"Hoist the Jump Drive!" all aboard for the most epic of epic campaigns as we discuss Traveller and Pirates of Drinax in the latest GROGPOD. Featuring Matthew Sprange from @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social thegrognardfiles.com/2026/04/12/t...

'If you were in charge of Star Trek, what would you do?' Euthanasia? I think Trek has run its course. Make new things instead. That said, I absolutely adored Lower Decks, so...

Having finally had a good night's sleep and recovered from #Salute53 yesterday (it wasn't the con, it was the 11 hours travel!), today I shall be drinking coffee and having a leisurely sift through all the cards and leaflets I picked up and checking out websites and making a wish list.

Hot off the press is the #Salute53 #wargaming show report video, plenty of footage of the most of the tables and games and four interviews with game hosts. Check it all out here: youtu.be/RVnObdTkVRI?...

@fenrisgames.com I had a look at that resin you mentioned. Very impressive. I grabbed a leaflet for further investigation. Depending on the price, I might try some out.

Watching the rather excellent 'The Other Bennet Sister', despite being purely historical, has made me interested in Regency Cthulhu again and also Silver Bayonet, a miniature skirmish game set during the Napoleonic wars and featuring supernatural creatures.

Elin suggested at the restaurant (overlooking Exeter cathedral) that it would be nice to visit the Cathedral Christmas Market later in the year. Lo and behold, scrolling through Facebook when we got back to the house and there was an advert for Exeter Cathedral Christmas market! 😐

Click on Screen Rant article. Scroll scroll scroll past the adverts and pointless waffle to the very last paragraph at the bottom where I finally find some vague non-news relating to the click-bait title and left wondering when I will ever learn. 🙄

Holiday hobbying so far. Some pieces I've had maturing in their primer for a couple of years finally made it to the desk.

He's not dead, RFK is giving him a treatment of leeches for his necrotic skin rot. He'll be back to make our lives a misery again soon.

I'll believe Trump is dead when I see it. And then I'll have a wank.

Flew from the Faroe Isles to Iceland in my Cessna 152 in Flight Sim. I set it to pleasant breezy day, which I felt was probably highly unlikely for that part of the world so, once I landed, I put real time weather on and instantly got white-out conditions and 40MPH winds! :D That's more like it.

Watching Everything Everywhere All At Once. Struggling with it a bit. I like the idea but it's so chaotic and moving at breakneck speed. It doesn't help that the accents are difficult to understand too. It's had a few genuine laughs so far even though I don't generally care for slapstick humour.

Here is my portfolio too! www.artstation.com/uk_resistant

[FOR HIRE] Is anyone looking for a part-time, Art director + VFX + Environment + Game + level designer type? I am looking to supplement my current work slate! I wear many hats & can wear 1 or all for your project, all for indie friendly rates. DM/reply if you are interested. RT's appreciated!

Presumably there will be ICE agents waiting at the landing site to arrest a couple of them when they get back.

Our podcast episode on the Blake's 7 story Power is out now! Find it at Libsyn, iTunes, Spotify, Audible and elsewhere. #Blakes7

Mixed up a batch of @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social 'Marine Juice' to try out. Part of my eternal quest to find something to replace my beloved Agrax (now utterly ruined). I hope I like it. I've got a LOT of it. Test subject on the end from GoonMaster on MyMiniFactory.

Stranger Things completed. Top notch. Very satisfying conclusion too. And then I noticed there are two seasons of the Witcher that I haven't watched!

One episode of Stranger Things 5 left. I don't know why some folk were so down on it. I'm really enjoying it. I'm guessing not everyone will make it to the end credits and they've even set a couple up, probably as red herrings. I just hope it's nobody I like. (Trouble is, I like all of them :D )

Episode 6 of Stranger Things ground to a halt in a couple of place but I'm still enjoying it. Two episodes left but I've decided to leave it for today as my brain is a bit overwhelmed. Reckon I'll binge the last two episodes tomorrow.

Episode 3 of Stranger Things 5 and my main thought on this one is that these 'kids' might save the town but they're all going to be going to prison for a very long time! :O A few belly laughs too. The scooby plan to tag the Demogorgon was very entertaining.

Live action Banksy.

So, Stranger Things 5. Two episodes in and it's okay so far. I know folks whinged that it was slow and padded but I feel like these characters have earned a comprehensive sendoff. I only have two issues so far. First is Mr Wotsit. Was his identity supposed to be a surprise twist? 1/2

Well, I suppose I should finally watch the final season of Stranger Things for the sake of completion.

I made a zoomie friend! #papercraft #spacecar

Looks like a pretty dark version of Mr Benn.

I know it's probably going to be about £400 but I've been waiting for this for about 30 years. Time to rob a bank, I guess. If I can find one.

Christ I'm bored. I hate being in between fads. Sigh.

Giving Battle Angel Alita a go. It's bog standard fayre but enjoyable. Feels like an 80's straight-to-video B movie made with 21st century technology.

A trick that I think Cyberpunk 2077 missed, is the ability to take an off the shelf weapon, mod, craft and upgrade it to Tier 5++ quality and give it a name, creating your own signature legendary weapon instead of just inheriting everybody else's.

I dreamt last night that my neighbours kid had a wooden sword. 'What's its name?' I asked him. 'Swords must have a name. It gives them power.' Fuck knows where the hell that came from. A lifetime of Dungeons and Dragons, presumably.

I imagine most Cyberpunk 2077 players have done one of these. This one is mine :D

My labours are ended for the day. Think I'll go wander around Night City for a few hours.

Thoroughly enjoying The Other Bennet Girl on the BBC. I always thought poor Mary was given short shrift and so it's nice to explore her character and her life. Ruth Jones is fabulous as Mrs Bennet but I can't say I care for nasty Mrs Bennet, though. That didn't feel right.

I've never seen Johnny Mnemonic before. I understand it's terrible but I'm having a bit of a Cyberpunk fad and 2077 withdrawals, so I figured I'd give it a go.

Watching a YouTube playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and it suddenly occurred to me how much loveable lunk, Vik the ripper doc sounds like loveable lunk, Baloo from Disney's Jungle Book and I'm wondering how intentional that was.

Note to self. Treants in D&D are fun but don't last long against a party armed with fireball spells. In fact, if it's last in inititative order, it won't actually manage to do anything at all. :( RIP Treant.

Youtube subscriptions used to simply be listed in order of upload with the most recent first. Sadly, that was far too intuitive, so now I get a handful of old ones as recommandations first. Sigh.

Finally tried the Wolfenstein game that I bought from Steam recently (the one where you start in a crashing plane with a Scottish pilot). Killed repeatedly in the tutorial prologue because I couldn't figure out where to go or what I was supposed to do in time. Fuck that. Goodbye Wolfenstein.

I was nine years old and I thought, 'None of this makes any sense.'

Still true.

We will be running some 7TV games at the Bedford Games Expo tomorrow. If you fancy a quick game of Night Terrors or simply a chat about our cinematic skirmish rules then pop by. Thank to Morgan Nash for his support! www.bedfordtabletopexpo.co.uk

I was trying to find a way to describe how I'm feeling yesterday but couldn't put my finger on it. This absolutely nails it.

After a conversation on here the other day, I was reminded that I'd not got around to reading the Spellsinger series so I hopped along to Abe Books to set it right.
