Thankfully Rhianna Pratchett goes deep into Lambton Worm territory (County Durham), a symbol of duty - from terrorising lazy godless aristocrats to the anti-Tory Liberal politics of Radical Jack.

Morning Listening: In Our Time, Dragons. Oddly hollow recount of Chinese and Medieval dragon history. No insight into gaming #dnd, #fantasy literature other than Tolkien as a children's writer (no #GoT), folklore (Lambton Worm) or #Jungian psychobabble (chaos mother).

Fourteen of twenty films.

Ubu Roi, Dunbar (1978)

Watch Ubu - BFI Player

Farting and swearing and violence – oh my! Albert Jarry’s controversial play translates beautifully to splattered inks in Geoff Dunbar’s award-winning animation.

Hyborian Portrait - Valannus the Unspeakable, from Slingshot #42 (1972) by D. Gates - of or named after a R.E.H. character? Unfortunately the SoA Slingshot index PDF doesn't list illustrators, but could be the same hand as the G&P illustration, certainly some Ambrus influence there.

Our fan-favourite fantasy large skirmish wargame is back, bigger and better than ever. We couldn't be prouder to announce...

The cover of Dragon Rampant: Fantasy Wargaming Rules: Second Edition, by Daniel Mersey and illustrated by Alan Lathwell and David Needham. The cover art depicts a battle raging between an army of orcs and human barbarians, as a red dragon swoops in low overhead unleashing a blast of fire.

Digging these midcentury style , cartoon moderne, Bill Peet-esque #vintage #goblin #paperminis from 1969. Groovy!

Designed to be stood up and shot down with an elastic-band catapult gun - I'm sure H.G. Wells would approve - and distributed as a halloween greetings card.

Wow! That's remarkably similar to Tony Acklands piece in the Fiend Folio (1981).

Why, yes, that is a vintage 1st Edition Blood Bowl board. Although Jervis's folk-football focused rewrite of Warhammer, Leesons surprisingly political Grange Hill novels, Bitmap Bros Speedball and ofc Jewisons Rollerball will get added in the next official update!

Although being a Disney property, with modern cinematography and all that, Nell also works as a be-forested entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean extended universe.

Wainwright adding folkloric, supernatural and occult themes into Renegade Nell's Highwayman seems haunted by what Richard Carpenter did with Robin of Sherwood, but didn't really with his own Highwayman series Dick Turpin.
