The version we’re on about is the original one, which is Tails of Equestria. That’s out of print now, although you can pick it up second hand, the newer version is by Renegade games. Not played that version so I don’t know if it’s the same system or not!
Having watched all of Friendship is Magic more times than I care to count with my daughter, it’s legit brilliant. Picked up the RPG after you mentioned it a while back and you’re right, it’s EXCELLENT.
Oh no! On the plus side, if you live there you don’t have to brave the horrors of getting home afterwards, getting the train back to Shinjuku where we were staying was the most insane thing ever. They literally had staff shoving people into carriages 😂
As a country there’s very much a sense that you do certain jobs because it’s a calling and that you shouldn’t complain if the pay’s shit. All it does though is lead to burnout and crap morale. Being a school governor over the last four years has been a real eye opener.
Very much so! There was a very interesting set of research done into school governance a while back that talked a lot about many of the issues and actually made some sensible recommendations, but of course none of the meaningful stuff ever got actioned.
A shocking amount of stuff already does rely on free labour. School governance is one example that genuinely boggles my mind. The amount of responsibility school governors are expected to shoulder, in their spare time, is quite eye opening.
To everyone dealing with cancer and going through treatment, I’m thinking of you, and I hope it goes well for you. That shit is TOUGH. Know that things can and will get better and you can go on to do things you never thought you would.
I really wish they helped cancer patients deal with this stuff more. I’ve got through mainly on the iron willpower I developed from ultra running and the stoicism I picked up from having cancer in the first place. But damn it’s tough.
Especially the ones who left families behind. I’m coming up on 20 years all clear, which given I was given spectacularly shitty odds of survival when I was diagnosed with stage IVB Cancer is an amazing thing that I’m grateful for every day. But damn it, why couldn’t my friends still be here too?
They were all wonderful people, and it still upsets me to this day. What makes me special, why am I still here, when my friends are dead? I will NEVER stop feeling bad about it. I’m very glad I’m still around, but at the same time I’d give ANYTHING for my friends to still be here.
Watching Infinity War with my family and had a discussion about Chadwick Boseman with my daughter. One of the things they never really discuss with cancer patients is survivors guilt. I’m pretty old now, at this point I’ve lost a LOT of friends to this shitty disease
infestuk.com/charity/ I’m super proud of the music festival I work at, we do a lot of charity stuff over the weekend, and since 2012 we’ve raised over 83 GRAND for good causes, thanks to our very generous festival goers.
