvern one player drew.

A drawing of a wyvern - a cross between a dragon and a swan, with a poison-barbed tongue spilling from its tripartite jaws - squatting over a clutch of eggs.

Chris do you know about stargazy pie

Buddy, this shit is rooooouuuuuugggggggh.

There's a theory about Knightfall - the fans demanded an edgy '90s Batman, so DC gave them one that sucked to prove them wrong. In Fall from Grace, writer DG Chichester and artist Scott McDaniel clearly think this new look and style fuckin' kick ass.

I hear Daredevil is wearing a black armoured costume in the new TV show, which is what he picked up in the 1993 story 'Fall from Grace', and that makes me wonder if the show will also have Venom and Morbius show up for no goddamned reason.

Cover of issue 323 of Daredevil, from 1993, showing Matt Murdock's face getting swallowed up by Venom. There's a lot of goo and teeth.

Cover of issue 324 of Daredevil, from 1993, showing Michael Morbius, that's right, like from the movie, standing and screaming but his shadow is Daredevil

While cars are his passion, Daredevil will also drive a bus or ride a bike when the situation calls for it.

As previously mentioned, my 2026 project is reading every Daredevil comic. I'm up to about 1990 now, with runs by a dozen writers, and the main thing I've learned is that Daredevil, who is completely blind, loves driving cars.

My 2026 project is reading every Daredevil comic, and after a couple of months of Silver and Bronze Age stories that range from awful to middling to surprisingly good, I've hit the 1980s and Frank Miller's run. Hey, you know what comic still blows your socks off, 40+ years after it was published?

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

The cover of Fate issue 15, from DC Comics, featuring Jared Stevens (The Man Called Fate) and his sorta-kinda-romantic interest Charnelle, a murder-angel from another dimension.

Charnelle has a halberd. Jared's right arm is made of cancer-hentai. It's all pretty rad.

How rad is this watercolour by @sequentialmatt.bsky.social of Jared Stevens, the Man Called Fate? You got a comics blorbo? Maybe commission a portrait from Matt!

Putting @davidwynne.bsky.social’s work front and centre on my shelf of merch and art. Will I commission more artists to depict Jared Stevens, the Man Called Fate? Maybe fill up a whole shelf? Hmm. Let’s see.

Today’s solo game was Two-Hand Path, a post-apocalyptic dungeon crawler, and it fucking rules. Weird enemies, dice tricks, juicy choices, drawing scars and tattoos on a pair of hands to track growth - I loved it, it’s great, go get it. wilkies.itch.io/two-hand-path

Today's solo game is Sigils in the Dark, where you roll random components (and terrible costs) and then draw mystic sigils and cast spells. It's fun! I drew weird shapes! The game has editing and design problems, but provide a unique, enjoyable activity. kurtpotts.itch.io/sigils-in-th...
