New GI Joe figure by Super7 up for preorder, including a character I've never heard of
I love their commitment to making, not just versions of characters that never received a figure, but characters that never received a figure. The new batch includes a glow-in-the-dark irradiated Snake-Eyes, cold weather Scarlett with a Geiger counter, and Mara, a genetically modified Cobra Eel test subject.
Today's news and jokes
(I didn't see the mural mentioned on the restaurant's social media pages. High-res of this, and an additional mural.)This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

"The 25 Best Hallmark Christmas Movies, Ranked"
The #2 on the list includes Jonathan Frakes and Robert Picardo in the cast. Here's a totally different list posted in response--it includes a Hannukah-themed movie about two attractive people who "realize that they are actually competing delicatessen owners." Also:
New addition to Hallmark’s holiday calendar: A special built around its in-person Hallmark Experience event featuring several Hallmark vets, musical performances—and Lacey Chabert announcing her 2026 CTC movie.

Free Warhammer 40K TTRPG focusing on servants
I keep trying to write fan TTRPGs for 40K.
The first was Paper Route, also set on a giant flying cathedral of a spaceship. I never finished it. It was called “Paper Route” because the ship was cargo hauler, transporting a planet’s worth of office paper. There were orks with origami guns, and paper-wasp tyranids, and eldar scooped up alongside a whole forest.
Where my mind was at with Paper Route was: “40K should be funny.”
The second 40K TTRPG thing I made was for Kieron Gillen / Rowan Rook & Decard’s DIE RPG. It was an adventure called “POWERSWORD PURGATORY”—a bunch of 30-year-olds, former regulars at ye-olde-FLGS, get Jumanji-ed into POWERSWORD (ie: not-Warhammer 40K) for one last hurrah.
With “POWERSWORD” I was trying to work through how I felt about the fandom, and 40K’s place in culture now. Its drift from Thatcher-era DIY nihilism to corporate-IP neatness; its earnest embrace of “xenophobia is justified actually” power fantasies.
CHAPTER SERF is my third attempt. And my strongest, maybe?
