We've just completed book 2 of Sky King's Tomb. It's honestly not the best and the GM said he's having to make some sizeable adjustments to have it actually make sense. The first book was a lot better

In the early days it was for Tunnels & Trolls so I just made it Trollish Delver to fit the theme

You can just sit and play and entire roleplaying game in your head and have fun. Nothing's stopping you

Today I came home via train and took a look in the deep ditch where there was a big yellow pipe. I'm fairly sure there were deep scratches in the stone. Genuinely looked like an old script (sort of cuneform)

I overheard a couple of bingo-goers in the bus shelter talking about how weird it is that the crows are lining up on the fences surrounding the roadworks. Just hundreds at once sometimes

Dungeons could be leisure attractions. People picnic outside the old ruins, pop in for a quick monster hunt, buy something from the various hawkers outside. Boards outside with rough maps and the history of the dungeon. Guided tours

Our friends at Tavernmaster Games sent us some shots of their group playing Tunnels & Trolls. With beautifully painted minis, and thanks to a mix of magic, muscle, and a good bit of luck... just managed to defeat the big bad. Check out their website! βΆοΈ https://bit.ly/45CVkZ5

Question to all UFO-minded people: in the nineties British UFO researcher Victor Kean initiated Project Triangle, a database for triangular UFO sightings. According to a brief report in BUFORA Magazine, he had collected 7,000 sightings. But today, no trace of it. Any leads?
