Capital game of Dragonbane tonight! We trapped a bastard wizard in his bastard lair but the bastard kept teleporting around it. Our own wizard has been slain but we hope only temporarily. We will bring him back and we will have our vengeance against this eldritch bastard!

Anyway, if you are making a silent film, consider hiring a pastel artist because such art titles would really enhance the authenticity.

I obviously agree with all of this. However, I think the American far right has been diverging sharply from the baseline shared reality for at least a quarter of a century

This is a damn fine philosophy, @ryanshirlow.bsky.social! It works for me well

Listened to most of the new Cardiacs album and it's fucking fantastic. A really special accomplishment, and packed full of utterly banging tunes. 10/10, solid job lads.

Cthulhu Mythos Keeper Advice: Masks of Nyarlathotep is not a huge burden to run, and you can finish it in a year and a half if you run it weekly. It's a rollicking, globetrotting pulp adventure and it should be run as such.

5 things that make me happy • My cats and also their mother (who eschews social media) • Playing RPGs with my buds • Ancient monuments • My 2000AD and Fortean Times subscriptions • Doing my art stuff

Honestly fantastic weekend of games at #OBaWS! Thanks so much @asako-soh.bsky.social for organising! And thanks to the wonderful players and GMs - I thoroughly enjoyed every game!

Topped the night off with Gardener’s World and a couple episodes of The Horror At Fang Rock - Monty Don and Doctor Who is a good combo

Feels like Autumn today and that's put me in a very Halloween mood 👻🦇👻 Last year it didn't feel Autumnal until the end of October so I'm happy about this.

The people of the Wirral are now free to beat carpets and toot trumpets on the beach! Is this your doing @kehaar.bsky.social ? (Brilliant to see you today mate!) www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Right, off to the Pug! #OBaWS

Of course, the important question now is, is anybody down the Pug yet? #OBaWS

Jolly excited about Owlbear tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing far-flung friends that I usually only see as little boxes in VTTs / on Zoom.

It is with heavy heart (and, unfortunately, deep affection) that I must reshare a snippet from the 1980s masterpiece “Yes, Prime Minister”, in relation to Russia’s drone attack on a NATO ally.

It’s late this year but I’m happy to announce that today is our annual UXB In The River Leam day here in Leamington Spa! Near Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre this time, so a little further East than the last couple of years

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

My cats were freaked out by the emergency alert. It's a very unpleasant sound, for sure.

The issues with ID cards are not really about whether they’re popular. Plenty of stuff is popular and still a bad idea. The key questions are 1) how they will be used, not just by this government but by any subsequent government. 2) who will be in charge of them? If the Home Office, then worry… 1/3

Wasn't Trump supposed to make an announcement today? Am I confused or was it supposed to have happened at 1900BST?

Just once, I'd really like Labour to pander to the Left.

Holy heck! It’s now less than TWO WEEKS to Owlbear @asako-soh.bsky.social ! Woooooop

Replace the Sunday fear with an even bigger fear, of death perhaps or a giant spider

ceo caught on video stealing a hat from a kid at a tennis match. ceo caught on video cheating on his wife at a coldplay concert. guys i’m starting to worry cameras make ceos turn evil

Lil bit of very shaky footage from today @ottomancer.bsky.social

Know a guy; be a guy

Customising my Peli case for tomorrow's filming. Going for a super-minimal, run-and-gun setup because it's going to be a chaotic shoot I fear. Very pleased to see that my monopod fits inside my case, that's a gamechanger. One camera, one lens, some fiddly bits of grip and a sound kit is all I need

As we seem to be talking ECHR again, here’s my Venn Diagram from more than a decade ago.

Love to live in a J.G. Ballard novel

Fantastic screed. @k000.bsky.social , you’ll love this, given that we are both haters as well!

Game night cancelled. Three men down. Can’t be helped but still, vexing!

"Is your air fryer experiencing feelings of doubt?" "Has your electric toothbrush expressed interest in enrolling on an evening course?" "Are your noise-cancelling headphones refusing to acknowledge their violent past?" "4 signs that your cordless vacuum cleaner is questioning its sexuality"

Just about to watch Superman and I’m genuinely excited about it! I’m in a mood for a cheerful superhero movie

Humanities people are constantly telling tech people "you're missing the context of this sci fi story entirely" and tech people are like "we should defund the humanities and also check out how neat my killer robots are"

SHIELD WALL!

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books

A birthday mint julep, made with a lovely Kentucky rye that my wife assures me that the cats purchased for me. Delicious!

"Skyrizi’s intent is only to be a force for good and progress and not at all to control or influence the affairs of the sentient flesh puppets who use its highly advanced products to treat their weak genetic makeup and or poor lifestyle choices."

Oh wow, this is a solid bit of industrial art history! WEIRD TECH BITS, SLIGHTLY TO EXTREMELY SINGED. I've seen SRL live twice, utterly mind-blowing and honestly the loudest thing I've ever heard.

Went on a train trip to the past - a lovely taste of the 1920s and a must for any Call of Cthulhu aficionados!

Excellent game of Traveller tonight! My Baron deliberately walked into an obvious trap, relying on Sarge and Raffi to pull him out - which they did, but now what? Difficult times! @viscountjonkeer.bsky.social @k000.bsky.social @fenrisgames.com @andyhemming.bsky.social @edoffannyside.bsky.social

I have new spectacles. Changed my style of frame for the first time in a decade. I *think* I like it!

this article exists because i realized it would be far easier and less eye-twitch inducing for me to just link to this article whenever someone asks me, for the thousandth time, if it's legal or a good idea to shoot at drones, jam them, or attack them with eagles

Genius

I mean, I hate to turn Bluesky into endless shilling for my own fiction, but: store.gollancz.co.uk/products/lak...

Humans innit

You don’t win an award for being the most not-surprised, is the thing

Every American needs to remember that Russia is only able to invade and terrorize Ukraine because, in 1994, the US and UK convinced them to give up their nuclear weapons. They voiced specific concerns about a Russian invasion. We promised to protect them. Trump wants to break our promise.
