Matt Thrower

One, but to choose which one it's the designer who most recently looked at Jupiter through a telescope.

My 80 year old Aunt reads the Mail, and it's left her terrified she's going to be a victim of crime now that Britain has gone the dogs.

She lives in a quiet rural village with a population of 214, and, Because of the Mail, she phones my mum in a panic whenever a police car drives past.

Wes Streeting is a murderer

People have been predicting this literally since shortly after the death of Jesus and it's wild to me how the repeated no-show over 2000 years never seems to dent anyone's faith that it's imminent all over again

Album Of The Day Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

#70 is Hot Rats by Frank Zappa. New to me. Holy God but I was NOT prepared for quite how hot these rats turned out to be. 5/5 1001albumsgenerator.com/albums/0WYYr...

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I haven't played this but based on this description and my plays of Res Arcana it sounds like Tom Lehamann has this genre all sewn up

And this is what I performed in the 2nd round, which wasn't enough to scoop the win but I loved declaiming it and waving my arms about

Thank you. It's a relatively recent thing, inspired by a friend who had a full on midlife crisis, quit his job, got divorced and reinvented himself as an artist. He's deranged, but it inspired me to try being a bit more creative

This is the poem that got me through to the 2nd round of my last slam. Possibly the only time you'll hear me reciting verse that rhymes

No it's a new AoS series out this week, called Spearhead. I know they're good value but only if you want all the models, which I don't. I just looked up the Lord Veritant figure, which I liked, and found some other Stormcast models I liked and got those :)

I wouldn't even pay 4p for a hammer round the ears

Gonna pass on the 9 games who make me who I am thing

Well in this instance it was Warhammer stuff off eBay so none of it went directly to either GW or Hachette :)

I bought a £3 magazine of Warhammer figures bc it was a bargain and it led me down a rabbit hole that cost me £40 in additional purchases so it was definitely not a bargain at all

I can't believe this exists, it looks awesome

Hey board gamers - your feelings an opinions about games are being turned into slop.

There's a channel called Board Game Critique. All their videos are clearly made with AI. They fess up to this, but they claim that they write their own scripts.

I cannot definitively prove that they don't, but 1/x

Yeah I tried Kill Team and quite liked it but I found having different rules for pretty much every model on the table a bit much

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. This was my first attempt last month bsky.app/profile/matt...

Also limited by a lack of other players

Trout. Trout.
Get them all out!
These are the fish
We can do without

And I am also dubious about Trout Mask Replica, although I haven't had the mandatory 6 listens after which you're supposed to "get it". I'm glad something that completely outre & bizarre exists though.

Although this is always at the back of my head since I learned it bsky.app/profile/matt...

Weirdly I already know Beefheart. I just never took the step into Zappa. Although I guess for many people the journey is the other way around.

I probably ought to after this because despite the naysayers honestly Gumbo Variations is proving pretty fucking incredible too.

I do have to go listen to some Echo and the Bunneymen first tho as I'm seeing them live next weekend, but I'll bookmark your suggestions.

People go on about Shadowrun but for my money 40k is the best fantasy/sci-fi fusion we've had

Pretty much everything about it is pitch perfect and I also noticed the ratchet. I've never heard Zappa before but this whole album so far is blowing my mind. Got the Gumbo Variations coming up next tho which I understand is a bit of a slog.

Sarah designs some fantastic RPG material - do check this out.

Much as I enjoyed this, I am secretly furious that they included two albums by Fairpoint Convention on the list and absolutely none by Steeleye Span 😡

Album Of The Day Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention

#69 is Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention. Mostly new to me. A great slice of folk-rock, with nice little flourishes of jazz, even if a couple of the tunes are a bit corny or wishy-washy. A Sailor's Life is absolutely fantastic. 4/5 1001albumsgenerator.com/albums/7isYi...
