Highlander in the Borders. Academic. Here for the RPG chat, mostly. Groggish. Emerged from the deep freeze a few years ago and trying to catch up...not interested in your political views, or trial by social media - take that to 'the other place', please.

I ordered mine from a company called Vistaprint and it wasn’t expensive - much less than the official ones - you can choose whatever font/text/ink colour/size you want, and there are thousands of images too (including lots of skulls 😏).
