Highlander in the Borders. Academic. Here for the RPG chat, mostly. Groggish. Emerged from the deep freeze a few years ago and trying to catch up...not interested in your political views, or trial by social media - take that to 'the other place', please.

I run a free #TTRPG Discord called The Raspy Raven (link in bio) that organises a diverse range of games across the globe and occasionally we even produce scenarios to buy and meet up face-to-face.

It sounds like a promo, but I'm very proud of the community we've created & the many gaming memories.
Talk about something you’ve done without being self-deprecating challenge

Creative technologist, game designer, producer and writer, ABS @abs.ventures created a genre-psychogeographical game (that we printed full colour), titled 'Fir Fae-Eyes Only'!! 🧚🏽🧌🦦 Get a wee taste & maybe a hint* or two at the launch!

In Sweden so a quick stop at the local (Lund) gaming shop - first foray into The One Ring, couldn’t resist the Alien Game Mother’s (!) screen and Ikhon for Mork Borg. Fine Scandi fare all, a little cheaper than in the UK, but no P&P makes it worthwhile - at least that’s what I’m telling myself 😏🇸🇪🤓

the Fenris co-pilot's in for surgery again tomorrow, bless his heart, so doesn't currently understand why theres absolutely *nothing* for him to eat.

thoughts, prayers, ko-fi, orders via the shop all very much appreciated!
Next time you are in Edinburgh and fancy a dram let me know - I've recently reactivated my membership to the Scotch Malt #Whisky Society, which is an Aladdin's cave of deliciousness...

With authoritarianism on the rise, book bannings through political censorship, minorities targeted, it’s never been more important to stand up for writers, communities and the books which have been challenged. Join @indexcensorship and booksellers in #bannedbooksweek.
Read.
Read banned books.
Eldrin doesn’t really understand the point of tents, but sees the raw materials as a real resource. Just wait until we need some fuel for a fire, a parachute, or something to wrap prime meat with 😁

Tonight's Dragonbane featured foggy barrowdowns, a tent too precious to be used as a digging tool, too many too-tight tunnels, crudely-made ducks and not enough rope with @dampscot.bsky.social @madbeardman.bsky.social @amacdon6.bsky.social @jonac.bsky.social @ottomancer.bsky.social

Infested with a wasting sickness that prolongs its existence while simultaneously eating away flesh, this shambling mass of travelling disease is so big that the smell preceding it is normally enough to give adventurers clear warning of its approach. Pestilens Maximus, our 4-piece 160mm tall giant.
That actually sounds pretty good! 😂
A must visit whenever I’m back in Manchester - Idle Hands for great coffee and pie (key lime this time) 🥧 ☕️
Was trying to decide whether to dip my toes in the #Alien or One Ring systems - have plumped for the Alien starter set, which looks great! And I have few sci-fi things but *oh so many* fantasy systems/supplements already…thanks for the advice @cottonmouthmcr.bsky.social
Infiltrating the temple via the sewers, navigating plague rat swarms, meathook-wielding butchers & cursed shrines with a plan (of sorts..) to avoid cultists and find ‘the thing’. Thanks @jaje7406.bsky.social, @daftoldefart.bsky.social, @blythygrog.bsky.social, Ste & Charles for the usual #DCC fun 😁⚔️

@amacdon6.bsky.social has fled the wilds of Scotland to run DCC Sunday for us. Alice the Cooper will don her chainmail and grab her spear once again. With @blythygrog.bsky.social @daftoldefart.bsky.social Charles and Ste
On my way to that there Manchester again for more ftf #DCC fun with The Expendables - session 20 of our ongoing shenanigans (!). Harley Stroh’s Blades Against Death is a bit of a corker 😏
I do! Just haven’t found the right box yet 😂. I think it was called Aliens: Earth War and it was a slightly bonkers story about Ripley, Newt and Hicks trying to save Earth by capturing an Alien queen (or something - it was a long time ago)
Been inspired to look out some of my old #Aliens comics from the early ‘90s - some lovely cover art, and looking forward to rediscovering the innards (so to speak!)

Also new to the Fenris shop this month: A OWL

Another re-released Otherworld model, sculpted by our very own @snuurg.bsky.social and now part of our range.

A OWL, though.

Enter the thrilling world of Fritz Leiber’s Nehwon, home to the legendary city of Lankhmar and the infamous heroes Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser with our 50% off sale!

Check it out: goodman-games.com/dcc-lankhmar...
Fantastic! Thanks for that - have just ordered the boxed set 😊
Looks like the 50% off hard copies doesn’t apply to the UK/EU store? Or am I being a muppet?
I like the wilder one! Think it suits his personality more.
