Sadly, our fingerguide could not save us from The Horrors, the Consequences, and the Ramifications.
We're now going into the final act of Impossible Landscapes and aahh, aaahhhhhhh, AAAAHHHHHHHHH

Pardon me, my colleagues and I are off to explore the basement of a hotel in a twisted version of 1920s New York using my previously severed finger as a guide.

I was lucky enough to play this with the creator as our GM & the vibes were so good. Weird moon, creepy temple, corrupted priestess, bloody combat - all in that delicious OSR flavour I love so much.
We played over at @euphoriaap.bsky.social - check it out!

Wore a blazer with shoulder pads to work once and was called David Byrne for a week.
I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

This is something really special! (And not just because I'm in it hehe)
Episode is 7 is our first (and only) English-only episode and features the talents of @miesterhypester.bsky.social @tallnerdapollo.bsky.social and @lesbyearning.bsky.social doing their best to mess with DM/God @amaanhk.bsky.social
The finale is fast approaching, and you don't want to miss this!

3 players + GM is the perfect setup for me. 4 players is also fun. More than that is a crowd.
(Sometimes crowds are fun if managed well. Mostly they are stressful and you have to wait around a lot.)

As someone who enjoys actual play and watching actual play streams, I'm begging and pleading you to feel the winds of progress shifting and to finally stand up and say,
"Stop putting six to eight people in your actual place streams, charity or otherwise."

Been crying out for an app that supports Irish language learning lately (that ISN'T bloody Duolingo), so I'm excited to give this a go. 💚
Dia dhaoibh a chairde!
We are Sionnach. We are in the process of building an app to help anyone learn whichever of the 3 main dialects of Irish they choose.
We would love for everyone from new learners to native speakers to try it out and let us know what you think!

Planning a trip home to Ireland in December and GOOD GOD I'm practically giggling and teeheeing and kicking my feet at the prospect of sinking my teeth into a lovely jambon.
And also seeing the sea again. And hearing my own accent around me again. And having a lovely scoop of Guinness with my pals.

Just finished Florence + the Machine's new album, Everybody Scream.
No I'm not crying. You're the one crying. Yeah, yeah, I'll get up off the floor eventually, leave me alone.

Happy early Hallowe'en!
In this house, practising self-care means finally getting around to your Joan of Arc cosplay. I really love how it turned out.
(I'll also happily accept comparisons to Celestine, the Living Saint.)

Absolutely brutal day for low self-esteem and feelings of being a failure, fellas.
At least I didn't fuck up a big pot of chilli. Small victories, I suppose.
But still. Christ. Bad one.

It really is very easy.
If you notice that your table lacks diversity, just say it. Do something about it. Recommend people you know or know of.
If you can't think of anyone, then the call is kinda coming from inside the house and you should make some better friends.

In 2026, we hope to see more actual play groups commit to ensuring that their shows include more and multiple POC performers at their tables.
It is not hard, in fact it has never been easier to reach out to and work with some of the most amazing and talented performers you can hope to find.

The Dreenan Figure • Boa Island • Fermanagh
The larger of the two enigmatic idols on Boa Island, the Dreenan Figure is two-sided, with depictions of a bearded figure on both sides.
While the depictions are not identical, they both show an oval-faced, bearded man with large, almond-shaped eyes.

The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election.
Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state

Haigh, Bluesky people who live in my phone.
I'm on the lookout for VA professionals who can do (paid) mentoring. I have that unfortunate condition of not knowing what I'm good at, so it'd be nice to sit down with someone who knows the ropes and can offer guidance.
If this is you, drop me a line.
