Never has my Dune Part 2 Cinema Slurpy cup, filled with fizzy Vimto and ice, as I hide in the shade of the office, writing a post-apocalyptic setting facing the heat death of Five Suns, been so relevant! 😍

@k000.bsky.social Given your most enlightening posts about retrieving the washing in the current heat, and the information summarised by this post...are you one of the Mushroom People? 🍄😆

Registration for Furnace XXI, to be held at The Garrison Hotel, Sheffield UK, on the weekend of October 10th & 11th 2026, is now open! We hope to fill the place with laughter and adventure, just as last year! Register here: furnace.org.uk/registration/ Submit games here: furnace.org.uk/games/

Yesterday had a wonderful time at Alexandria Park, in central Oldham. 1/

Remember that advert for Nescafé Aztec Gold coffee from the 80s. My diseased brain does 🤣

Quick reminder, if you want a new OpenQuest adventure, an introductory Basic Roleplaying adventure and a bunch of rules, setting and discussion pieces about D100 roleplaying, check out my new magazine Fantastic Odysseys now available via @drivethrurpg.com. #BRP #OpenQuest #ttrpg

Here is our report from the adventures at UK Games Expo 2026 with added giallo from @hardyroachgames.bsky.social thegrognardfiles.com/2026/06/20/u...

This is an embarrassing image for the UK. A self-respecting British fox should be dragging Binface's contents out over the stage

With his victory in Makerfield, can we all do the Andy Burnham song in celebration now? 🤔🤣

And the rest they say is history eh @elevatedpachyderm.bsky.social 🤩

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

James Bond should be allowed to enjoy his retirement, with his companion Ms Moneypenny, without the KGB hunting him over past operations. Sign the petition today! 🤣

If you bought OpenQuest during the recent Deal of the Day sale over at DriveThruRPG.com you have my thanks, since it created an art fund for a spinoff game. Can't say much now, apart from @arkat.bsky.social being involved, but D101 Games is going back into SPPPPACE!! :D

Today, my wonderful wife @racheln76.bsky.social won the case to get our autistic son, H, into the sixth form that can meet his needs (small class size and quiet school). It's taken a 9 months, all because the LEA didn't want to pay, even though the Law says they should. Still in shock, but happy. 😴😍

H's last GCSE today. Which means tomorrow his BIG SUMMER holidays start, and I have to think of things to keep the little fiend occupied 🤣 Seriously, this is an even more awesome achievement unlocked than usual because this time last year his school hadn't even sorted which ones he was sitting 😬1/

Just spent a couple of hours doing admin, to sort out who has paid postage for the Signed and Sent copies of the last Kickstarter fulfilment I've done, Swords against the Shadows. If you are due a book from me, please go and pay your postage so I can send it to you asap.

I've drunk pints in that pub, about twenty years ago. They were nice 😍

Trooping the Colour, its such a sombre event of state. Absentmindedly, my diseased brain thinks, what would it be like if it was "Whooping the Colour" 🤣

Alright, finally Uleria Loves You and Three Doors to Your Heart are available in glorious full color print format! The editions are gorgeous, might make a little video about it tomorrow, but right now here are the books! They are ttrpg modules for RuneQuest: Glorantha. Links in the following posts!

Counter protest against the far-right in Liverpool. Please share it. Even if you're not in Liverpool, you might have followers who are and help is gonna be needed

I don't normally do Advent calendars, especially this early in the year...but to celebrate the birth of our Lord Saviour Godzilla, I'll buy this one. @k000.bsky.social and @gavthorpe.bsky.social is this also pertinent to your interests? #WrongChristmas #Godzilla

I must admit curiosity has got the better of me. Mmmn tastes of, "yes I do want go and see it at my local cinema!" 🤣

Hmm, the ideal prank gift, in a sinister manner, for that Christmas Secret Santa. (note to self: pop into Lidl later). 🤣

Oh oh, I used to pass this building every time I went into town for the shops when I was 15-18. Fun Fact, during the Border Reavers period, they used to hang people in the Market Place in the foreground. Of course when I lived there, I never went inside. In fact I'm quite surprised you can! 🤣

Been struggling over the last week or so to get D101games.com up to date and in a healthy state. What should have been a simple server upgrade turned into a trawl through the site's guts. 1/

My own personal DuckQuest continues over coffee this morning. Happily, I'm a lot further in on the writing than I thought, with large swathes of background written, and even a What My Elder Told Me Q&A (see screenshot). Oh, look what's in a folder, a set of premade characters? 1/

Another weekend of convention FOMO, this time Moorcockian RPGs gathering in oh so close but oh so far Bradford, grounded by the fact I'm on Dad Duty as my wife is away at a well deserved crafting get together. I'm offsetting it by having a holiday on the Duck Coast. 1/

In an alternate Universe I was raised on Rainbow Wars. Who could have expected Zippy's sudden coversion to the Sith? Well not George, who was heartbroken. #WinsTheInternetToday #UseResponsively

Gooooooooooooood morning! Just over seven hours of the now Platinum OpenQuest as Deal of the Day over at @drivethrurpg.com where the PDF is currently half price. 😍

If you are OpenQuest curious, it's Deal of the Day at @drivethrurpg.com, and the PDF is half price for the next 24 hours.

North Star SF #ttrpg convention is confirmed to return at The Garrison Hotel, Sheffield, UK, for the weekend of 15-16 May 2027! One for your diary and to consider your accommodation! Registration will take place late this year. It will be full of great games again. Join us! northstarcon.org.uk

Full English on a weekday? But we are out of beans and toast. So I guess I'm filled up with double potatoes and black pudding now 🤣#FunBreakfast #DontRateMyBreakfast

I'm currently resisting a trip down memory lane by watching Gerry Anderson's UFO. Because yes, my 1980s were like that. I had a haircut like the male lead, I went out with a purple haired girl, and in those days, a mobile was not a phone, but a caterpillar tracked personal carrier! 🤣

Casual thought about Crypts and Things. I'm not even sure I have even a pdf copy of the "old rules", and it was released in 2012, with Remastered (the "new rules") following in 2016. So I might not be able to do a blow by blow of all the design decisions I made fifteen to ten years ago 🙂 1/

I definitely think I've hit a Cognitive Load wall recently. Our Henry is absorbed, to the point I've had to mention having breaks from the computer, in Doom Eternal, while my poor soggy brain is more than happy playing its noble ancestor Doom, as a quick dip in and out of games of 10-30 minutes. 1/

Taking a break from BRP/D100 Worlds and Rules, and bringing Crypts and Things (my OD&D Swords and Sorcery game) into the garage for a ruthless self edit in preparation for a "Resurrected" edition in Oct. I've not touched it for too long and I'm reminded of how much fun it is. 😍#bosr #dnd #ttrpg

What admission would kill your Grognard street cred? Wot, we have street cred? It's like Dad Dancing innit? (like all the cool kids say these days).

Right today is a big mail out, then stock take, and then if the weather hasn't reduced me to a hot sticky mess, a stock clearance sale! No UK Expo fomo for me, too busy with stuff at home 🤣

Those who can't make UKGE - we should take this weekend to promote our games, and play them online using #UKGEfromHome

Good luck to all the RPG Publishers and fans attending UK Games Expo this weekend. Post pics of your glee and fun! 😍

Wondering if I should do something for "not at Games Expo" weekend? Perhaps an impromptu online game of my current game in development of excitment, Star Plunder INC?

Lunch in Cambodia...

An early winner of the T'Internet today 🤣

I'm 30 years old, as a Convention GM this August. To celebrate I'm dusting off my old 90s RQ3 setting, converting it to OpenQuest, and running an updated version of the adventure I ran at Con Con UK 1996, The Temple of Lies. openquestrpg.com/2026/05/27/w... #ttrpg #openquest

Let’s see your face for the week! 🖤

While the hot weather is definitely slowing me down to a crawl physically, my mind is racing. Paranoia, delusional thoughts, MAD new WE CAN TAKE OVER THE WORLD AND THEY WILL LOVE US type rpg projects, all have been gently batted away, in favour of a calm, reassured mindset 🤣

Getting a grip on the outstanding OpenQuest books. A full backers update on where I'm up to with Swords for the Savage North, @thetweedmeister.bsky.social's Clock Work Palace, and Feathers and the Fury (aka the Duck Book) is coming after the weekend. But I've been having fun writing for Feathers 1/

Fantastic Odysseys issue 1 for OpenQuest, River of Heaven and Basic Roleplaying quietly went on general release last week via drivethrurpg. 47 pages of playable content and rules advice. Two full adventures, one a mythic OpenQuest adventure, the other a fantasy adventure for Basic Roleplaying #ttrpg

Wayhey, its over.(the Wyrd Sword Kickstarter that is). It funded and then some +6 stretch goals (including the Quickstart). Victory update tomorrow. Tonight I'm going to gently celebrate that I get to publish a nice shiny BRP fantasy book and share it with the backers. #Awesome #Winning

Just over half an hour to go, and one to three backers away from funding the last stretch goal. Come on people! 😍 www.kickstarter.com/projects/645...
