Lost my own dog not too long ago, it's remarkable how hard it hits you. She'd lived a good life with you two, if it's any comfort, and that made her a very lucky dog.

Taylor Swift announces next album title: The Queen in Yellow. She told Variety: "A few years back I came across this amazing play and I was so inspired. It's been living in my head for years. I even dream of it, of the city in the play."

A happy few hours was spent tonight guiding two new coaches through their first game of Blood Bowl. With any luck, the beautiful game might have spawned two new fanatics here...

Two promising new Blood Bowl coaches guide their Necromantic players through the grand strategy they've devised.

Golden Demon entry done! This "duel" is inspired by The Dance Without End, a play about the fall of the Eldar that Harlequin troupes perform. It ends with a Great Harlequin having a dance-off with a Solitaire playing Slaanesh. Here they're dancing on the ruins of the Eldar empire itself.

It's all these things, true, PLUS - it has some of the most interesting mechanics I've seen in an RPG. Well worth the pennies, people!

Full Send is about the beauty of nature, and how we pay dearly to master it.

It’s about the way that capitalism degrades the things we love.

It’s about the relationship between friendship and competition, and the price of sharing your passion.

It has 29 hours left to fund. Help me make it real.

A screenshot from a page featuring a George Mallory quote: What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for.

We are TWO top tier pledges away from hitting our stretch goal to upgrade the book!

Can we do it?

Laurie O'Connel @laurieoc.bsky.social · 25d

Alright lads, we're going into our final 3 days. Can we hit a stretch goal before 48 hours?

Just to remind you, this game is:

Behold the record of a bloody conflict, whereupon the brayherds of @korartificer.bsky.social met the ogre raiders of Bellanos the Vast upon the site of a ruined shrine in the Empire's borderlands. The beasts of Chaos may have been driven back for the moment, but their cunning leader survives yet...

The battle lines are formed, and a wall of stout (and bad-smelling) ogres marches hungrily towards the roaring (and equally bad-smelling) beastmen near the woodline.

Ogre leadbelchers line up their improvised guns, the Gor herd in the distance squarely in their sights.

A devastating volley from the leadbelchers has absolutely shredded the Bray-shaman's protective herd of Ungors.

A wall of ogres slams into the Wargor and his Gor bodyguard, sending limbs flying everywhere due to the impact.

Day 32 of #hobbystreak The Humans are done and ready to play - really like the colour combo now (even if it does remind me of a old Man Utd kit!) On to the Halflings next 🙂 #bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

A very special BBBLBBQ this year, as the BBBL turns 8 today! Naturally, we all had to celebrate, and that meant me getting to practice with my vampires - as well as debuting the Rat Smasher 5000 to mixed results in the annual Rat Ogre Bowl game 🔥

Actually, if there's one conclusion I can draw from this game, it's that I need to get more regular practice in. 3 weeks between this game and my last led to me being *very* rusty and making some silly mistakes!

Call me old fashioned, a crusty bastard etc, but I do think it was probably better for the hobby when putting a kit together didn't require you to be a master jeweller.

Yeah, suspect this is it. There's not really an obvious niche for them to fill, compared to the other teams - although that doesn't mean it's impossible to design one!

BBBL Plate Quarter-finals! The Hel Fenn Howlers manage to fight their way back into the game, making it 1-1 at full time, but the Warpstone Tunnelrats clinch it in penalties to advance.

A great first season for the Howlers - can't wait to run them again!

#bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

A Necromantic team and a Skaven team face off against each other on the Blood Bowl gridiron.

Against all the odds (and common sense, arguably) a lowly Zombie has managed to catch the ball!

A huge brawl, Skaven and Undead jumping all over each other. In the background, a rat ogre roars at it wades into the fray.

Slightly improving the Tomb Kings team, such that I'm weighing up playing them now? You magnificent bastards...

Listen, I've not got the best track record for game system predictions - I thought 40k 10th Ed would be a return to form - but I do *really* like the look of Blood Bowl: Third Season. Please, Nuffle, let me be right to be eager 🙏🙏🙏
