We’re more than half way through February and 2026 is largely looking like a similar version of 2025 but on shit-steroids, with the usual players doing their things. Any hope that the situation(s) around the world may improve are in the toilet. I suppose it was a vain hope, and there’s nothing wrong with having a positive outlook, but as a wise man once said, “a shit-leopard doesn’t change its spots.”

Entropic State Report 16th February 2026
Just now

My dear Patrons, bemused onlookers and distracted passers-by,

We’re more than half way through February and 2026 is largely looking like a similar version of 2025 but on shit-steroids, with the usual players doing their things. Any hope that the situation(s) around the world may improve are in the toilet. I suppose it was a vain hope, and there’s nothing wrong with having a positive outlook, but as a wise man once said, “a shit-leopard doesn’t change its spots.”


Fortunately, we have fun things to say and do and we’ve had a fairly productive January and February so far, in spite of certain issues or, perhaps, because of them. We’ve kept a decent episode release pace and we still have two in the bank (watch out for a new episode this week). Furthermore, the venue for Rolling in the Ruins, our Moorcockian RPG get-together in June, is now booked. I’m absolutely delighted that people have an appetite for this, so much so that we’re going with two dates. Magic!

I’ll be looking for GM submissions in March so I can get the games locked in on WarHorn, so watch this space.

As you can see above, we already have a banner, I have the mugs designed and ready to go… and even t-shirts will be available for those that like a wearable souvenir of their events.

It’s all very exciting.

And so is the coming podcast itinerary!

Up next, THE ROBOT BRAINS! This was a recommendation from Cold War academic and games designer Malcolm Craig. We had a great time with it.

Then, Warlord of the Air Part Two. Spoiler – there will be a Part Three.

That accounts for the shows we have in the can, but pending recordings will return us to the worlds of Shaun Hutson’s Slugs, Karl Edward Wagner’s Kane, conclude our coverage of The Ice Schooner, get fucked up with The Opimun General and make our first ever foray into the urban horror of Ramsey Campbell with The Doll Who Ate His Mother, one of my most prized of the books I got from Pops back in the 80s.

That should keep us busy for a while and, undoubtedly, some other things will cross our eyelines in the meantime.

Thats about it for this report, but more details will emerge on Rolling in the Ruins as they develop. For now, I can confirm the dates as June 6th and June 20th. The venue will be The Ginger Goose in Bradford. Until I get it in WarHorn, if you want to attend either or both of those dates then do drop me a line and I’ll pop you on my spreadsheet. The same applies if you have any questions about the event.

Take care out there folks.
