Content We Liked: 26th October, 2025

Although it’s a big internet out there, the Tabletop digital universe is pretty small and spread out. In Content We Liked, we take a look at the articles, videos, podcasts, and products that caught our eyes or were noteworthy during the prior week you might have missed.

On the Internet at Large

Starting this mid-Autumnal CWL off on a whimsical note, as we highlight the work of David Bird and his delightful Becorns, lil' faefolk figures built from plant matter such as flowers, twigs and acorns. David's creations are such a delight, and in the video linked David goes into the challenges in working with an all natural medium. Its a fantastic watch and we cannot recommend you follow his work enough.

Mogsymakes' 12th Century Castle Gate

Continuing on with a miniature woodworking theme we have this hand-crafted miniature castle door from Mogsymakes on Bluesky. Drawing inspiration from real surviving examples from the era, our fingers empathetically cramp up thinking at how long it took to build the lattice design, but its so worth it adding a bit of historically accurate flair to a terrain build.

fossilpainting's Iron Warrior Legionaire

From one side of a siege to the other side for our next entry, with this Iron Warrior from fossilpainting on Tumblr. If you asked us to draw the platonic ideal of an Iron Warrior, this would be it, nailing the grimly pragmatic aesthetic of the sons of Olympia with a Horus Heresy Mk2 trooper as the base, adding in some 41st millennium Chaotic flourishes with the spikes and the nest of tubing around the helmet. Superbly grim and dark.

We couldn't let a CWL article go by without including something Weird, so lets give it up for this Chaos Automaton from manyworldsminiatures, looking like it stomped right out of a Rogue Trader margin with its extremely 80's British Sci-fi design, the gothic weirdness of the face plate, and the gross, oozy grime from its oils-based paintjob, the last one giving it such a tactile layer of depth you can feel creeping onto your fingertips through the screen. We love it.

Games from the Crypt continues its delve into the boardgame catacombs with a look at the original dungeon crawler Heroquest, musing on where it got so much right the first time around that its Kickstarter haunting spiritual decedents don't quite grasp.

Magic: the Gathering Hot Take: Commander Brackets Update

Wizards and the Commander Rules Committee released the first update to the new Brackets system since its introduction earlier this year, and its a controversial one to be sure. Our Planeswalkers give their two mana rocks on the subject.

Century of the Vampire: Twilight: New Moon (2009)

Bernhardt continues through the Twilight Film saga with 2009's New Moon, the second entry staggering along with introducing the series' infamous love triangle and having the strange choice to have all its Vampires vanish for most of the run time.
