My original idea for a podcast was that id follow the history of late 80s GW using the white dwarf letters page because they were so full of rage. Here's a classic of the genre, from the era of the Ansell take over, of Marc Gascoigne telling a customer he's a stupid idiot.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Christmas Ident Calendar Day 13. The 1st Christmas for BBC2's iconic '2' in 1991. Based on Georges Méliès classic 1902 silent film 'Le Voyage dans la Lune' aka 'A Trip To The Moon'. This is my favourite '2' era Christmas ident. Was blown away the moment I saw it. STUNNING!

A reminder there’s about a day left of @drivethrurpg.com’s site wide sale & you can pick up our new issue for just over £2 or get all 7 issues for roughly a third of the price I just paid for a burger at a Christmas market that I suspect I may see again soon 😑

Ghost In The Machine
Intrigued by the idea of a post-apocalyptic game that offers up a slightly more optimistic view of life after the fall John Power caught up with the team behind expansive and ambitious new RPG Dreams ...

James Cameron on how close he came to directing 1993’s Jurassic Park & what he thinks of Steven Spielberg’s adaptation. I love this for the honesty, modesty & graciousness of Cameron’s reflections. (It’s from the latest edition of the estimable Empire magazine.)

Ok, so the Traveller 5e news is… well it’s whatever. Not really worth getting too exercised about I’d say about BUT thanks to looking up previous d20 iterations of Traveller my life has been #blessed to discover what may be hands down the single greatest piece of RPG art I’ve ever seen.
