What's that.. some Wyrd Science and an Aperol Spritz?
Count me in!

Yes. Yes, I will! #TheBlackCompany! #GameholeCon bound.

The Black Company players rules with a bottle of water in the background. Chris’s hand is partial visible on a notepad with the start of a scenario on it.

I've enjoyed every episode of Carry On Up The Podcast.
Such a lovely celebration of these films, that're a true British institution.

Carry on Cruising was definitely a childhood favourite (on the TV repeats, I hasten to add).

Carry on Cabbie next week!

Folks, there are precisely TWO residential tickets left for Trick or Retreat!

22–27 October
Moira, Midlands, UK

£190 gets you a bed, food, and a few days of company with ~35 other lovely folks who like tabletop games, crafts, and gentle outings.

Info & tickets via
trickorretreat.uk

The counter of a long bar is piled high with boardgames.

The quiet room has been made cosy with draped fabrics, fairy lights, and comfortable chairs. A zine library is visible on a long table to the right, and a roaring fire is playing on a large TV.

A group of slightly blurry figures stand around a fire on a grassy lawn at night, considering how best to toast marshmallows.

People chop up magazine and collage the pieces together at a long table, making pages for the event's annual zine.

One of the games on my schedule got cancelled. Anyone up for a short pickup game of something between 3 and 7 Thursday at Gameholecon?

Finished book 2.
I knew who the mole was 😏
The trip to Amy's earth was perfection, "Hasta la vista, baby" 😁

You were right, a 'magic school' series in the Faust/Black universe works. It's really cool to see the characters developing and getting larger glimpses of the whole story.

Read book one yesterday. I'll be starting book two shortly.
Very enjoyable read, was sad Nora went through the portal, though.

Phew! That was a lucky save for the young elf.
Displacer Beasts can be quite tricky, their innate abilities drawing out combat.

What a great episode!
I've just finished listening to this; in what must be completely opposite surroundings to the party, still gave me a chill. Pen Melkein (sp) is such a dreadful place.
A couple of moments of real jeopardy kept me on 'the edge of my sun lounger'.
