Here's something really neat: @jamestkelly.bsky.social wrote an article using my Lamenters Battlecry video as a springboard to talk about misinformation.
It says nice things about me so it must be correct!

What toy soldiers teach us about misinformation - James T Kelly
Misinformation is a serious problem when trying to decide what's true. But a Warhammer YouTuber has turned up the answer.

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

Saying that you can become a wizard of many colours is the wizard equivalent of spending your life savings on NFTs.

The answer is of course that the unseelie are open source whilst the seelie ruthlessly pursue copyright infringement.
“Are the fae open source?” is such a terrifying question in so many ways.

Has there ever been an underwater skirmish game? You cant fall, you can sink, you can run out of air.
currently, I'll be honest, I'm not sure how to market these but they were so brilliant I had to add them to the catalogue

Brilliant bit of academic writing on a 1980s ttrpg
Hurrah! My article on the Twilight 2000 RPG in the Journal of American Studies is now open access (OA), so anyone who wants to can have a read. OA is important to me, as I want my work on RPG history to go beyond the academy and reach the gaming public.

Because I first encountered this sort of art in the John Bolton illustrated Lets Play Chess book. I often look at sword and sorcery stuff like this and my first thought is "So what is this teaching me about chess?"
I learnt nothing about chess from this book- the drawings are too good.

The first John Wick uses a great storytelling tool: “I gave him an impossible task...the bodies he buried that night are the foundation of what we are now."
You don't have to tell me what that is. It's better left unsaid.
Do this while running games.

This is great.
Not least because its the antithesis of the "are there any Jewish wizards at Hogwarts?- yes, Anthony Goldstein of Ravenclaw" approach.

This Reddit AMA interview with Witcher creator Andrzej Sapkowski is very funny, because you have a ton of people who want to ask (not necessarily bad!) fandom-brained questions running directly into the buzzsaw of a man who refuses to answer that kind of thing

Good luck working out why i hate some warhammer things and love others computer.
On this side of things, I worry it won’t know WHY I disliked a thing. Is it any more useful that mute post?
Did I dislike a post about a media property because I disliked that specific media property? Because if depicted a trigger? Because I hate an actor? Because I was sick of genre?
