My new #TTRPG book, Setting Europe Ablaze: The #SOE Sourcebook, is now available.

The SOE offers the perfect opportunity to play an #RPG set in the #SecondWorldWar where almost anything can happen.

I bought a set of polyhedral dice at a comic con recently. Today was my first chance to use them when my eldest ran a D&D one-shot.

First roll was a natural 20 😀

I was listening to the War Movie Theatre podcast talking about Who Dares Wins this morning. They reminded me of this excellent protest banner.

Wow. I got a lot of responses to this, far more than I expected 😀 Gotta love the fediverse.

I will be looking through all the replies, but I might not be able to reply yo them all. But I extend my grateful thanks to everyone that tried to help answer the question.
What would locking the column do? Would it prevent someone driving off with the car?
It was a large car, owned by Crown Prince Olav of Norway, so was probably a high-end model. It was probably British, but possibly American.

Any ideas?

Boosts appreciated.

Does anyone here know about 1930s cars?

In 1940, some British paratroopers "borrowed" a car. I'm trying to work out if they needed to bypass something like a key, or if they were able to just get in and drive off. [1/2]
Apparently I'm an old enough geek that I still have BNC connectors and terminators in my tool box. Just in case.
I've been playing RPGs on and off since the late 1980s. I have lots of dice, but until today, I'd never bought a set. Today my youngest and I went to the local Comic Con, and I bought a random set of dice.

Context/explanation: I'm https://gts.phillipsuk.org/tags/actuallyautistic and I hate shopping. By the time I get to a checkout, I'm very stressed and small talk will just make it worse. I use self checkout when I can, but sometimes that isn't feasible. [2/4]

I have a small RedBubble shop. I've just added a new couple of designs. They're probably even more niche than my previous ones, but they might interest some people here.

At a friend's house, and getting called out.
