It’s not quite ‘have someone come in with a gun’ but ‘if you’re not sure where a scene is going have a bunch of capitalist giants fight a crab’ is also a maxim to live by.

I think we're good for now, but will let you know. I think it's right if you GM you should get to play too.

Or, if you'd prefer and you don't use DMs in Bluesky for age validation reasons, just email me at breakfastruins at Outlook dot com or message me over on Discord.

That sounds f'kin ace.
No, no subs form, just suggested people DM me the deets, but popping them here is a fantastic ad for Rolling in the Ruins, so happy to C&P

Born on this day in 1945, Robert Newton Calvert... Like Peter Hammill, he saw 'rock music' differently, and believed it could explore both new worlds and dangerous visions.

Here's the first piece I wrote about him: www.daysoftheunderground.com/post/the-gua...

I had thought about theming them, but decided to just leave it to the GMs. So fill your boots!

@breakfastruins.bsky.social

LET'S GO

One of the Spirits Burning w/ Don Falcone Don Falcone returns to Derry & Toms to update us on his journey adapting The Dancers at the End of Time stories into a sprawling four-album suite and to talk about his epic musical memoir, One …

After a 5-year gap, a conjunction of the spheres finally allows us to catch up with multi-instrumentalist producer and heart of Spirits Burning @donfalcone.bsky.social about his musical memoir & the 6-year journey with Mike, Al Bouchard and many others to adapt the Dancers at the End of Time tales

“The memoir offers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at countless collaborations. Falcone—producer, multi-instrumentalist, and former tech writer—balances creativity with experimentation …”

Rob Halford of Judas Priest on Peter Hammill of Van Der Graaf Generator YouTube video by Rockin Pins

This is interesting... www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvFP... I love Halford and those early JP albums, but I'm absolutely certain he's been asked this before ;-)

I've always thought this track is pretty Hammill-esque... www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSF8... (ha, YT segued it into Too Many Of My Yesterdays!)

I'll work then into my 1 in 12 Club scenario for RitR

FFS Elric, put some pants on. Preferably gaudy silk pantaloons.

Doubtless there are some who will be delighted that I have continued down my 'TTRPGs and Cold War masculinity' rabbit hole in the short article I'll be submitting for the @historygamesnet.bsky.social 'Analogue' theme.

I've been flicking through the Hawkmoon monograph by Loz Whitaker this week. Some good stuff in there.

Backers are starting to get The Thunder Perfect Mind turn up! I'm also working on the first of a series of splatbook supplements: Terrestrial Court has more info on the Tethered Aeons along with standalone larp rules.

Mail day!
Timely, for a couple of reasons. One being that backing a @floaker.bsky.social KS is always a sure thing. The other... Well....

NUNA Playtest spotted in the wild!

We did The Rituals of Infinity (sort of). Just over FIVE years ago Kek!!! Where does the time go?

In his excellent newsletter @paulconstant.com says "Good Literature Should Fit in Your Pocket" and riffs on the death of Mass Market Lit. I agree! I'm trying to create small, affordable weird books that fit in yr pocket; fast pulpy fun reads like comics.

I'm thinking of going, its only 40mins on the train! Local con! Also I'm a bit of Moorcook fan :)

There are a few people on here that have expressed an interest in our Rolling in the Ruins RPG microcon in Bradford in June. Discord ses the best way to concentrate info and updates, so joining link is here:

Last night's film, IF....

Clearly still relevant to the UK. The burgeoning rage.

When you're a couple or three weeks out from releasing it, drop me a line and we'll get it on.
