Thatβs sick!
A book called "UFO Flying Saucers" depicts several red flying saucers shooting lasers at two men running away from a car.
Working with some incredible Black artists for a thing (stay tuned), and having a ball coming up with inspiration for cover art. @timaeusbloom.bsky.social found this one.

Our issues feature more than just great stories. We also love including gorgeous illustrations. This one is by Asya Yordanova, and it accompanies @timaeusbloom.bsky.social 's weird and hilarious "Bugmen and Proud of It," from issue #0 of Goblins & Galaxies.

Wide black and white illustration by Morelock aka @morelockarts.bsky.social. It shows a sequence of events from left to write, stretched over many years, where authors write stories which children then read, then when they're older they bring their own interpretation of what they read into their games, then one of their players takes their interpretation of that into writing a book of their own, and then a whole new generation reads that book and so on...
βοΈAh, the long conversation between S&S fiction and gaming!π²

@sageittarius.bsky.social knocked it out of the park. One of my favorite stories Iβve written.
Excited for ya.
The Robert E. Howard House & Museum in Cross Plains, TX is in need of imminent repair work to its foundations, as well as moisture and termite damage. If you can afford to give a little to help keep this bit of pulp history alive, it would be appreciated.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.
Certainly. It's fantastic.
