Watching the new William Tell film. He can reload his crossbow even faster than Sharpe can reload a Baker rifle.

Yes, against Panzer Is & IIs itโ€™s a one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind.

Renault R35 from @warlordgames.com for the Gembloux Gap campaign for Chain of Command. Slow, poor armament, no radio, one-man turret, but decent armour. #SpreadtheLard #wargaming

I bought my wife flowers for Valentineโ€™s Day. She bought me chips. Weโ€™re both happy.

Knightcore the RPG An aesthetic that combines gleaming armor, soft, flowing fabrics, and ethereal, haunting radiance, now as a tabletop roleplaying game.

I just backed Knightcore the RPG on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mot... by @mottokrosh.bsky.social

He didnโ€™t like her tone, or he didnโ€™t like Toblerone? He gets confused easily.

Thatโ€™s one advantage of ECW, nearly all the uniforms are fairly generic and interchangeable. The red coat with blue cuffs of the New Model Army, as here, are one of the few instantly recognisable schemes.

Iโ€™m feeling creative, who am I?

A packet of chocolate biscuits in our house has a lifespan that makes a mayflyโ€™s look like an immortal elfโ€™s.

Age verification? I can look something up in this.

Excellent. Iโ€™m flying over for Salute, but if I canโ€™t wait until April โ€ฆ

Always felt the Deutschland video was the kernel of an entire Vampire the Masquerade campaign across centuries.

@lukegearing.bsky.social Hi, reading my copy of Swyvers; I like the idea of 2d10 to hit instead of d20, gives more consistent results. But average of 2d10 is 11, which will beat the defence of nearly anything listed. Intentional that most attacks will hit?

Name it after a known espionage operation? Mincemeat comes to mind.

Quite probably! Will it be on again next year? I may try to persuade my gaming mates I go to Salute with to try a weekend in Holland instead.

Whatโ€™s the KOTB inspired show? Never heard of that.

Take the top armour off and slap it on the front. The bottom too, if you think you can avoid the mines.
