The Black Scorpion 1957 film Atomic Horror Adapted To The Barrows & Borderland Rpg

Swords & Stitchery - Sun, 06/21/2026 - 23:55
 Adapting Edward Ludwig’s 1957 atomic-horror classic The Black Scorpion for Barrows & Borderlands means merging 1950s creature-feature panic with a dark, radioactive fantasy frontier.Rather than treating the monsters as generic giant bugs, we preserve the film’s unique surreal atmosphere—inspired by Willis O'Brien's jerky, nightmare-inducing stop-motion animation—and weave them into the Needleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

Big Finish Day 2027

Blogtor Who - Sun, 06/21/2026 - 20:00
Big Finish Day, in association with DWAS, takes place on Saturday, 17 April 2027 at POSK London

Big Finish Productions have announced the date and location for the next Big Finish Day. The next one day convention celebrating the worlds of Doctor Who on audio will take place at POSK in London on the 17th of April next year. Tickets are now available for what will almost certainly be the biggest event in the Big Finish calendar. Not only will the team be celebrating all things audio drama, but the event will be full of special guests from all your favourite adventures.

Big Finish Day 2027 is in association with the Doctor Who Appreciation Society. DWAS are organizers of the renowned annual convention The Capitol. They’re also the UK’s longest running Doctor Who fan organization.. It will bring listeners of the legendary audio dramas and audiobooks together with the creators who make them. The new venue for 2027 will be the Polish Social & Cultural Association in Hammersmith, London W6 0RF. Together, Big Finish and DWAS promise the day will be fantastic fun.

As well as opportunities to meet, greet and quiz the people behind the Doctor Who audio adventures, and other Big Finish ranges, there will be interview panels, autograph sessions, and a photo studio.

The guest list for the event isn’t out yet, but previous years have reliably presented a line-up of stars for every corner of the Big Finish universe. It’s also well known for its relaxed atmosphere. So it’s sure to be a good time for all.

This year, the event is themed as Daleks vs Cybermen, with an action-packed programme celebrating two of Doctor Who’s most iconic adversaries. As ever, guests will be able to pick up new releases and special offers at the Big Finish stall.

There are only 300 tickets in total and are only for sale through the Eventbrite ticket site here.

An Interview with Axel6748: Gamer and Shadowdark Content Designer

Stargazer's World - Sun, 06/21/2026 - 11:00

You meet new people every day! The efforts to re-engage with the gaming community—both locally in Puerto Rico and the larger online sphere—for my 40th anniversary as a gamer have been incredibly rewarding. It has ranged from reconnecting with old friends to meeting completely new people, some of whom live right here in Puerto Rico but whom I had never met before.

Such is the case with the subject of today’s interview. Axel6748 contacted me through my Bluesky account (‪@sunglar.bsky.social), and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know them and seeing the content they are publishing for Shadowdark. When I announced I was looking for Puerto Rican creators working in the TTRPG space or related endeavors, Axel6748 kindly reached out. I am incredibly thankful for their time and kindness!

Introduce yourself! Who are you and what do you create?

I do keep my real-life identity anonymous, but I go by Axel6748 online, and I am a Puerto Rican tabletop role-player and Game Master. Lately, I have been working on Shadowdark content for a free monthly zine called The Menu.

In the future, I hope to start a blog to talk about TTRPGs, Anime, Indie Games, and other Nerd/Geek topics, as well as self-publish my own material and supplements for Shadowdark and whatever tabletop system I like and find passion for.

How would you describe your art or creative endeavor?

My creative process is whatever sparks my interest. Sometimes I want to create a theme because I have an idea in my head, and I like to use random tables and word banks to generate ideas for adventures, modules, or classes.

How did you discover TTRPGs?

Man, how did I discover TTRPGs? Well, mainly through pop culture growing up, such as cartoons, and my cousin playing 3.5e D&D. However, I really got into 5th Edition around 2016 to 2017. I was originally going to play 4th Edition, but the game sadly never happened. That led me to learn 5e and meet wonderful people!

Do you actively play TTRPGs? What are you playing?

I have been playing 5e D&D as well as Shadowdark; d20 dragon fantasy games are my comfort zone.

What do you want to play next?

I want to try out some of the lesser-known systems, such as Goblinz by The Ugly Goblin, Tactiquest by level2janitor, Trespasser by tundalus, and a few others. I also want to try bigger systems like Draw Steel (specifically that Night Shift Demon Division 3rd-party supplement).

What projects are available, and what are you working on next?

As of now, I only have one free class on my Itch.io page called The Bravero, and I’m working on The Menu. I’ve released 3 Adventures (one B/X compatible, two Shadowdark) and a few Shadowdark classes.

Where can people get your projects?

You can find my stuff on my Itch.io page, my Bluesky, and my upcoming Tumblr Blog (and possibly Substack too) via my Carrd!

Thank you, Axel6748! Be sure to check out the links provided to explore their content. See you all next Sunday!

Building The Red Planet Empire - Mixing Warriors of the Red Planet (WotRP) with the Domain-level Architecture of ACKS II Rpg - How ACKS II market rules handle selling forbidden or ancient technology in a standard planetary romance city-state, including...

Swords & Stitchery - Sat, 06/20/2026 - 19:13
 In ACKS II, commerce isn’t just a background transaction; it is a mechanical pillar driven by the Market Class of a settlement. When your players roll into a high-tech, insular Sword and Planet city-state (a Jeddakate) looking to liquidate ancient artifacts, high-grade radium, or forbidden bio-serums, the transaction is governed by supply, legality, and the reach of the local ruler's secretNeedleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

Survive This!! Vigilante City & New Flesh Rpg = Survive This New Flesh City Campaign Part III

Swords & Stitchery - Fri, 06/19/2026 - 19:01
 Smashing the 1990s comic book energy of Survive This!! Vigilante City into the grimy, transgressive biopunk landscape of Red Room’s New Flesh creates a stark, unsettling tone. You are essentially taking the vibrant Saturday morning cartoon tropes of X-Men, Spider-Man, and TMNT and dragging them through a David Cronenberg and William S. Burroughs meat grinder.In this campaign frame, the Needleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

The Heart of the Nhaga

Sorcerer's Skull - Fri, 06/19/2026 - 11:00


I've been listening to the audiobook of The Bird That Drinks Tears, the first book in the epic fantasy series Heart of the Nhaga by Korean author Lee Youngdo. The book was written in 2003, but this is the first time it has been translated into English. I'm only about a third of the way through, but I've been enjoying it so far.

In a world divided into the northern and southern realms by the Line of Limit, band of three individuals from the north, representative of the three races of that region, must go into the jungles of the south, the sole domain of the fourth race, to bring a member of that race (because, as an oft repeated adage says: "three handle one") back to an ancient temple for...well, as far as I've gotten, that hasn't been explained, but I'm sure it's world-saving stuff

One of the things I've liked about the series so far is the world-building. There are gigantic skyrays with ruins of a forgotten civilization on their backs, and dragons that are part plant, part animal, but the four races are one of the most interesting aspects. 

In the north, there are humans, of course, which are more fractious than other races, but also more numerous. They don't seem to have a nation-states or empires now (indeed, no one in the north seems to now) but they once did.

The Rekon are giant, avian humanoids. Most of the art I have seen depicts like humanoid roosters, which fits, I guess. They are immensely strong and skilled warriors and craftsmen. Each Rekon has an individual Calling, a life's work they strive to achieve.

The Tokkebi are sort of goblinish (though maybe not short like typical goblins), certainly mischievous and magical. They are able to control fire and create illusions from it. They are nonviolent but have no fear of death because if their body is killed, they continue on as spirits.

In the South live the Nhaga who have gotten the most detail so far. They are cold-blooded, reptilian humanoids who are fierce defenders of the trees of the first and only eat live prey. Their hearing is poor, but they see heat and talk to each other by a sort of telepathy called nireum. At the age of majority, they have their hearts removed and so become nearly immortal and hard to kill as they can regenerate. Nhaga society is divided into matriarchal houses where adult men are only ever visitors to help the women conceive children.

Anyway, it's been good so far. Interested to see where it goes.

Can Adventurer, Conqueror, King Rpg Second Edition Rpg be used with original Dungeons & Dragons rpg ?!

Swords & Stitchery - Fri, 06/19/2026 - 03:57
 Yes, absolutely. In fact, Adventurer Conqueror King System II (ACKS II) and Original Dungeons & Dragons (OD&D) share the exact same mechanical DNA.Because ACKS II is built on the foundation of the classic Basic/Expert (B/X) tradition—which itself was a direct stream-lining and evolution of OD&D—the two systems are highly compatible. You can easily lift elements from one and dropNeedleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0
