I promised myself I’d work on some of my own projects while freelancing this time around, so with that in mind, here’s THE 13 DEMONS OF AKUMA SAIZO.

A 28 page adventure for RONIN. By me. For you.
Hope you like it. :-)

More Ron Moore AOL fan interactions from the 90s.

The first one deals with fan entitlement - the delusion that every true fan believes as they do and that they have ownership over the show because they care so much.

It is always reassuring to know that our tram station is guarded by Metrotron the giant robot.

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not.

He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions.

Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes."

With the airwaves filled with the Stone Roses after Mani passed away last week, I dug out a photo of my dog Sally, full name Sally Cinnamon. Seen on the right in the photo below, next to Merlin. I can still hear the sound of them playing looking at this photo. Ah I miss these two a lot. 😍

She was supposed to be a Christmas Cactus, but it turns out that Frida is a Birthday Cactus - she started flowering on my birthday a week or so ago and is still going strong. 😍

What's your favourite gif? I might use others more often but this is probably my favourite. The loop is perfect.

Watching 1883, which I am enjoying immensely, so naturally I have now ordered Tales of the Old West from @effektpodcast.org 😊

To anyone who has the Alien Evolved RPG core rulebook: have rules for Suppression and Knockback been removed completely or am I missing it? These may be the only things that were keeping my group alive when I ran the Colonial Marines campaign. 🤣

Ash rocked last night. Last time I saw them was 1998. This time I was not down the front, I watched from the back, leaning at the access area, hepped up on painkillers. 🤘

Me: Obviously Lois Lane would be Miss Piggy in Muppet Superman. Kermit should be Clark Kent but *NOT* Superman. Superman is Henry Cavill and looking like a frog is just him acting meek
