Sheffield (England)-based, proud Civil Servant. Heavily experienced coder focusing on TTRPG's, Rulesets, Adventurers, Campaigns, Mods. Also dabbling in RPG writing, mapmaking, drinking beer, and father to an Angel and a Devil, and lover of good tea.
The original Alone in the Dark, not what they released last year as a remake, that latest was more a FPS than a puzzle game.
It's Morrowind and it's not even close
I would like to know! 🤓👾

These are fabulous and it shows in our dark world that there's some fun still. Embrace it.
Just saw the list of gritter names for this year and they have outdone themselves
These always make me smile

Come down
Get off your fucking cross
We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr
To ascend you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye

I hate Discord, I've tried to mute everything, and still, I have 154 notifications!

I wish there were a better way of knowing things rather than having to search a 1,000 channels etc.

@montecookgames.com

Just got the Backerkit email, but...

To us in the UK, May 2025 is in the past.

I do wish all folks around the world would use dates like: 5th December 2025, or December 5th 2025. Still, I filled it in.

Game on.

First time ever in my life, I thought about leaving the UK and living elsewhere.

Of course, with my family being 75% Irish, I could easily move there - the trick is working, living and the family wanting to also go.

I'm watching that Midwinter of the Spirit on Netflix.

It's not very good. Has great promise, but I think one of the problems - the main actor, I find that I'm expecting her to say something based on her role in Motherland (sorry to typecast someone).

Is shall finish it though, I'm like that.

Does any know (@fenrisgames.com you may) of any miniatures companies that produce mini for the Legend of the Five Rings RPG? I'm looking for PC's and NPCs etc.

Plague house today, all 3 of us are down with something, all different, of course!

So in the last 24 hours, it seems:

Missus is feeling a bit better
Panic at the Disco is being played at Number 10
Panic at the Disco is being played at The Home Office
The weather is very weatherly

But more importantly, the red light has come on for the tea bag level. I need to brave said weather!

It's too early for a Saturday, but my youngest and I were to travel to Birmingham for the Uni open day.

However, my other angel is in bed poorly. She spent a lot of Thursday in A&E and isn't any better. Hopefully, bed rest will aid her.

So my youngest has cancelled her day to look after her mum.

@pcgamer.com Good respect to you folks in the latest mag. Using Queen song titles as section titles was great to see and read.

This has irked me since I saw it, and I have to ask something.

For me, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind is about Aliens VISITING the Earth and mankind wanting to communicate with them.

Nothing about an Invasion at all, where do they get these ideas on the BBC?

It's amazing isn't it, what happens in 24 hours!

I'm back from the dentist - it wasn't as bad as expected.
Our PM looks like there's trouble brewing
The MoJ is putting £10m into AI to stop releasing prisoners early (I'll do it for £2m with no AI)
Trump feels he's obligated to sue the BBC

Crumbs!

So I hope you folks can support this. My lovely better half works there, but due to stress, she's been off sick for a while.

Love this music a lot.

Used in Kleo and of course, the wonderful film Arrival.

Was good to get the old Dragonbane sheet out tonight, a gentle game of eating Muffin's to offset my Baker's fear of what was in that place under the mound.

@fenrisgames.com cheers fella for running it with what's going on with Oz.

@stoogoff.com Are you on a stall at Dragonmeet chap?

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔
