I’m exploring some Bluesky features and will be curating a list of our Black Library authors. Will be an ongoing WIP as I find more or more join. 🤘

Does Axis & Allies count?

First tabletop wargame? 40k Rogue Trader. What a book that was. A real work of imagination before the 40k universe had solidified.

(Let's not dwell on the actual rules, though. Thankfully 2nd ed came out not long after I started playing).

Warhammer 40,000 1st edition "Rogue Trader" rulebook.

It's a bonus for me, as I've yet to read any of these books but have had Yarrick omnis on my 'hunt list' for a wee while now.

Thanks so much for the signal boost, Graham! As much as I love my #BlackLibrary, I love just as much to see what fruits of other gardens come from those imaginations too!

You want to see a time-lapse video of our ultra-talented artist,
@ricardojaime.bsky.social doing the cover for Wolves of Winter? Of course you do, so here it is!

Dear @dkbooks.bsky.social

Getting a book about #Warhammer is cool.

Getting a bonus mini is cool.

Having half the book’s depth taken up by hollow air is…not.

I’m not a fan of this kind of packaging strategy, and would gladly have paid the same for a non-mini version. #feedback

I’m not sure what stage of Warhammering one is in when one just starts finding the occasional random piece around the house, but it’s definitely to the far side of the saturation point.

Extremely excited to note that this week my Lore Friday review for @goonhammer won't be a #BlackLibrary book after all, but rather something from a notable BL wordsmith for @aconytebooks.bsky.social instead.

Not hard to guess if you scroll my last few posts. 😄

Aaand scene! I actually finished this on the airplane yesterday. Daidoji Shin was wonderful company on my “vacation” to Florida.

And yes, a @goonhammer.com review is coming! 🤘

This takes the cake for most unique preorder I’ve ever managed.

Successfully executed while aboard an American Airlines plane in the skies approaching DC. 🤘
