The Royle Mail always delivers. Thanks @nicholasroyle.bsky.social!

Played Dolmenwood for the first time last weekend, Winter's Daughter. It was excellent. Opened up a whole vista of play options.

That's disappointing.

I got thrown out of the House of Lords.

I only ever saw the titles.

And the replacement has grown a bit.

I didn't know, but I found a piece of it. And noted that the doom promised in a rhyme on its fall hasn't come to pass.

The perspective on the elephant isn't quite fierce enough.

Yep. Good random tables engage with the tone of the game. And also teach the GM.

Random tables for various uses, names, places, encounters, treasure, moods.

A personal favourite.

Post something from the 70s.

I've played 21 sessions of which 5 new games, Merryshire Detective Club, Cörk Børd, Dragonfly Motel, The Black Company - which were all playtests, and Swords Without Master.

I don't think it's this one but it seems to cover the same ground, books.google.co.uk/books/about/...

If I can find it, I will.

I've got a lovely book on critical theory that looks at various different approaches and what each is trying to do.

Recently finished running a short campaign. It's great.

I'm busy that day but as you're recording most of the sessions, I'll be very happy to watch them later.

Just watched the whole of the Haven series. Might try the Librarians next (again).

I've never got it in one, but I'm very happy with two.

I played letroso.com 02/11/2026 and got it in 2 guesses.

JK Rowling should be so proud.

I did some group coursework where only one other member of the group turned up. We got told off for not including them and they got the same mark us, which was A+.

Playtested this last month and very much enjoyed it. Kickstarting now.

Playtested the English version last month. It's very well done for a weird and intense experience.

I had a least half of those but I sold them all a while ago. I had detached the maps so it was a bit of a chore to sort them out, but I'd not written in any of them.

Nation Geographic Magazine from August 1930. Contents include The Conquest of Antarctica by Admiral Byrd Receives The Society's Special Gold Medal of Honor, Working Teak in the Burma Forests and Strange Tribes in the Shan States of Burma.

Nice but given the Byrd edition from 1930 is Vol 58, this should be a few vols earlier.
