Writing a review of the 1986 MERP RPG system for the @nmtdrzine.bsky.social zine… it’s not scoring well and in places it makes Man Myth & Magic look good…

Being similar to @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social in losing my GM'ing mojo, I have 'paused' my huge campaign games and instead i'm running a series of small interconnected dungeon delves (Indiana Jones meets D&D), loving the 'back to basics' vibe

Our new lich queen comes in two flavours - with bone wand or flaming staff - and is always incensed that their proof-of-concept decentralized dungeon model allowing anyone to spin up their own instance has resulted in the wrong type of adventurers running around the place.

Coming soon!

variant model in red and black robes, carrying a horned staff in its right hand that holds two lit candles. the crown is gold in this case.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

Tonight! Goole Library at 7pm! Come and join me for a gentle evening of Haunted Generation strangeness - I'll even read you some of the Fighting Fantasy book I wrote when I was 11. It's only £7 on the door, and I'm really excited because I've never been to Goole before.

"It was darker, grittier and more like a caravan holiday in Skegness than a posh trip to Disney land, and we loved it."

This may be 'sacrilege' but I always believe GM'ing different/new players really helps

The question 'we' all want to know.... has @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social re-found his GM mojo yet?

Hi all. We are putting together a memorial video for @budsrpgreview.bsky.social and would love for folks to be part of it. It can be a short video reel, an audio note, some words to be read, or even just a photo, whatever feels right. If you’d like to join in, let me know and I’ll send more info.

Our billionaire king gets exemptions on capital gains tax, inheritance tax, corporation tax and more.

Next week we're bringing a vote to end the 100% tax break he gets when buying property in Scotland.

Power and privilege is no reason to avoid paying your fair share.

End the king's tax breaks. The text appears beside a photo of King Charles sitting on a throne wearing a crown,

A good friend died of cancer this weekend, too many of my friends are fighting battles against the big C and the least I can do is run my tubby body around a half marathon for cancer research, RIP Builder John you were one of a kind
