I wanted to talk about different approaches to running Mass Combat and how that is couched in either narrative or mechanical terms. Check out my thoughts here.

I first watched The Sword and the Sorcerer five years ago while painting Warhammer with a friend. I'm still not convinced the film was real, and not some amalgamation of paint fumes and whiskey.

Struggling to stay focused on one JEM project when a friend comes along and suddenly suggests something else that sounds awesome.
Join me for some recent reflections on 5e - and what increasingly doesn't seem to work.

Setting up the DriveThru page and realised this is the first time I've laid down a comprehensive list of all the careers in Mud, Blood & Rats. Well here they are:

So ADVANCED FANTASY made Silver best seller without me realising. Fantastic news as ever - link to both the free and complete editions below.

Announcing my new game - Mud, Blood & Rats! A grim and grubby fantasy about playing rat catchers, gong famers and other general gribs and freaks. Check it out below.

Test model for my unit of empire knights.

The hobby desk is very much full right now...
Hope you enjoyed the UK - we've had proper old Albion weather the past week or so. I could hear the chanting from the crannogs...
RPG Tip: Recycle unused plot hooks, NPCs, or maps later; players will never know they were leftovers and it can save you the legwork of having to make it from scratch.

RPG Tip: Share narrative control—invite players to describe details or outcomes to keep them invested and to ease your load as the game master at the table.

I talk about why you as the DM need to advocate for your own campaign.

RPG Tip: Adjust challenge mid-game: soften encounters if players struggle, or escalate if they’re breezing through. Don't be rigid.

Ah man, what a game that is! I've remade the entirety of the 1995 Warhammer Quest game before, so I feel both your anxiety and your enthusiasm!
I have become mildly obsessed with trying to recreate the 1994 #wh40k space marines using modern parts. Left is the original model, right is the digital conversion. Can't wait to crack out some old school marines.
#warhammer #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity
Lots of frustrated squinting 😆
And today I painted a stand of wood elves for Warmaster, the oop #warhammer game. Amazing stuff. So tiny.
#wh40k #ttrpg
The whole unit
Had a blast painting these classic 2nd edition space marines for #wh40k today. These simpler, older sculpts are full of such character and are a joy to paint.

Listen to me talk through the two different ways of running #dnd campaigns. I enjoyed this one.

I review the classic #dcc module, The Croaking Fane. This has to be my favourite dungeon for sheer absurdity of tone.

Just posted: The series on WFRP 1 Easter eggs looks at Flame's Lichemaster adventure.

Huge thanks for posting this Graeme - I really wanted you to talk about Lichemaster after your previous TEW posts. I'm currently running this! I wonder, was it a faff to convert what was essentially a wargame campaign into something useable in WFRP?
Not really my place to say, but seriously - I love your work Jason: I'm glad for all the design you've done and admire how you're pretty determined to push the medium forward. I'd just ignore this reductionist nonsense - water off a duck's back.
RPG Tip: In moments of low energy surprisingly declare to the players 'Oh wait, hold on, lemme just check something!' then flip through the rulebook looking perturbed. After a few moments, smile, close the book declare 'ah... nothing...' and then ask for the next action.

This week's video is certainly raking over old ground. But it's good ground.

RPG Tip: Make cute chirping noises for horrible creatures like spiders, scorpions and mimics. The party will immediately adopt them every time.
