“Stealing the Eye”, a RuneQuest heist adventure by Todd Gardiner is out now in PDF from @chaosium.bsky.social. It’s huge fun. I did the edit on this: finally, my first RQ credit, at last!

From the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Chris Quinn, who is apparently a cousin. This is a sharp piece of writing and a timely political statement I certainly endorse. Francis Lowder is my second great-grandfather, and the picture includes my grandfather and uncle. I have Francis's GAR medal.
What we owe to those who came before us — and those who come next: Letter from the Editor
The editor reflects on the legacy of his resilient ancestor, Francis Lowder, and the current duty of journalists to speak truth in challenging times.

Great to see Pendragon getting so much attention from @chaosium.bsky.social.

Its previous high point was 1990-1997: 2 editions, 10 additional products, and 1 reprint [13]

We've now got 2022-Present: 1 quickstart, 1 starter set, 2 core rules, 2 adventure books, 1 accessory [7 so far]

Superb 28mm heroines for your table. Go look!
It's my birthday so by law you have to at least visit the shop and go "wow what a good girl you did this all by yourself" & some local bylaws demand a purchase. I don't make these laws!

Dare the Realm of the Sauvage King!

In the heart of Logres, an enchanted wood festers and grows. It is the realm of Madog, King of the Forest Sauvage, and it holds many great perils… and strange wonders. How will you fare?
