The Art of Ian Miller: Studies in Transmogrification

‘Twitch once, Miller and you are king of the heap.

Twitch twice and you’re inconsolably lost.

Carry on and remember the twitch’

Last year as part of our Jagged Visions series, I wrote a gushing account of my personal experiences with Ian Millers work.  Shortly after, Titan Books contacted me to say they’d read the piece and would I be interested in taking a look at a retrospective volume of Ian’s work that they had recently published. Naturally I leapt at the opportunity and given my current obsession with surfing the Fighting Fantasy zeitgeist, it seemed an appropriate time to post this review of a man who’s cover to House Of Hell caused me many sleepless nights all those years ago.

Four new songs from the South Easts Feeding Chain and once again they don’t disappoint.

Corehammer Single Figure Challenge: July 2014

It’s that time of the month again where we turn our baleful gaze upon the hobby progress of our steadily growing Corehammer Community. It has been really pleasing to see so many submissions from outside of our regular rogues gallery, so please keep on sending them in!

I have said it many times before but it bares repeating, the Single Figure Challenge is not a dick-swinging contest. It’s a hobby progress update, and an opportunity to show what you’ve been working on. Our readers are encouraged to leave thoughts, suggestions and constructive critique in the comments section below as well as a vote for the monthly winner. As of next month, the winner will be receiving a small prize (probably a CH shirt or something similar) to go along with the fawning adulation of their peers.

If you are a Facebook user, please go join our group and get involved with the community building on there. You can also join us on Instagram or tag us in your mini pics by using the hashtag #corehammer ,or look us up on Twitter. I should warn you however to be prepared for the barrage of righteous indignation & outrageous proclamations that is part and parcel of that particular aspect of our social media presence! Thats enough of my old rattle, I’ll hand you over to Chris to get down to business:

An event solely dedicated to the zealous and joyful celebration of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstones wonderful creation. I have spouted frequently and fondly about my deep and abiding love for these books, the worlds they created and the doors they opened for me and a whole generation of lonely misfits and smart arses who didn’t have enough mates to play Dungeons & Dragons with….
