Hello there, new folks! I'm Caelyn, I'm a queer, disabled writer from the UK who covers wargames and miniatures at @rascalnews.bsky.social. I like videogames, RPGs, Transformers and other assorted nerd stuff.
I'm in this post and I do like it.
trannies with a divorce under their belt just fuck better

I'm in this post and I do like it.
Getting myself to a game! I live in a city with a bunch of clubs I'd like to check out, but I'm disabled. Up to a couple of hours travel on public transport or £20 taxi fares to meet some strangers who might turn out to be transphobic arseholes is a big ask for a game.
Oh! What’s the hardest part/process of miniature games for you? Like building, painting, trying to find someone to give a non GW game a shot, or trying to read the rules?

From last week, @newmadras.bsky.social reminding me that I need to play Hearts of Wulin. Again.
Seriously though, if anyone is planning a game of this on a reasonably UK friendly time zone, and needs a player, hit me up.

Soup drama, relationship drama: Road to Empress' success as a streaming game phenomenon tells us there's a lot of potential Hearts of Wulin lovers out there.
Hearts of Wulin is a parade of over-the-top feelings and action at the same time
I love a game where the best thing to do is also the worst one.

I can't recommend commissioning The Kingbo highly enough. They're absolutely fantastic to work with, particularly on fantasy characters, in my experience.

Luna - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper
A personification of the night sky.
One of my favourite paintings. It makes me miss personal work. Eventually I'll figure out a balance where I can paint just to paint again.
Prints are on INPRNT if your mom would like one for xmas

This goes for mobility aids in general, but I want to talk about wheelchairs; I am somebody with four entire conditions that would each warrant one for ambulatory use on their own, and I still had imposter syndrome about it. You, however, should get one if you have even a faint idea it may help you.

The jumble of bones looked like porridge. It turned out to be a new species of pterosaur preserved in prehistoric vomit, the latest fossil find extracted from dinosaur excretions. I’ll tell you more in my latest for NatGeo. 🧪
How dinosaur vomit has solved these prehistoric mysteries
A new pterosaur species was recently discovered in the vomit of a dino. But that's just the start of revelations from prehistoric excretions.
