Everything just becomes so underwhelming the older you get. It’s been years since I’ve found a highlighted item on the ground

Messing about with @handiworkgames.bsky.social backdrops. It’s a hobby within a hobby! Addictive too I bet. “Just a few more backdrops/scenic scatter/ picturesque outcrops” and before you know it a whole day and £90 gone! All of the minis and conversion bits are Bronze Age from @fenrisgames.com

he's a cunt, but he's not a trillionaire yet. plenty of time for him to fail those targets.

Moots: pretend I don't know anything about pdf handling and software, and am aware of the new Affinity deal thing that has possible ai issues. What's my best bet for software allowing me to edit and produce pdfs for print? Thanks!

A slightly better shot of the Yelorna temple residents. I really loved painting this lot and a bunch of fun conversions too. Next up undead. Or beastman. Dunno! I’ll decide tomorrow. @fenrisgames.com

temptation to fuck work off for the day and just watch @realgdt.bsky.social 's Frankenstein on Netflix instead intensifies

I can’t believe Pelgrane and Gareth Ryder-Hantahan are turning this meme into a TTRPG:

using the Mythic Iceland rules for a First Law mini campaign I set up a situation where the party's chief was challenged to a duel in The Circle, as per the books and Logen Ninefingers' many chalkenges therein. A fantastically tense setting to get your PCs into.

I'd not seen this in 25+ years but *so* much of it was instantly remembered, watching it last night. shots and frames of animation absolutely seared into my brain. meanwhile films I'd last seen a couple of years back often seem half remembered or nearly new. how does that work?

I'm predicting a bunch of new anthropomorphic megafauna from us next year because of this...

Someone might read this and say "Hey, Where is Guys Like Me? Where is It's Not, where is You Do? Where is Freeway? Where is Little Bombs" But I say, Hey, there are enough amazing Aimee Mann songs to go around because the woman can do no wrong. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

having finally watched the Eggers Nosferatu, I propose that the tavern Thomas Hutter visits early in the film has the perfect pub ambience

The danish for spooky (or uncanny) is "uhygge" - not cosy

Let's raise some money for Oz! I've got a Christmas Red Gobbo, painted by me, with some flame effect, that could be yours. I'll start it as a blind auction, DM me with offers over £50 and the highest by the end of the weekend wins. I'll pay for postage in the UK and all the money goes to Oz.

Here's my quick and dirty version of the John Lewis Christmas advert.

vet update: Monday's biopsy unfortunately hasn't provided enough material to work with so I'm back to the surgery again on Monday seeing the senior vet to discuss further options and costs for Oz. He's a bit brighter this afternoon than he was earlier, HUGE thanks again for all the love and help💓

Beorn Dunlending has finally had enough of those elves not returning his linens in the state they were loaned. New werebear model, coming soooon

UK Moots: I need somebody who knows their way around pdf editors and who has a valid copy of same to help me with a (hopefully!) quick bit of document editing (page re-order, insertion of blank inner covers) sometime this afternoon/early this evening, if possible. Thanks!

THIS IS SO GOOD

I'm just going to keep Reposting this for the next four days. Help me help a dog. You get a #Necromunda gang. Oz gets help with his vet bills. Everyone feels better.
