Tea drinker, titterpig, teacher. Oh, and idiot.
Perfect album 90s that isn't blah blah (would never have named them anyway)... Don't take my word for this one, go listen to it.

Watching The Hundred (is it cricket?) Any player with a mullet should be 5 penalty runs, and another 5 if they have a stupid 'tache. It was a shit haircut back in the day, it has not improved.

A big success for TOR fellowship
@jimjimthegrim.bsky.social
@tashmakesstuff.bsky.social
, Joe and Pete last night. Absolutely battered the enormous, monstrous and terrifying spider. Appalling GM rolls to the fore. Honestly, it hit once. Rolled a gandalf to avoid the killing blow.

A wonderful evening of TOR, where
@jimjimthegrim.bsky.social
@tashmakesstuff.bsky.social
and Pete met an odd couple, set fire to cobwebs and made quick work of large spiders. Well, quick from the moment when they finally started to land blows. Nest burnt, eggs squished. But where is mummy spider?

@jimjimthegrim.bsky.social
@tashmakesstuff.bsky.social
Joe and Pete prepare for the battle of Lond Daer. After much planning, they persuade the townsfolk to essentially "hole up at The Winchester, grab a pint and wait for it to all blow over".

@jimjimthegrim.bsky.social
and Joe (no Pete) making plans, sending news, preparing for battle and the success of a madcap scheme that would be worthy of Bilbo himself. Lond Daer will stand and fight!

Whisky Galore is on. Pretty much perfect and just 82 minutes long. Pointlessly long films? - take notes. (See also: pointlessly long books that just waffle on? - learn from Agatha Christie) Thank you for attending my TED talk.

Pete and Joe get in a little local trouble and take out some Tharbad trash. Also, due to amazing GM rolling, we find out that combat can be very dangerous.

This heroquesting lark is bloody marvelous! Kill some seriously dangerous chaos - check. Befriend a grateful shaman - check. Have one of the adventurers "seal the deal" with a helpful water spirit - check (and get gifts). My character doesn't mess up being an inspiring leader (yet) - check.
