Game designers bring to life to Scotland's mysterious Picts Writers and archaeologists also worked on a new guide to a lost early medieval Scottish society.

You also got some coverage on the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Might be worth looking at the pbta design ideas, to build a system that reinforces the themes and ideas

The other option that might work well is to use the Powered by the Apocalypse design, or Forged in the Dark, which would work well for setting up the archetypes in the setting.

Wondering which system you are using for this?

It looks like D&D 5e, so you might want to look up 5evil from @handiworkgames.bsky.social which is a horror adaptation for 5e.

Could suggest looking for a spare Figaro. We ended up getting some spares of the favourite here, also then discontinued, on ebay.

The Connexion | The Countess of Huntingdon’s Connexion

Also add in that there is the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion www.cofhconnexion.org.uk

And also the whole relationship between J Wesley and George Whitefield.

Methodism being an ecclesiastical structure more than a theological one, with different theologies working within it.

Name change was 1928 (legally by act of Parliament 1933), i think to do with the union of the Weslyan, Primitive and United Methodist Churches.

Possible that 9pm being not long after dusk, and thus the beginning of the liturgical day, so the opening of the Easter celebrations.

Was in my collar and a suit. But think this may have been some of the ruins of Christendom in action. 2/2

Went to get the bus to church this morning. As I was about 15 minutes early decided to walk a little in the sun. As I got to next stop and checked how long and working out how many stops along the route I was likely to get, a car pulls over and offers me a lift as they though I was running late. 1/2

Listening to Rowan Willams talking in the creed at Wholeheartedly monthly with the @methodist.org.uk "Before you ever speak to God, remember God has said I love you"

Will try, journey so far consists of reading Pratchett, hot chocolate and chatting to an Archbishop.

Yes, it is part of our discipline. It tends to be a joint work between circuit and outgoing minister

Also on leaving, don't commit to do any funerals after you have left.

Also for beginnings, work with a creative ignorance. Read what background you have to, but for other matters make clear you don't know and ask folks to explain things to you.
