Genuinely shocked and amazed to have won the award for Best Scenario for Resort at the Australian Industry Roleplaying Awards.

I am truly grateful to all the playtesters, my friend @johnnylogmar.bsky.social, the fine folks @chaosium.bsky.social and the TTRPG community for their support. 🙏

Ran @sdorward.bsky.social's Catland in our Curse of Nineveh campaign tonight. Most investigators use force or cunning to solve problems. Mine are using bureaucracy and have called an EGM of the Cat Fancier's Association to try and solve a bloody feud. Surely nothing can go wrong!

I'd recommend the novelisation of that particular AP of Orienta Express (published as The Express Diaries, written by Nick Marsh) - it's a great read.

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there
