With yesterday’s episode the last before we take a break until 2026, there is no better time to start watching The Last Starmarked.

There’s 16 episodes, all an hour or less plus there’s a monkey. That’s a sweet deal if you ask me.

Oh no.
RIP Jimmy Cliff
Worth taking 3 minutes this morning to watch this profound and lovely performance.
And if you’re my age, to remember where you were when you first heard the song.

I mean, I should probably go to this as it is 20 minutes from my house.
Right, UK gaming folk - Revelation is an amazing, focused convention in Sheffield. Quality games in a great gaming location.

The early numbers have traditionally been threadbare and I've been forced to use a Cold Hard Stare to convince people they like fun.

Lets not do that this time. Come play!
REVELATION X (14-15 February 2026) has opened for registration.

Join us for a Valentine's Weekend full of Powered by the Apocalypse and Forged in the Dark #ttrpg games at the Garrison Hotel in Sheffield, UK!

For anyone heavily invested - and don't pretend you're not - my list of games to play in 2026 has just reached 41 games.

I need to whittle it down to about 15, which as far as whittling goes, is tantamount to tree surgery.

Just got back from PAXU and feeling energized, inspired, and ready to create something? I have some opportunities that might interest you! I'm hitting the ground running on a new project, The Lands Remaining, and there are ways to get involved. Details in the thread!

I'm heading to Dragonmeet! And I'll be cosplaying (is it cosplay if it's your oc? 🤷🏿) as Leon from our very silly fun-time (terrifying) Public Access campaign over on TheBadSpot channel!

Don't know who or what that is? Well, do I have a playlist for you.

So the first part of ‘make history by coming back from 2-0 down’ is nearly accomplished. And they’ve bought an extra three days to work out how to boss the Brisbane test for three days and still lose.

If you see me at #PAXU don’t say hi, DO NOT approach.

I am in the UK and not attending, the person you see before you is a flesh construct animated by some dreadful necromancy but I have been informed he does accept hugs and/or handshakes.
