Already done, with art, "Don't Let the Krampus Grind You Down", which I did as part of the SimpleQuest KS, FINALLY getting released next month, as Wrong Christmas. Here's the Special Elf Service by @arkat.bsky.social

[its a bit of an in joke, one upon a Sunday afternoon at one of the early Furnaces, @thetweedmeister.bsky.social just casually remarked, "i like to drink whiskey, but it never gets me drunk" 🤣]

Feeling slightly frazzled and sleep deprived, so i know this sign says "breakfast" but my diseased brain reads it as "brainfarts"! 🤣

DR delights in arguing over rules minutiae, while Quinch loves the comprehensive (and limbtastic) Combat rules. 🤣

This, which I got in 1986 the year Metallica's Master of Puppets hit our High School Tape Trading network (which ages me 🧓). IT CAME IN A BOX, which reminded me of a Family Sized Weetabix box, for some reason, and had a Sven who was Magnificent!

'first time in Scotland' sounds like an unfortunate euphemism 🤣

Matt Smith falls into this. When ever I see photos of him, or interviews I think "what a huge bellend". It's irrational, when asked my mind comes up with he's an"odd looking square headed poshboy". But when I watch his work😍 If Tom Baker wasn't already my Dr Who, and he was A++ in House of Dragon.

I've played Borderlands 4, so you don't have to, or you can buy it in the Steam Sale at a super low price in a year or so. This game made me feel grumpy, rather than being uplifted by the mayhem and quirky black humour normally associated with the series. So a ranty review needed to be written! 🤣
