Finally got my Lost Films of Hollywood calendar by @christhebarker.bsky.social and @quantick.bsky.social up on my wall and I'm very happy with it. Only half a month late.

My nephew has knocked it out of the park with this belated Christmas present. 😍 I never knew there was a location map created for the film but never used.

My local bookshop managed to get a copy of this for me, I've been wanting to read it for a while.

Picked this up in Fanboy3 this morning. Heard good things about it from @burnafterrunning.bsky.social and am wondering if this might work with the Achtung! Cthulhu setting... 🤔

Off to bed in the hope of some rest before work in the morning. I know I'll return to my Star Wars Jedha setting, as I am in the process of revamping an old campaign set there. The Sahuagin Heel had some characters that I loved creating and I feel like they deserve to have more adventures... 🤔

I think I'm all set for #Grogmeet this coming weekend. All I have to do now is pick out a t-shirt to wear under a shacket...

Something about this place on my morning walk felt very liminal. The brightly painted shipping container is trying hard not to look vaguely disconcerting. If you go inside, can you guarantee you'll emerge in the same clearing?

Hello, old friend. 😊

Who can forget this scene in the cantina in Star Wars? 😜

The Blasted Isle, a map work in progress for The Gate of Screaming Jade, the next adventure I'm writing for the Ronin RPG using their open license.

Regarding Ronin. The Blasted Isle of Akuma Saizo is taking shape...

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

I have nowhere to put it! I can't bring myself to put any of this away. 🙈

My t-shirt has been buffering for ages now...

This is one of my local foxes. She lives under the big tree across the back from us we think.

Happy birthday Kaye! Have a photo of Wanda!

Wasn't this chap protecting the elf king in Hellboy 2 The Golden Army?
