I am absolutely gutted to hear of the death of Rob Wieland, literally one of the greatest tabletop reviewers and commentators we had. Tirelessly tracked industry news, omnipresent in our collective circles and communities. I am so sad for his young family. These are dark days, friends.

Extremely sad to hear the passing of Rob Wieland. He was a beloved figure in tabletop and a friend.

Will miss our post-con chats, Rob.

#mörktober Day 10 - Beetle

The BE\TL is the workhorse model of the span, although skip conversions are risky given the original design’s open-air cab relies on personal life support.
#ttrpg #morkborg #art

$Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 10 - Beetle. Learn more at morksol.com A large sci-fi vehicle stands in profile with six legs, an armored carapace, and actuator horns that make it look similar to a beetle. BE\TL <CORP> Model “Beetle” All-Terrain Transport. An all-terrain-vehicle with legs and a large crew/cargo cabin. Has “wings” for vertical take off and landing. A workhorse for planetary settlers & explorers, the mostly open cab suffices for shuttle trips to and from low orbit. Particularly desperate skavs have made a secondary market retrofitting them into skips. Heavily modified BE\TLs might have fully incorporated weapon and defense systems.$

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

'90s video game magazine style ad showing a soldier with glowing eyes zoned out and holding his own brain. Text over the image reads:

THIS IS PVT. PARKER COX.

PARKER DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE ZONE. WILL YOU?

"MANDELBROT SET" is shown in a messy, multicolored title font, over several screenshots. Ad copy reads:

MANDELBROT SET is the new exclusion zone expedition campaign from CLAYMORE Roleplaying Games. With 36 pulse-pounding random encounters, new abilities like psychic magnetism and retractable claws, plus a map that changes every time you play, it’s so mind-bending and immersive, you’ll forget to go to your job (not that you have one anyway).

You’re looking at the next generation of tactical tabletop action, and it’s only available for FIST: Ultra Edition, the paranormal mercenary roleplaying game. What will you find in the Zone?

the whole reason i make the games and stories that i make is that i refuse to cede military history to reactionaries, and i want people to have non-reactionary art when they go looking for military stuff

a) this poem is a banger b) it expresses the exact frustration that grips me every time someone ""feministly"" explains that military history is Boy Stuff

I tend to think every nerdy trans woman should read Margaret Atwood's The Loneliness of the Military Historian and sit with it for a moment no matter what it is exactly she's nerdy about, but that goes double for you www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47788/...
