There is a clear reponse to Trump and this Greenland bullshit. Stop buying and consuming everything exported from America and rejoin the EU. There, problem solved.

Another Grogten event - "What Sport"! Thanks Gents!

If you American feckers haven't indicted or otherwise disposed of that Orange Baboon by this weekend then I give up.

Oz Rosé Muscat is horrific until you have something sweet and then it becomes...UNBELIEVABLE!!! Must try everyone!!!!

I'm looking to start a TV Channel: OMTV (Old Man Television) First programme: "Are you the C*nt"? Just film people going about being absolute twats. We'll start with an on the road segment, then go to the supermarket. Plenty of people to film there. C*nts.

Genius.

New Year! Let's start with this banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OVi...

As part of Chaosium's 50th anniversary celebrations, Rick Meints, Chaosium president and Head of Nostalgia, was invited by the @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social to share five items from the Chaosium Archives that represent the development of the company over fifty years. Some unexpected items in there!

The most "off" thing about losing your hair to Chemotherapy is not the fact that you lose it but that you don't recognise yourself in the mirror. Plus if you've had a beard for a long time, seeing your turkey neck is...startling. Moreover, I'm not longer 'elastic' in springing back...ah well.

Have to say the real stars of the Hootenany are Jools Holland's big band! Fab musicians!!!

Top Bombing Lulu! Still got it! Major props and well done, ma'am.

I'm likely to be a bit distracted by calls and hugs and stuff so, in case I am, Happy New Year everyone! May only nice things happen for you. Huge Love ❤️ 😍 💖

Nice one Ronnie Wood - just keep going you absolute Ledge!!!

Zulu on Channel 5 right now. "Well they've got a good bass section, but no Tenors"

I now know what I want written on my gravestone: "Close the fucking doors"

Ah well, hair has started to fall out so have shaved beard and am at the Barbers for the last time in a while! #fuckyoucancer

Teddy the wonder dog (15yrs old) models his latest outfit. Happy Xmas Jumper everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a super day tomorrow! And to anyone not celebrating for whatever reason, hope you also have a super day too! All the very very best!

Calling all contributors to Frankenstein RPG Pod. You never understood it did you?????

Here the file with the wonderful @lizdanforth-artist.bsky.social thegrognardfiles.com/tag/liz-danf...

If you use the tag #grogmerp you will find a campaign that I hope had some influence on the production of @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social ‘s production of the MERP rpg file back in 2020. All posts transfered from that eX place. What strikes me is the enormous amount of supplements done for the game.

Saw this and thought of you @davepaters.bsky.social

Watching Chris Hoy doc on TV and first 3 minutes echoes so much with me. #fuckucancer

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

Argh! Am at the Hogs Back Brewery and all I'm drinking is...

Went to the panto yesterday and it hugely cheered me up! Oh no it didn't...

New Episode Today! Legend of the Bones is a dark fantasy audio drama, driven by old school, solo Dungeons and Dragons. None shall escape the destony of bone... legendofthebones.podbean.com/e/season-1-e... #ttrpg #solorpg #audiodrama #dungeonsanddragons #osr

If I weren't an Ipswich Town Fan I'd probably be a Villa fan. I have lots of mates who are Villa fans and always want them to do well but that's not why. No. They used to be my subbuteo team when I won the inaugural Paterson League vs brother in 1980/81 and Gordon Cowans snapped his stand. #oddfans

I have a new horror. 18th Birthday parties in my own home. Shits.

New GROGPOD. Learn how Sweden transformed RPGs through play-culture with @magnusseter.bsky.social and get the chance to win books generously provided by Fandrake. thegrognardfiles.com/2025/11/30/s...

The EU has fined Elon Musk's hideous creation €120m. We have asked Ofcom: when will you act? goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Just draw the fucking balls FIFA!

@davidolusoga.bsky.social Just finished catching up with TV series Empire. Absolutely loved it and made me think a lot about things I thought I was familiar with. Both rightly disturbing and challenging it was also involving and deeply moving. Thank you. Cannot recommend highly enough.

If someone says "Would you like general anaesthetic for your throat procedure?" The answer is always "Yes, drugs, lots of them please" It is NOT "No".

Bugger. RIP Robin Smith. Shame.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Announcement time: as you may know, for a few years my wife and I have been creating audio tours of destinations in Andalucía using a great app called VoiceMap. It’s been going really well, so we’ve decided to branch out with a website for visitors to Andalucía. It’s called Andalucía Bound. 1/

If it's a Western you're a cravin' then check out the award winning Tales from the Old West by @effektpodcast.org #Dragonmeet

It's Dragonmeet today! Come and see the whole @allrolledup.bsky.social team on our must-see stand at G1 – G5 (near the "Exit" on the event map). Dice, accessories, games... and me 🤣

Yeee and might I also add, hah! Looking forward to getting into this. Wondering if I can turn the 1970s Battlestar Galactica series into an 1880s wagon train campaign... 🤔 (Yes have watched 1883)

Leaving this here for the greatest Guitar player of all time. youtu.be/yQ2dvtMuFqs?...

Have a brilliant day at Grogmeet everyone!!! Me? Well, I thought I'd have the odd MRI. Ah well...
