Thanks for subscribing Sam! And the EDGE comparison is spot on - that was always our go-to video-game mag.

I accidentally made a still life of the board game graphic designer's life.

Oh dear… But thanks Greg! We hope the new T fits better! (And your ‘small’ friend enjoys theirs!)

When I got said shirt in the mail from @senetmagazine.bsky.social, I realized I mistakenly ordered a SMALL when I am most definitely not a small person.

So I ordered a LARGE. And will be gifting the small to someone at work.

Finally @senetmagazine.bsky.social is here. My favorite magazine and my favorite street here in my twon

A paseway. The wall on your left is made white and the right one is made of bricks with an ivy. In the middle I am holding the Senet magazine and in the background you can see an ancient bell tower

Warhammer paint or Makeup palette?

Can you tell which colors are official Warhammer paint names, and which are eye shadows from my girlfriend's makeup bag?

Just got round to reading @mattthr.bsky.social ‘s piece on Lovecraft in boardgames for @senetmagazine.bsky.social and it was excellently done. Senet keeps on being such a great place for long-form pieces like this.
