Well, this little set has “seen some action”, as they say, but a very welcome addition to my #OSR #RPG collection: 2nd edition of Marc Miller’s terrific sci-fi game #Traveller!
I loved playing this as a teenager in the 80’s, but wished I’d played more. Looking forward to diving back in.

Most people have an Internal Monologue. The Mog, however, has always had an Internal Theme Tune: Raiders of the Lost Arc. It’s pretty sick, and responsible for my unshakable self esteem.
As sick as that is, I always secretly wished it was the theme to Battle of the Planets. [sigh]

Driving through Lake Geneva, WI, so I swing past (what I believe to be) Gary Gygax’s old house? It’s for sale, but a bit outside of my budget! Dang it!

It’s been a helluva week, both at work and in the world at large. Getting through the day listening to some RPG-inspiring metal. Deep Purple, baby!
How good is Sweet Child in Time? Jeez, I remember designing dungeons in 1982 while listening to that genius. #OSR #TTRPG #MentalHealthMetal

I’m watching The Asylum’s 2005 mockbuster HG Wells’ War of the Worlds.
It’s not “good”, but it is more entertaining than the Tom Cruise debacle! I’ll take it!
Thanks to @hjdoom.bsky.social for pointing me in the direction of this enjoyable train wreck. Well played, Sir.

Today I was thinking about how my life changed the day I was introduced to this book. I was eleven years old, I had just started senior school in London, UK. My parents were recently divorced, and I was very lost. Enter: Tom Moldvay’s Basic DND boxed set, and my world exploded…
