🚨 6 DAYS LEFT 🚨 We have just one week to stop Sex Matters infiltrating a vote to ban conversion therapy. Over 5,000 have taken action. Will you join them? https://action.goodlawproject.org/stop-sex-matters-infiltrating-the-council-of-europe

I woke up this morning and realised that I'm the only person in BRPdom that thinks that long skill lists are a good thing in modern BRP games. So Wryd Sword now has 20 or so skills, compared with its inital 40+. Also a new twist on specialisms #BasicRoleplaying #TTRPG

Now live on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/896...

I'm currently finishing off the Characters chapter for the Savage North for OpenQuest. Amongst all the sword-wielding concepts of one of the barbarian cultures, there's a career called "Sword Shy" who "deliberately avoid the Rule of Steel (i.e., violence), using words instead to resolve conflict."

Conversation I had with myself earlier (which I still can't believe I did). Newt "Wouldn't it be nice, if we had a Swords and Sorcery version of D&D, with some modern streamlining, that took its tone from British 80s like White Dwarf and Fighting Fantasy?" Newtoo, "We do, Crypts and Things" 1/

I think the biggest thing I've worked out from designing D100 systems over nearly 20 years, is that slow and steady steps win the day. That there's no point designing something so radical, and ground breaking that its not recognisable as a D100, roll under skill, game. #d100 #ttrpg

I endorse this fully 🤣

One for people who grew up on UK children's TV in the 70s-90s. Cosgrove Hall now has a permanent exhibition of items from their archive at Sale Library in Manchester. For fans of Dangermouse, Count Ducklua and my favourite Chorlton and the Wheeles 🤣 watersidearts.org/visit/cosgro...

In the words of Brian Ferry: Now the party's over, I'm rewiring the garage Then back to work Wednesday Avalon

Ok this one is for #D101Games fans. I'm officially back at work on it today. I'm painfully aware I'm behind on a number of things. So I'll be prioritising and getting my head down. I'll do a big update at the end of the month, at where I'm up to, as well as a start of year State of D101 Games. 1/

I think my festive period is over. Christmas, New Year and finally Gamemas (celebrated at #Grogmeet on Saturday and #Morpcon on Sunday). A calm walk with the dog, in post-storm conditions (wet and clear) and then back to work! 😍

Ending a weekend of gaming was #MorpCon yesterday, where I ran my D20-lite Looter Shooter, #StarPlunderInc, for the first time. Three players and I had a Maximum Gaming Fun Time, exploring the abandoned town of Tutorial, and its adjacent Rustfields. Big thanks to Bex, Martin and Graham :)

Slightly diminish an RPG PruneQuest NotReallyPunk Advanced Dimwits and Dinosaurs 12b Age Call of Yer Mum Old School Lunchbox Stoatbringer (ok I'll stop now, had my fun 🤣)

Had a great day out in Manchester for #grogmeet 2026. Caught up with a bunch of folk, including the sagacious @ottomancer.bsky.social. My game of #GrimAndDangerous , went exceedingly well with my players engaging with my made up #oldhammer nonsense. Big thanks to @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social 😍

A weekend of gaming abundance starts tomorrow with Grogmeet 2026! Then on Sunday afternoon (1 to 5) , after it continues with the latest instalment of Morpcon. Extra spaces have been opened up in the feast of games on offer. If you are in Manchester, why not join us :) warhorn.net/events/morpc...

A fine return to work day. A good morning start with a consistant and hopeful ticking off of tasks, marred by a long lunch time nap. With famous last words, "I'll just lie down for five minutes, i'll only be out for thirty at the most"🤣

I've been actively living a positive life and not getting down in the dumps since the start of 2025. A lot of my own approach is echoed in this video. 😍

Just found out that the longstanding Call of Cthulhu site/forum yog-sothoth.com has ended after 28 years. I'm not the biggest CoC fan, but the site was a reassuring one, and always an interesting read. Big thanks to Paul of Cthulhu and fellow conspirators. So long and thanks for all the Deep Ones 👍

Achievement unlocked, 11 am New Year's lie in!!! #dadBrigade #Winning

Happy New Year! May it be a big one of Awesome and Win 😍🎉

Just over ten days before #Grogmeet on the Saturday and #MorpCon on Sunday. Fortunatly I've got rules/scenarios/pre-made characters done for both Beneath the Ziggurat of Gloom (for Grim and Dangerous #OldhammerRPG) and Tutorial (Starplunder INC), for which there are still player spaces on Sunday.

South Park alumnus Toby Morton saw the rename on the cards months ago and bought the trumpkennedycenter domain (com and org). https://www.trumpkennedycenter.org

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

Behold, the Ziggurat has risen, in its most scumpcious Christmas Cake form!

If you see this, post a sword 🗡️

Getting back into writing this morning. So opened up the docs for my OpenQuest Ducks supplement, the Feathers and the Fury. Here's an excerpt on the two theories human scholars have proposed about the origins of this species. openquestrpg.com/2025/12/26/t... #ducks #ttrpg

OK this wins the Internet over the Christmas Period. The rest of us can all log out and stop trying. 😍

This year's Christmas message is ,"Nano, Nano" 🙂

This is truely the #SpiritOfChristmas, wrapping all the presents while watching Father Ted 🤣

Once more into the breach, er, super-dupa market, for the eldest was not in the previous Christmas shop. Hurrah for Crapalism! 🤣 This time I will be channelling my inner Doom Guy, because everyone plays a lot of Doom at Christmas time, right? #WrongChristmas

Yes, im like a crack team of Vietnam veterans who have just escaped from a maximum security coumpound in LA when it comes to Christmas shopping. I shall be bringing my A Team to Morrisions later today!

Big dice, little dice, #13thAge! Mulling over second edition over morning coffee.

Woo Hoo! #Cardiacs, in concert ten years ago TODAY, released onto YooToob TODAY! Part 2, TOMORROW!! youtu.be/drXzrrFt60o?...

If you are in Manchester in mid January, post #grogmeet, and want to have a looting and shooting right good time, please consider signing up for my Star Plunder Inc adventure. Tutorial is my introduction to this sci-fi post-apocalypse game, kinda D&D with lasers. Its my current game of excitement.🤩

ooooooo, loook what's turned up to cheer up this dull day , 13th Age 2nd Ed, with mahoosive escalation dice. Rhanks @pelgranepress.bsky.social #ttrpg

I'm not usually one for politics, I want BSky to be my (and your) happy place. But I couldn't walk on by when I saw this. Take five to consider signing.

looks like we'll be shipping up to Friday but tomorrow's the last day we can supposedly guarantee* delivery before Christmas to UK homes, so we're having a flash sale! Get 60% off a Wyrd Science x @elkowalczuk.bsky.social t-shirt while stocks last with the code WYRDMAS (valid > Friday midday) 🔗👇

Slovakia rewrote its Constitution to erase rights for LGBT+ people and reject international human rights protections. The EU has opened an infringement procedure – but stronger action depends on us. Add your name now. a.allout.org/s/v0qyx/

Starting to get a bit too giddy. I blame the dream I had this morning, where I was rocking a hot red dress. Best be off to visit my narcissistic mum, the other side of rainy Oldham. That will bring me down a notch or five 🤣

This wins the Internet today, and possibly a strong contender for Best of Christmas 2025 award too. 🤣

Peace and Goodwill to all Men? Nah, Total War Warhammer 40K is coming, THERE IS NO PEACE AMOUNG THE STARS!! youtu.be/QbA4ZQI7AN8?...

Q. Is Fighting Fantasy an Old School Game? A. No its a Secondary School game! Well it is in my experience, because that's where I found it in the school library. 🤣

Saw this butterfly a good couple of months ago and assumed it had come inside my house to die. It's still alive, which is strangely uplifting 😍

Hey @thedicemechanic.bsky.social did you know this exists?

Glasshouse for #FiveEvil by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social is out now in PDF! The early 90s, and while London is booming, you're struggling. You've got a job which will save your family-run asbestos removal company. What could possibly wrong? Oh no. Everything. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

While my children have more modern (and expensive) takes on the traditional chocolate advent calendar, I've gone digital, and every day is a satirical delight, as it always is with @sirpaintalot.bsky.social 😍

I have conquered the old games room. The dust and plastic tat has been scrapped off the floor and put into FIVE BINLINERS. The contents of the room, and new table have been neatly put back in. Tomorrow we do trips to the recycling centre, but tonight we feast on PIZZA!!! #Winning #AwesomeActs
