What the world needs now, more than anything, is a random table to generate Haemogoblin names based off the characters from 1980's BBC school drama series Grange Hill. #BOSR

As a fan of ephemera, I made a postcard-sized sheet of cut-apart randomizer chits based on the cards that came in the later printings of the J. Eric Holmes edited Basic D&D set. Here is the front and back of the card – this will be included with the wilderness game board. #OSR #B/X #OSE #DND #RPG

Why are online fandoms so awful at doing history? poor research, endlessly regurgitating hearsay, constant presentism, failing to recalibrate narratives when new evidence comes to light. I get it's a casual thing for clicks, but the levels of disinfo is off the scales.

I had way too much fun creating dead mall stuff for the latest issue of Tumulus. Issue 8 is all about dead malls and abandoned arcades. It also has articles on the influence of Rogue and Dark Souls on tabletop games, all with design exercises you can try. Shipping now from the shop!

Heads up Trooper! We made a custom pixel font for Zone Troopers headings, based on the typography in the 1986 Rogue Trooper computer game. Now you too can type like the electronic ghost of a Genetic Infantryman on a ZX Spectrum. Free download: fontstruct.com/fontstructio...

I wonder what GW is trying to claim as a trademark here - Fantasy™ Roleplay or Fantasy Roleplay™? either way it seems hard to defend as FRP is descriptive, generic, nondistinctive and was a common acronym in the 80s for TTRPGs.

Although the tagline for Zone Trooper is "The Future War Roleplaying Board Game" at its heart it's an abstract dice game combined with a puzzle. #1pRPGjam
