Oh I see Imgur is blocked entirely in the UK now. err... that's.. useful.. I feel so protected.

In front of the war memorial in my town, they leave a box of sand, full of painted stones, pinecones and crosses with poppies on them. It is the most weird syncretic magic pagan offering historio-haunto thing you've ever seen. And rings like a line from some war […] [Original post on dice.camp]

I was taught in biology class in school that being able to roll your tongue is a genetic trait and an example of Mendelian inheritance. This is false. It‘s a myth that science has long debunked. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/genetic-myth-textbooks-get-wrong

No one knows who is currently advising the right wing commenters but we have some clues.

There are a lot of Doctor Who lost episodes and many of them are found in skips in Ireland. Tailor of the Autons was actually set in Panama, but the budget wouldn't stretch to it so they filmed it in Whitehaven. #doctorwho #lacksbok

Chapter 5 "She watches the door" of the book "Ghosts of the British Museum: A true story of Colonial Loot and Restless Objects" is sufficient to run an entire campaign in CoC set any time in the 20th-21st century, with more details than anything Chaosium has put […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Two Cybermen having a vicious debate about whether the 48624 is actually compatible. "you will become like us.. maybe.. a bit.." "Is that Thomas?" Actually they seem quite excited for allegedly really logical creatures, so perhaps Cybermen are really really into […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Isn't this really sad. This is classic end of film with a dalek just trundling off after the person it wanted to exterminate has left on a train without it. You can almost hear the sad theme to the Incredible Hulk TV show playing. Poor poor lonely dalek. #doctorwho #Dalek

"This pair of small wings? Could be anything.. who's asking?"

The most dangerous man on earth is billionaire defense/spy agency/surveillance contractor (and JD Vance's sugar daddy) Peter Thiel. Here's more reason to believe that: He is giving secret (!) lectures claiming that AI is God's chosen weapon against evil and anyone who opposes AI is literally […]

"look orange smoke, it must be a sign of safety in gargoyles"

This oddly didn't take as long as I though it would. Purists might argue there were two other Bok models but this is funnier. #bokpropaganda #zozomademeblorbo #doctorwho

@deinol If you haven't got it already the Telos Publishing "Evolution of the Dalek Toy" is really nice independent book about Dr Who, and while about the toys, it features how they tied to the movies/and episodes and all the weird ways they were used in the program. Very jolly read.

Because there hasn't been enough Bok recently, I have made a helpful graphic to explain how 95% of memes conceptually work. #bokpropaganda #ebwhite #frogdissection

I bought this post card from the 1930s of the grande hall of the Paquebot Normandie as part of my attempt to waste time and money fruitlessly on gaming ideas I'll never finish. Anyway it strangely reminds me of an art-deco version of the Devil Rides Out were they […] [Original post on dice.camp]

"The lawyers came to look at Kobb To check his sculpting date. But he was in the public domain and orange smoke their fate."

"When the Rapture hit there was a surprising number of birds, some of them working as bouncers. It all made sense really after playing Runequest. It was meant to be the Raptor all along" #rapture #ttrpg #glorantha *courtesy of @publicdomainrev

A sea devil from Doctor Who realising with rising panic that in the oncoming battle with the Royal Navy it has brought a cymbal. Hence the Sea Devil expression "Never bring a fanglesnap to a gunfight" #themoreyouknow #doctorwho

Having lost these artificial settings, their lives grew void of direction and dramatic interest; till at length they strove to drown their ennui in bustle and pretended usefulness, noise and excitement, barbaric display and animal sensation.

What is the most odd random cargo you have ever diced up in a Space Merchant style game? I've just come across a note to say my players were illegally trafficking over 300 Trade Qubes of "Potable Meat Wands" #ttrpg #cargo

True random facts. A copy of "Vampires of the China Coast" has been sitting on my shelf beside me for years and I only just noticed it was written by Bok. You'd think this is the sort of thing I'd notice. #bokpropaganda

It is a little known fact that before any armour system is implemented in a RPG it is legally required that it is tested in real life for accuracy. Here for example is the BRP head location being certified. #ttrpg

This is the Marble Staircase (with statues) at Robinson & Cleaver Department Store. Donegall Place, Belfast. The store opened in 1888 and the only function of these splendid stairs was for @strangequark to descend in a video for kickstarters. It was in a sense […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Factoids about Doctor Who and the Daemons: Matthew Corbett (the puppet controlled by Sooty) played one of the satanic coven in it. He didn't really have any screen time with Bok though sadly. #bokpropaganda

More true than ever. 💸

One of the problems with having Bok as my blorbo (courtesy of @zozo) is that because his tongue is perpetually out he always looks vaguely horny and all positions look sexual. I was going to put in that this was what "Unlimited Class Wrestling" should actually look […] [Original post on dice.camp]

art reminder: do your art

@juergen_hubert I will buy any campaign setting based on German folklore you make for any game. So you got one sale already!

Anyone know who stocks the "Manner of Death" game in the UK? #boardgames

"Bok mocks the rather unlikely toy find today, a working 1976 Dinky Enterprise which still has its shuttlecraft and some photons" #bokpropaganda #oldtoys

Screamed at everything.

We are modernizing the user interface Pray we do not modernize it further

Another classic from Stephen Collins in the guardian

Finding the S T Joshi "H P Lovecraft: A Life" book in a bin outside the Red Cross in the rain is a bit weird. Kicking myself I didn't take a picture because it was such a weird tableau. Anyway book score +1 for "free"

When making era appropriate props for games, there is a lot of Colbert's Truthiness. Most membership cards, most letterheads were just typed, most notes just hammered out. And of course they'd be on new paper, pristine. But if you give those to players they lack theatre. We decide to age paper […]

@zozo Halloween Special Edition of Bloodsuckers with added Gargoyle?

🎶 she tolerates you, yeah yeah yeah

There is a point when you are cutting up slide film to make view master reels for a ghost game set in the 1970s, that you realise "I don't have an RPG group" and "I may have sliced through the cardboard" Not that this ever happens... #ttrpgprops

So anyway... putting together the prizes for #boktoberfest

@Faintdreams I don't know if you like or collect (or OOAK) the Rainbow High dolls but they're being cleared out/remaindered at ASDA for half price (I think). There were loads in my local ASDA but I assume it's a national sale. I noticed earlier and thought of you. 🎎

Two Typhoons flew over my house. I assume one of them is Jetflx? @zozo

They erased Banksy’s mural in London — just like they erase Gaza’s story every day. 💔

Hm… Inevitable, I suppose. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crrjwlvxknko #bagpuss

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a giant crab #yokai known as kanibozu. These creatures take on the form of priests and move into empty temples. If a new priest arrives to lead the temple the kanibozu demands they answer a riddle & if they can't solve it, they get eaten. #MythologyMonday 🎨Matthew Meyer

My attempts to find good resources for @Taskerland regarding spider trade and webs are apparently designed to confuse search engines. I do quite like the idea of people raiding the spider forest and stealing spiders themselves and think that's a very "oh the players have stumbled onto a spider […]

We go live to Apple explaining to a Regulator that it has many browsers in its iOS App Store, so cannot possibly be thwarting competition.
