When I typed the post, I did feel a little lump in my throat.

EIGHT years.

I had hoped to do lots and lots of sequels!

I'm curious about commission painting. How does it work? What does it cost? Do I know anyone here who does it?

I have finally accepted that, as much as I love buying, building, gaming, I just really dislike painting those minis.

Bilbo looking at his phone top

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right β€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Hello! Are you in the UK/Canada/Aus/NZ? Did you discover RPGs through any of the paperback-book games released in the mid-1980s (Fighting Fantasy RPG, Advanced FF, Maelstrom, Dragon Warriors, Tunnels & Trolls)? Can I ask you a couple of questions for an article? Please get in touch.

I’ve finished watching Alien: Earth and, as they did with Daredevil: Born Again, Disney have managed to make a reasonably IP-flavoured show, while just missing that actual IP ingredient

Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 is like writing a book.

You get to what you assume must be the end, but then it just never ever stops.

The number 1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Finally making my way through my reading/audio pile. Have to say that Realm slayer by @warlordguymer.bsky.social is a lot of fun. Brian Blessed certainly appears to be enjoying himself.
