That's a very good point, how silly of me. Oh I know, it was NYDER. He's very good with cameras.
Marcus Rowland lookalike.
🤔 Just a guess .. UGGO?
🤞
10 hours folks. I've got most of it but $22.19 for *all* the Hostile is an excellent deal
Great, thanks. Will give it a go.
Ohh Matron, how many episodes have they put out?
Only just started to listen.. @mrspike.bsky.social made me laugh when his character, settling in for evening, was perusing their library for a book to read. The Willows is a good choice though.
Fantastic, have a blast!
That's certainly an interesting question. I'll ask him when I'm next in Cancun.
Take this and tie it round your fucking lamposts...
Looks like the same paint used for the writing and covering up 🤔
Witch's Cat: You are a witch's cat. You can do amazing magical things to help your witch fulfil their goals... ...but you're also a cat and you need to do cat things.
Grand Coven Library: You are a librarian, a gatherer of magic lore for the Grand Coven Library. Your task is to categorise these magical texts and summarise their contents. There's an accompanying website where books details from your game can be added to create a library catalogue card.
The postman delivered a black envelope (all the way from Mount Vernon, Iowa). 2 zines, The Grand Coven Library and Witch's Cat - from Magpie Games. Both games use a tarot deck (and optional d6) to generate prompts to play. Backed on Kickstater, delivered on time.
😍 Perfectly arcane!
Now, all join hands to form a circle.
There are still tickets left for these #CallOfCthulhu games at Old Melbourne Gaol this week!
No, thank you 😁
Sadly not. And at zero the character becomes unplayable and is an npc.
All of it!
Want..
Quite daft, but people will love them.
Beautiful 😍
Extremely.
That could work.
And luck.
Plus our QuickStart section which now features new columns from Stu Horvath & James Wallis, reviews covering everything from RPGs, boardgames & wargames to live events & books, plus a complete playable game to cut out & keep from @cjeggett.co.uk. It’s genuinely, obscenely stuffed shop.wyrd.science

I'd rather not, thank you very much.
They like full sun and very little watering.
Mary Jane's for the fashion conscious Tooth Fairy. 😱
Starting adventure is getting a shipment of corn to the next village. Oh dear, the bridge over the river has collapsed.
My local HEMA club is doing a seminar with Dr. Guy Windsor next month. Anyone within spitting distance of Suffolk, or even just travelling distance, keep your eyes peeled for news tomorrow (hopefully). suffolkhema.co.uk
Make the character a fox!
A nice gentle episode with well needed recuperation for the party. Loved the character exposition, an insight into Dwarf and Elven trading. It's the little nuggets of detail from the wider world that help paint such a vivid adventure.
Not a blink-dog joke 😆
The Devil's Chair is a wonderful and very interesting piece of folklore which is probably more famous across the Atlantic. #Folklore vocal.media/geeks/the-de...
I'm running a Call of Cthulhu module - Madness at Lake Geneva. No experience required, and we could use some extra players!
Well, we don't have grits in the UK, porridge made from oats, yes. Eggs and avocado belong on toast, and separately. Cultural differences, eh.

Wot no @gruntleigh.bsky.social ?
😆 I'm not on commission, honest.
Inkling are great folks. Buy their stuffs!
Three peals of thunder, quite a bit of rain and .. 🌈🌈
The met reported those figures. They probably have a vested interest in reporting large numbers for protests? Budgets, overtime,etc.
This scared me.
14k steps today, in my slip-ins. All in urban terrain, mind you.
Damn shame. YSDC Games Day/Convocation was, for me, a highlight of the gaming calendar. Great day of gaming and follow-on events.
Is that the new management pricing it upwards as they don't want to have events? I know there's a vat element here, too.
They only like Marlborough Reds.

I was at London Bridge at midday. Only saw a handful of flag shaggers making their way towards Waterloo. Looked like some Innsmouth natives on a day trip to the city. A bit later, these two flagged wrapped geezers walked past me, one was on his phone, "yeah.. I'm at Fred Needle street...".
Got a pair on now, 5k steps already this morning. Like wearing clouds on my feet.
🤞
It was a hot mess, clams, rocket grenades, secret warrior monks.
How very dare you! I'm reporting you to Jamie Redknapp.
Sketchers slip-ins, they do a wide fitting. Got a couple of pairs from Pavers.
Santa Clarita Diet, I know it had 3 seasons, but we never found out what Mr. Ball Legs was all about. Unless.. Tim Olyphant got it a gig on Alien Earth 🤔
Yes! The writers' room must have had some wild random tables to roll on to generate the object/power combinations.

Only room for the dog, sorry.
A rather telling sign of the times. Matt from Mongoose explains a tweak to the "rescue a billionaire" sample adventure in their upcoming near-future RPG. #Games #RPG #GoodDog
Looks like you're correct, everyone has something they can't resist.
The Fungi from Yuggoth want their jar back!
They're a bit squishy though.
That Library was an almost perfect venue for gaming. @judgefredd.bsky.social always runs a great game too.

If there's one thing I definitely don't need it's a 'supernatural investigation' game, and yet ..
Nerd alert 🚨 This does sound really cool.
Now I'm going to have to have a closer look at OSE.
SOLD!
That's perfect, promoted immediately.. We often have asparagus (oven baked) - half in balsamic and half with garlic salt and grated parmesan. This spoon would save a lot of faffing about when serving these.
You just know he's got a top hat that's decorated with cogs as well.
Congratulations to you both 🎉
If that happens, just point out the cyber truck turned out.
Why didn't anyone fill the pothole while DAVROS was still stuck in there? The 4th Doctor is handy with tarmac.
I've been running through a thought experiment. What would a £5 entry level RPG look like? Not a one-sheet or a downloadable pdf game. One that obeys these rules - no digital requirements: no downloads or print outs - no unreasonable extra spends: so 2d6, pencil and paper only - it's printed
But I liked dropping a 📌
Don your chunky sweater and old raincoat, and head out onto the moor to confront the rotting corpse of your daughter’s piano teacher. Take your hip flask, you’ll need it. Some ace stretch goals still to go. £12 and £24 for the PDF and hardcover book respectively are an absolute steal. Back it now.
So cute ..
A shot in the dark, but are there any #orchid experts here, that can tell me, what is wrong with my lil office orchid? She sits by the window, but not in direct sun light. I try not to water her too much, and we only use the air condition moderately. I also see no insects/eggs/etc. Halp :( #plants
Time zones will do that to you.
Both can be true.
Chatting with a pal, and I’m suddenly reminded of the time back in 1990 or so when I was asked to run a Stormbringer/EC game at GenCon when a GM didn't show… I had no idea for a scenario, and no time to prepare, so I just ran the plot of the Yellow Submarine, and nobody noticed…
On the off-chance anyone is around Yorkshire this October, I'm playing the titular Count in this touring theatrical production of Dracula. Just under five weeks to go! All tickets available at linktr.ee/DraculaSH

Very welcome
