Am now…

The real reason I'm leaving The Great British Baking Show Trump is threatening bombing the likes of which Tehran has never seen Prue Leith

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

Tbf I misread as written recently as read recently so please ignore me

Yes beautifully written and pretty short - arguably not that light but full of lines which stop you short whether funny or bleak

The Quiet American

I just published my first product of the year, a scenario for Twilight 2000, courtesy of Free League Workshop www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

Alex Pretti:

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.

The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Ditto - bought it on a heavy discount along with some other things - I liked the art but don’t have any connection with source material…but now I want to run it just out of whatever the word is. Have you read any scenarios?

That’s weirdly good (ie you could pretty much run it with an OSR rules set now) for so early in the print run.

There is no one else as good as her, nope

Thanks kind of you to share Brian

The first of the Dragonbane games was A Fight at the Opera by @12sideddice.bsky.social: nicely open-ended plot with plenty of scope to find our own way through it (it's available to buy too: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...) bsky.app/profile/12si...

This week I was reading my first edition of Chivalry and Sorcery (long story…) and noticed it had ‘ J Sutherland’ written on first page - maybe WD contributor Jon Sutherland?

#grogmeet last minute prep

When I say ‘journey’ I have not yet left actual station but what could possibly go wrong…

Journey to grogmeet suspiciously smooth so far…carriage to myself out of Euston

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.

But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Yochai going full-time writer and publisher should be headline news in TTRPG land!

THE CAIRNIES

I can’t remember the source of the account I read recently of some boys of similar age who actually got shipwrecked for (I think) a long time and who looked after each flawlessly. I think the book is a well written lie if it purports to be ‘how humans are’.

I wrote a monster and some scenario ideas for @pelgranepress.bsky.social Fear Itself & The Esoterrorists. As it is 2025, I threw in some random tables.

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. I focus on my dreamwatcher machine, making minute adjustments in all five dimensions.

The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity?

An image forms in the machine.

A classroom.

No trousers.
