www.bbc.com/news/article... (From Mastodon): You know your plan is garbage when Alliance, DUP, UUP, SDLP, and Sinn Féin are all on the same side. With one fell swoop, Keir Starmer unified Northern Ireland (against his BritCard).

I wrote a massive TTRPG setting guide encyclopaedia about the ancient Scotland and the Picts who lived in it. It covers everything scholars currently know about life in the 7th century, from landscapes to kingdoms to faith, magic, settlements, and so much more. Check it out! carvedinstone.scot

Current FOMZo resist, Konflikt '47 I will probably manage to resist it all, but pick up some Germans to use as Helghast Not that I had FOMO for it, but Trench Crusade seems to have gone quiet amongst wargames YouTubers I guess novelty is important for content

#RPG Ever had one of those sessions where the players are having their characters walk into certain death, and all you can do is pray silently that they turn aside or do something to avert that? Had that yesterday in The One Ring as the characters walked calmly, but more deeply into the Goblin Pits

Uh oh. Poland has urged its citizens to leave Belarus immediately and avoid traveling there. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges Polish citizens remaining in the Republic of Belarus to leave its territory immediately, using available commercial and private means.”

Well. Copying Russian policies on restricting and tracking your populace is certainly a choice

My laptop I mostly use to play LOTRO and do gaming maps is still half decent, but does not have the TPM for Win 11 Got it booting Xubuntu from an external SSD last night, tonight running LOTRO Next. See if I can get it running CC2 If so, another shot at getting in to replace the internal drives

Ran a play test of a "Vis Imperium Victoriana" one-shot today My first convention type one-shot I had written in 25 years Thank you to @elevatedpachyderm.bsky.social for inspiring me I was flipping terrified

I have reservations about the tone deaf editorials of "Miniature Wargames". Latest, "flegs!" Asking what and who, but not why I feel like it is kind of like the days when wargames mags used to advertise books of young women partly clothed in military uniforms "I only buy it for the articles"

My most recent 5 RPGs? - Dragonbane - TOR 2e - Vis Imperium Victoriana - Alien - Beyond the Brazen Gates

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world. 10 mins later a right winger linked to my book. 10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all. But that's how it works.

Getting close to the End of Dragon Age Veilguard It's a different game. An action game much more than an RPG The art style, I do prefer that of earlier games Enjoying it though Except boss fights You get targeted pretty much singly, giving you debuffs & staggers & unable to do much at all

Why, if they are scared shitless of women, gays, trans folks, brown people, and even the disabled having any kind of power (or in some cases just existing), is it called the "strong man" politics? "Pants-wetting coward" politics more like.

Great fun in Dragonbane tonight, almost got killed by dinner With a GM noted for rolling terribly as a player, infected us all tonight, to his well-deserved amusement

Mordor: 
Tom: Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill..
Frodo: shh, we’re trying to be inconspicuous 
Tom: By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! 
Frodo: will you just shut the fuck up?
Tom: COME TOM BOMBADIL FOR OUR NEED IS NEAR US!
Sam: I knew we shouldn’t have brought him

Just because I invite you to debate me on the objectively hateful & despicable things I say doesn’t mean that the things I say aren’t hateful and despicable. It just gives me a chance to repeat them.

The seventies were a dangerous time , if you weren't being electrocuted whilst trapped in quicksand, you would get bitten by a fox dressed as a stereotypical French onion seller sent by Euro-sceptics to scare you and this getting rabies Hours of entertainment From @world-of-telly.bsky.social

Today I learned that the fanfic horror once called "K/S" is now being called "Spirk" by young folk, who think they originated it They can have it

Reliving my teens by reacquiring this old thing. I do love a microgame. I remember using components and ideas from this and SPI's War of the Ring for my first attempt at a game design. Three warring computers who made and sent out units to try and capture resources. Maybe a bit of Rivets in it too

I sold all my Kings of War rules (apart from Historical) earlier this year. The 3rd Ed did not grab me, even though I had both editions of 3rd Got tempted to get the rules for KoW champions, nice small games But you can't buy the unit cards. Online app only. Deal breaker #mantic #kingsofwar

Can't have two characters called Harald/Harold, the poor folks will get confused

Oh that's interesting. If you hit "stop making that fucking noise" then the emergency alert goes entirely away and you can't read it any more. It's not in your messages or minimised, it's gone. That's stupid.

I was talking to someone who had been a customer at an excellent Teppanyaki restaurant at the corner of Ingram St and High St, won't name it Apparently he turned up hung over, still drunk and a bit disgraceful But was made into a happy drunk by a chef flipping a bit of spud straight into their gob

The most important news from today's reshuffle:

Terrain is all set up for the Battle of Five Armies at Colours tomorrow. Good to get here early, nice airy venue and plenty of familiar faces. Looking forward to populating the game with 1500 minis tomorrow morning and seeing everyone at the show! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard
