Husband, father. Interests: RPGs, history, books, food. Hates getting old but it's better than the alternative.
Making my way through the Series Replay article in the ASL Starter Kit magazine and it is just so damn good. Learning so much but also loving the IJADG ethos.

Top marks to both players and @multimanpublishing.bsky.social

Trust me. I so wanted to love this game (and concept - I also bought Colonial Twilight). But having just finished a play though on VASSAL Discord I’m so disappointed.

I don’t think it’s necessarily the system. It’s me. I just love hexes and counters.

Couple moved in next door. Old bloke lived there before had a beautiful garden. He spent every day in it. New guy ripped out everything & put fake grass in. So I've planted trees next to the boundary that will fill his lawn with dead leaves in the autumn. This one's for you Alf

Just did a major cull of Followed Accounts, apologies if I’ve deleted yours in error.

Was finding BlueSky (which I had major hopes for) just too rammed with random and pretty puerile posts. One or two I can live with but when my feed is full of them it’s time for action.

I try to steer away from controversial stuff but for anyone who hates landed privilege here's a link to a peaceful trespass on the land of a classic 'anonymous landowner'. Come along if you can.

I've enjoyed working on the Ironsworn Reference Guide update, but the bestest part of the project is seeing the things I cobbled together in 2018 reimagined by an actual artist. Such as the shiny new map of the Ironlands by @damienmammoliti.bsky.social.

Every empire ends, but Trump has greatly hastened the end of US hegemony. What’s really surprising though is that it’s all been done with complicity of a majority of the American electorate.

On Sunday morning I’ll be walking round my local cemetery in West Norwood. When I see or hear a bird I’ll shout ‘BIRD!’
For some reason this is being advertised as a ‘guided bird walk’. You should come along. It’s free, but you have to register.

Rewatching this in preparation for the latest season and I have to say that IMO it’s the best drama the BBC have screened this century. Sublime script and acting. Understatement and nuance are everything. #BBC #WolfHall

Played some Alien RPG down at the local games cafe last night. Guess what - we all died 😂

Interesting game with a clever stress mechanic. I thought Shadowdark was pretty grim but wow, Alien takes the biscuit.

Just completed running my Play-by-Post
#CallOfCthulhu one-shot and with the nights drawing in I feel a new solo campaign is what's needed.

I always start with the outline setting so I'm looking forward to an exciting if somewhat mentally tiring day ahead! 😀

This is great news. However, let's hope the system continues to grow enough to handle the increasing membership, and also the number of moderators. None of us want to see @bsky.app turn into the online cess pit that Twitter has become.

Oct has been a rubbish month.
Forced to close the shop for over 3 weeks.
Online sales have been lifelines to survive...
