It really sucks how much vet bills amount to nowadays, and I hate to think how upset you must be from the worry. Have sent you a Ko-Fi tip.

Finally got a chance to play Glorantha: The Gods War - a boardgame I’ve had sitting unplayed on my shelf for bloody ages! What a great game! Lovely game figures and board and really fun gameplay. Ok, you need a football pitch to play it on, but Timothy Payne has that perfect pitch-sized table πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ».

Also his seamless replacement by my new character, Siegfried von Schmuckler, fencing ace and failed super soldier.
We cracked a sinister plot involving Tongs and rare metal smugglers on a remote asteroid, and now find ourselves enmeshed with an exiled cult of Venusian heretics.
Top stuff!

So this weekend’s epic instalment of our long running steampunk game saw the retirement of my old character, Gong, a kung fu master, who in his time had won the world’s toughest martial arts competition, and kicked the head off an elder god.

I never fancied Roll20, FGU has been nice for D&D, but frankly feels quite clunky. I do almost everything on Foundry, and don’t have the spoons to try anything newer unless it’s stunning, simple and world conquering.

I was just thinking of the Judderman advert too! Deranged in the best way. It was such a shame that the alcopop it advertised was so shite 🀣

As the Mignonette went down, The Illustrated London News, 20 Sept 1884, p. 268. b/w drawing of a yacht sinking in rough seas. A small boat can be seen to its left.

It is, today, the delightful 141st anniversary of a charming nautical tale involving three shipwrecked sailors in a small boat selecting the fourth – a sick, weak 17-year-old – to kill and eat. (Yes, today’s #OTD comes with a content warning: bit nasty, really)

If they make another Star Trek movie, can we have James Gunn direct it? Not because of his directorial skills; I just think it’s about time a narrative included Gunn’s Chekov.
