Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Take the clown statue and get out! WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS!!! @brainmage.bsky.social · 2h

I made a game a couple of weeks ago! For the very first time! Nearly 5000 people have played it! It's on the international games database! That's mad! PLUS it's about attempting to strangle a horse and dying in many, many ways! What's not to like!?

AND it's free!

Ok! The "learn to play" games at our little FLGS have gone VERY well and we're booked up for yonks. Seems demand exists. What if we went all out and did a weekly Troika Westmarches style megadungeon? We kinda have one ready loaded

Oh, right, this goes live today. I should probably say something.

Yes, exactly! Everyone can agree real quick that circuses aren't good! Get it done in 5 mins and move on.

Well, it's a fair bit more than that. Labour's promise was 'change, but without bein inconvenient to anyone ever'.

The greens seem to be able to name their enemies. It's a good place to start.

The Culture ship transmissions, but it's supermarkets and out of town big box stores. The tragedy of watching your one true love (the big Currys near Tesco) be shut down to only be reanimated as a B&M.

I think you should write 16 pages of this.

Ah, yes, we can entirely agree on that! Hopfully this attention and membership swell is galvanizing for the crustier end of the Green Party.

I mean, I like to think that talking big (and not in a wishy washy way designed to obfiscate) would lead to big simple actions like "just ban circuses"

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."

I really think he's hit on something with his repeated 'everyone is bloody tired and feeling poor' line. I'm (personally) not too worried about technicalities of policy right now, I am just happy someone is speaking for us.

This is the copy of the WFRP 4th edition rulebook that I used while writing the Enemy Within Director's Cut. I put a notarized statement to that effect in the front, vaguely intending to auction it for charity.
Since I was laid off, I now need the money for rent and food.
Would anyone bid on this?

I’ve been really enjoying my copy. It looks amazing, the quality of the writing is incredible (love the article by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social) and it SMELLS great (remember getting an annual on Christmas Day?)

Treat yourself and support independent magazines.

Finally, ages after other people started getting theirs our main shipment of mags made it through customs, cheers Brexit! The gift that keeps on giving

Anyway, here’s some low effort marketing for an incredibly high effort magazine, buy a copy today, you get a cool magazine & we get to make more

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:
