Two bundles of translated material for the Brancalonia tabletop roleplaying campaign setting from Acheron Games (Milan, Italy) for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition and compatible systems. It's a "Spaghetti Italian" setting with an emphasis on rogues, humour, bawdy jokes, etc. and seems to be fairly popular. One is a repeat from 2024 containing the rules etc., the other is all-new supplementary material:

BRANCALONIA (from Nov 2024)

BRANCALONIA BOUNTY (new)

I don't think that there are any changes in the original bundle, but if there are anyone who previously bought it should get them free of charge. The other is all new.

Last time I said "On a quick look this seems to be well presented and reasonably faithful to its genre, and more honest than most RPGs when it comes to character motivation; they're in it for the loot etc.. It doesn't, unfortunately, have anything resembling a flying spaghetti monster in the monsters section, but you can't have everything. If you're interested in D&D I think it's worth checking it out."

The new material adds a lot more creatures, my favourite being demonic geese, and includes recipes for cooking them, but there is still no flying spaghetti monster. So it goes...

I was just looking out a couple of figures for a game and found one I'd forgotten - a 1986-ish Citadel model of Michael Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius in their short-lived Eternal Champions series. A bit old and battered, and I'm amazed at the amount of trouble I want to with the patterns on the trousers etc. Don't seem to own any of the others, but I was a much bigger fan of Cornelius than the fantasy characters in this range.
