Patreon backer @nightnoon.games brings us this special episode all about the monsters of a classic Hungarian animated film!

I don't know about planes, but it would make sense. Also if there is a flag on either side of the plane, then if the canton is forward in both cases you can imagine they are the two sides of the same flag.
I mean, I don't think they wear them on an olive t-shirt, though.
That is actually what it's supposed to look like. The flag on the right sleeve military uniforms is worn with the blue canton forward and is therefore "backward." The idea is that it looks like the flag is being carried on a flagpole.
We're back in Krynn today, with the last of the dwarves and the first of the elves! One of these is a big departure from the traditional image of the type, and the other one ... isn't.

The Booklet of Bounties is kind of a spiritual successor to Wanted: Belladonna Mortsafe, a pamphlet adventure I wrote for Troika! You roll up a fugitive, her allies, some locations, etc. It's PWYW, and if WYW to P is 0, I endorse that.

Hi, Rainbow!
A cludbur sentinel responds to one of the ever-present threats of the marsh.

Possibly a lot of cons are near the sea because the boom of consumer air travel has left British seaside resort towns with quite a lot of hotel space and not huge crowds, which makes them affordable to run events in.

I have a great fondness for those LJN toys. I was going to say it is a struggle not to start collecting them, but that's me and a lot of things.
Periodically, I remind you that my Patreon tier levels are absurdly cheap (& will probably go up this year). Give me $2 a month and get over 200 episodes of Patron Deities, my podcast about myths & religions of the world as sources for RPGs! (I know, needs new banner.)

My latest zine, The Booklet of Bounties, is now available digitally from my Itch store! It's full of tables and writing prompts for quickly creating bounty-hunting scenarios, and has great art from @hodagrpg.bsky.social and @toadlett.bsky.social!

Photo of a toy package advertising "Grow Your Own Gorilla Egg," with an illustration of gorillas emerging full-grown from eggs.
Almost certain this isn't how it works.
I will drop my local library an email to see if they want anything. They do have game nights, although I'm not aware that they have an RPG group. There's also an RPG night at my favourite pub; I could shoot a few over there.
If you know of one that would like some, I will send 'em over!
Oh, I should add: I am in the UK.
I don't know how a good cause would benefit from a bunch of niche fantasy RPG zines, but if you know of a good cause that would like some they're very welcome to them.
Stacks of copies of three zines: The Guide to Grunts, the Tome of Tombs and The Magonium Mine Murders.
During my huge office clearout and reorganisation, I found these old stacks of zines that are a little scuffed. They're in pretty good shape, just a wee bit too bent or marked for me to sell (I am finicky about it). Anybody want one? Perhaps you have surplus zines you'd like to swap?
The Primer is included in the No Ice in Minnesota bundle running on Itch for the next 15 days. If you get it in the bundle, you also unlock the full hardcover PDF when it releases in March. So there’s no better time to get a killer game and raise money for a crucial cause!

Hunt serial killers in a rain-soaked city on the edge of apocalypse. Midnight of the Century is a mid-'90s pre-apocalyptic serial killer investigation #TTRPG inspired by Millennium and Silence of the Lambs.
Happy birthday!
Having said that, it's pretty evident in the mechanics. If this were Murder, She Wrote: The RPG, a mechanic called The Crown of the Void (or whatever it is) would look really out of place.
Re: Brindlewood Bay. I mean, yes? It'd be hard to miss that the horror in Brindlewood Bay is very connected to images of femininity in general and motherhood in particular. But it's designed as a slow build; there won't be much horror in the first scenario. So if you only play once ...
I'm a simple man: I see a Fairclough sculpt, I hit like.
(Have you read or played Wasteman? It's a lot of silly post-apocalyptic fun.)
PATREON LAUNCH!!
By pledging, you get to use a bunch of my art for personal/commercial usage! You also get my zines for free!
If you just want to support me, there's a lower tier, too!
Thanks for any and all support! Likes and reposts are much appreciated :)

We're back in Krynn and looking at two more clans of dwarves: the noble Hylar and the sneaky, backstabbing Theiwar.
