One of the last books of 2025 - stumbling into another alternate-history without realising, three in a row. Incredibly dense and oblique beginning with diegetic future slang opens up to pretty fascinating and intricate almost-thriller. Elvis cults, Moby-Dick, Fisher-King, newspeak. Recommend.

Re-reading the 2012 reboot of PROPHET by Brandon Graham. Trying to 'out-Conan the current run of Conan' the series is such an amazing dense batch of ideas and imagery. Seems wild it doesn't seem to have a bigger footprint in the Swords & Sorcery (and Space) scene.

Good fun playing Troika! again today at Melsonian HQ. Cracks me up hearing people complain about the initiative system - went on to play a game of OD&D after, all I can think about is it really that different rolling a dice to picking a token?

BLOG POST - As I endeavour to create new Panic Tables for Stranger Stars, I dug deep into Mothership's existing Panic Table and reviewed each and every entry. What's good? What's bad? Can you really spend a whole post reviewing just one table? Let's find out: meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2025/12...

The Alteration - Kingsley Amis, 1979.
Interesting alt-history, propped up by the fascinating world building, even if the story is all a bit forced to resolution
