Thank heavens America has a written constitution, otherwise who knows what Trump might do?

Really well thought thru.

I might actually go out and get wander about in the hope of meeting him. Will he pay well?

Slightly freaked out by a Magpie having just tapped on my office window. Our eyes met and then it flew away.

It’s a sunny day in October - not the start of a folk horror story hopefully!

What’s happening in the US shows that a written constitution is no safeguard against bad actors.

Have to try and beat Reform, not put in place imagined constraints for when they win.

Bless him. What a lovely boy.

Pre 1937. Ireland still marked up as β€˜Irish Free State’ and coloured pink.

Intrigued by the premise of clockpunk roleplaying in Da Vinci’s Florence? Owner of Gran Meccanismo without ever having run it?

Why not take a look at my newly published scenario: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

The idea that Churchill did some sort of ascetic physical regimen is hilarious.

I’m guessing he’s never seen the Monty Python Four Yorkshiremen sketch.

On the shopping list, once I’ve played it next month.

I’ll run MERP at one of the cons, using the paper standees.

A policy the BNP only dreamt of, articulated by a Tory front-bencher. The party of Churchill, MacMillan, Thatcher, has fallen to the Mosleyites.

I note them on my timesheet. My brain is clearly working (if not entirely functional)

It’s great fun. My 14 y-o loves it, which I didn’t think was a given.

I need to try and find Krell.

This is my substitute.

Perhaps we should suggest the Vlad Dracul β€˜makes you focus’ method?

Wow. You have an actual Krell. I have chaps who substitute but not the real thing.

Nice to see Arron back in town tho. Thought he’d perhaps retired to a cut price Bond villain set up on Lundy or something like that.

Ran a WD WFRP scenario the other week which featured an NPC called Knud Gropenfrotteur. He only had a bit part (oo-er) so the joke was totally wasted.

Have had so much more fun since I embraced randomness rather than having a β€˜typical’ character which I adapted for all the different systems.

I’m all in for a campaign for more interesting and varied small talk tho.

I think I have all bar one of those Skaven.

Wish I had some of those Dr Who ones.
