Meet my new #Outgunned PC Billy "William was a hero cop He didn't break the rules He didn’t break the mirrors But what he saw reflected, broke him …& the Watchdog looked back through the cracks Now, in case of emergency, Billy Vargas is here to break glass" He's updated his old work vest. #ttrpg

Created a new #Cy_Borg character yesterday. He's a Shunned Nanomancer & has a second mouth on his belly that whispers things to him. Just realised that's pretty fitting to match with my new abdominal scar. I hope it doesn't open and whisper eldritch secrets to me...or do I?

What thyng it is that wommen moost desire? Koude ye me wisse, I wolde wel quite youre hire. 👇

If someone can't make the #ttrpg session we're doing one shots, rather than campaign or cancel Today to test the Roll20 sheets I've made: Billy "The Watchdog" Vargas for #Outgunned Bunny Sullivan for #SlugBlaster Shaky Cam for #Cy_Borg Marshall Stack for #WorldWideWrestling Aaaand....I am spent

Hehe. Came up in my Facebook memories today. #ttrpgs.

Oh...I am so IN! Honestly I was already in, but this just confirms it has swallowed me whole and I am right in its belly. youtu.be/cmjpadVj-Vk #Werwulf

The T-Up (Tech upgrade) rules for #CyberpunkRed are really good, especially along with the Nightmarkets. They really build out the idea of Night City as a post-war film noir/black market/scavenger type of place. Made for an excellent time working out with the GM how to develop my best tool...

Things you wish you'd written. Perfect post from Joy (who I don't know) on Threads here.

Poking my head out of the air conditioned bedroom to see if the heatwave is over yet like

A lovely engineer came to fix the leak in the airing cupboard today. Now he is gone I would like my brain to stop the refrain of Plumber is icumen in Lhude sing cuccu You can sing along here youtu.be/sMCA9nYnLWo?

Talking about #HazbinHotel this morning, particularly this absolute banger. youtu.be/5eZonu8XsEs But really every song is incredible. Particular favourites alongside this are Poison, Out For Love, Hell is Forever, Piss a Love Song, and Vox Populi/Vox Dei

"The radiation count is way up and the heat wave ain't expected to let off either, weather control tells us that it will probably hit 110 downtown before nightfall."

Eeeeee! I repeat EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

A brilliant thing our #CyberpunkRed #ttrpg GM did last session that I absolutely loved - though we didn't realise what was going on until we were dealing with the consequences! During the mission we found ourselves in situations/offered opportunities by people/interests around the location 1/4

Look, he wanted a "reflecting pool" and that's exactly what he got.

PSA: its St John's Eve, so if you want the power of invisibility during the coming year you need to gather the minute spores from along bracken leaves tonight. Carry the seeds in your pocket when you need to walk unseen.

In the last day of the longest day, a wild fox touched my hand with her nose 🦊

PSA: Word has reached my ancient ears that young people are now calling tramp stamp tattoos “cake toppers” and I am here for it.

Not got a present for #FathersDay or #Solstice? See here! It's my Dad reading #cyberpunk thriller Bad Sector ❤️ You can make your dad this happy with an ebook, KU or hardcopy from Amazon. Buying one, or sharing the post, would make me happy, too 😍

Happy Solstice! While the Sun is in her nest be like the wise mice of Brambley Hedge. Stay cool in your shady cottages, people.

Happy Father's Day to the world's best Dad! Here he is, in the fanciest hat, mid treasure hunt,with my mum Will be poisoning the Gotham water supply later. I guess a penchant for deadly mischief is genetic Also not looking too bad for 80 & nearly 78, so relying on that end of the genes as well.

Had a fantastic #CyberpunkRed session last night, then stayed up to watch the sunrise while eating ice cream.

It's finally #CyberpunkRed tonight after 4 weeks. We'll be right back into an in-progress situation with a cybersnake assassination attempt & no healing time so damage carried over Status: Medea Rezz (PC, Medtech,) is 6 HP and 1 Armour point down Nic (Human player) is 5 internal organs down

Look at these beautiful fox dice I got for my birthday

Today we celebrate the day on which Frankenstein and I were born, both in the shadow of angry Because we can't meet in person, and I know you would buy me a birthday drink if we could, you can spend £2.99 on our book and that way we both get a present 🎁 Link in bio & shown in images #Cyberpunk

Well, phew.

Today is Birthday Eve. And here, ahead of those presents, is my Anabasis or "Safe Return From The Underword" present from @cydethan.bsky.social - an onyx scrying mirror engraved with the image of my apotropaic death's head moth And the artist put a magician tarot sticker on the packaging 💀🖤🦋

I really meant it!

It's my birthday next week and I'd love to have you all over, but I had major surgery two weeks ago so I can't really... But - here’s an idea - you could buy Bad Sector instead of buying me a drink. It costs less in ebook format and you can keep it! It's like we both get a present! Link in bio.

The biggest danger to my stitches so far: a conversation about night farts with @cydethan.bsky.social Laughed so much I had to hold a cushion over my wound! We are very sophisticated people.

The story is in the comments

I'll tell you what though - the post surgery healing mechanics in this "real life" game are for shit. 6 weeks to heal 5 layers of stitches? How unrealistic is that? I have adventuring to do.

OMG adverts! Is this where we are? You're calling to cast me into the fire? My spirit endures! I have the constitution of a sturdy pit pony and I'm well ahead of the healing/rehab curve. No cremation money for you!

Adventures in recovery today - remembered just in time that you don't turn the light switches on with your feet because you've got sticky hands when you have abdominal stitches! Phew. Kung-fu monkey assassin self must stay in her nest a bit longer.

We are rewatching the brilliant Nightingales with Robert Lyndsey. It would make a brilliant #ttrpg - each night as a one shot scenario, continuing party, light system. If you're not Gen X from the UK and don't know what this is, I urge you to check it out. It's on YouTube First episode here

Is this what they mean by a bubble butt?

Today I've discovered black herons. They literally hunt with shadows The heron stands in the water like the villian in a gothic melodrama, curving its wings round like a cape. 1/3

Just caught a moth out of the air in my hands! I think this proves I have passed all the crone tests now and my accords with the moth folk who protected me through my metamorphosis are all set in silk.

Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you wanna do tonight? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world! www.iflscience.com/a-human-lang...

Jackdaws fighting on the rooftops (oh, my brain just sang that in Bowie's voice) making a proper racket! There's 4, which seem to be 2 pairs, or at least 2 sides, doing some impressive aerial combat dives, wheeling and spiralling with much screeching and cawing... 1/2

Since I was a child I've always found washing on a line, especially if it's flapping in the wind, oddly exciting and joyful. I'd never thought about why but I guess I find it liminal. Not so much the line of washing itself, although it can work as a threshold that can reveal/conceal things... 1/2

No, scientists! Don't make bread and beer from yeast found in the stomachs of 5,300 year old ice men! How many times do you need to be told? www.dexerto.com/food/scienti...

If you reduced all French TV pop performances of 1978 down to a rich sauce, this would be the result.
