Yes! I'm both and this observation is spot on.

I feel this skeet captures something of what it's like to be a writer in 2025.

One step beyond

Be prepared for the chapters to vary in length. Some of the early ones are very short. Enjoy!

I've just read that Zelazny. Really enjoyed it. Wish it had occurred to me to read it in 'real time'.

“Ah you’re struggling to find pleasure in reading? Have you considered making it stressful? Maybe adding a pass/fail element into the mix?”

Try putting the bhaji in the CD player.

I read this too fast and momentarily thought you had made up a sachet of Angel Delight preserved from the 1970s.

Yeah I watched it -- ouch.

Great story. Felt very real.

Appreciate your alt text here. That Abalone Nights is gorgeous.

Ah, the redoubtable Pelikan JT3467aca7865b. A fine model.

I wrote most of Hana Feels in fountain pen. Which pen are we talking here?

Enjoyed that. The University convention you ran Squadron UK at was probably Conpulsion.

All the time.

We made a long drive to play this and it was totally worth it. Some real head-twisting, impactful moments. Ideal for a convention game.

Last time I was in an NYC game store, I spotted some sealed Mythos CCG boosters on a high shelf and blew the last of my spare dollars on them. They had at least a quarter inch of accumulated dust.

GMs have a lot to remember and are constantly improvising in response to unpredictable players. The intriguing curiosity might be more dominant in their 'impro brain' than the fact that it is a secret.

Go to a big bed shop IRL. Try the weird scanner thing if you like, but don't put too much stock in its opinion. Lie on every single mattress you like the look of. It's worth investing in a good one because you will get huge value out of it.

We took that game to Greece too :)

If you're going to @tabletopscot.bsky.social this year, booking just opened for my Sunday morning RPG, Disco Ambulance: tabletopscotland.co.uk/product/spir... Don't snooze if you want a seat.

Mad healthy, I hope.

Let us know when your game gets listed. I couldn't be online when booking went live, so the only thing I have booked is my own game!

This week was a good one for gigs. Bookended by King Diamond (Monday) and Zombina and the Skeletones (Friday).

Whatever happened to 'non-Euclidean'?

This is really well done. Worth a watch if the news is getting you down.

If I understand what you're asking, they need a direct link to the image rather than the page containing the image. Right click, "Open image in new tab" then cut-and-paste the address listed in that new tab.

SHOOGLY IS IN THE OED LET'S GOOOO

Also a really good beer shop. Much rarer than they used to be.

An email acknowledgement. It shows a five-pointed star and the text "You're attending Canyon of Blood Listening Party".

Possibly unwise life choices, item 2746:
