Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Let's talk Dark Future
Dark Future has been pretty much dead online besides the Future Highway's site (which seems to have gone inactive about a decade back).
Well, looks like a lot of the Oldhammer guys are into it now. Likely because the upcoming Mad Max flick.

* Cool setting (the novels by Kim Newman are great)
Agreed, loved those (Kim wrote as Jack Yeovil for GW). Great sense of humour. A lot of the references (tons throughout) went right over my head though. Secret agent Elvis!

Back in the late 90's and early 00's, I read quite a few warhammer novels. His Drachenfels was easily the best one. It also seemed to not do much with warhammer and felt like it could have been set almost anywhere. Great story though!
It led me to Anno Dracula which was also fantastic and I think did the literary character mash-up before League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I need to follow Anno Dracula up and find Bloody Red Baron.

Several are listed twice because there was a reissue about 10 years ago where GW (thru their Black Library division) updated the timelines of the stories. Originally, the setting took place in 1995.
Also, they contracted out some authors to write a few new novels. Not sure why. Anyway, haven't read the new ones.

Route 666 – Anthology (never reprinted and pretty rare)
Route 666
Demon Download
Krokodil Tears
Comeback Tour
Ghost Dancers
Golgotha Run
American Meat
Jade Dragon
Reality Bites
His Drachenfels sequels were also worthwhile, especially Beasts in Velvet (listed third in the reprinted series, but really the second chronologically and in the original publication order).
I never got around to reading Anno Dracula, but it does predate Moore's League by quite a few years (published in 92, League was 99 or so).

In the mid-2000s, Black Library was expanding with their Black Industries (RPGs, Talisman) and Black Flame (2000 AD novels, reprinted most of the old DF books as well) imprints, then tried their hand at original genre fiction with their Solaris imprint (relaunching Paul Kearney's career with the solid Ten Thousand novel and later trilogy). BI and BF folded, Solaris was sold off, BL is still going strong and making a killing with expensive premium limited edition books (mostly Horus Heresy stuff) and the digital market for short stories (it's only a couple of bucks at a time!).

Maybe I'll get around to reading them.

Outrider? Is that one of the Dark Future cars?
