Rare depiction of @dracowie.bsky.social from his uni LARPing of a Sartarite warrior in Apple Lane. Note his fashionable ‘80s hair, before the stress of practicing medicine led to his “distinguished of Dundee” hair style he now models.

A rare depiction of @dracowie.bsky.social LARPing days back when he was a wee fit lad in public school. What was the name of your LARP charactor Doc? And what year was the LARP set in?

In light of @dracowie.bsky.social ‘s continuing boycott of Australia, Manchester et al & his upcoming tour of Garycon- two questions remain. Does this make him a “Stunt Gaz” & has he been made a Guest of Honour/ Honor at Garycon?

Also on the Gorge- you could adapt the plot for different locales. To misquote Kenneth Hite- "why not set it on Glorantha"?
Once Glorantha fans see the film, I'm sure they would come up with some locations and variations. But I'm not going to indulge in spoilers here.

Suggested RPG system for "The Gorge" pt2 - adapting Nights Black Agents Solo Ops by @robindlaws.bsky.social @kennethhite.bsky.social @mytholder.bsky.social swapping the characters around for the player for different scenes. This would allow for a generic skills set for 75% & allow different scenes

Suggested RPG system for "The gorge" pt 1. Questwords by @robindlaws.bsky.social for a GM & 2 players. Slight issue with both characters being snipers and therefore having a fair amount of duplicated skills. Best stress different motivations to act as significant keywords. Longcon format?

Just finished watching the horror-thriller- bit of romance film "The Gorge" on Apple TV+. While there's a number of plot holes, its a pretty effective film, set in on the two banks of the Gorge- once staffed by an American sniper; the other side by a Lithuanian sniper who fall for each other.

And yes, while the new edition of Questworlds is generic, a commitment from Chaosium to start publishing a new Questworlds Glorantha book a year would be great. Still the best system for Glorantha.

It's been a long haul to get this new edition of Questworlds published and it's disappointing that its only available in PDF at the moment with POD promised in a few weeks and a normal print run promised a lot more vaguely. & let's revise those HQG setting books/ adventures for the new edition.

Excited and or curious about @robindlaws.bsky.social 's Questwords? The editor/ revisor of the system @icooper.bsky.social has been posting a lot on bluesy explaining the system. Patreon backers of Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff may wish to ask Robin direct on his system and design thoughts.

So Kickstarter backers of 7th Sea Khitai have received an update from Chaosium saying all the outstanding rewards (basically everything that isn't the core book & map) have been cancelled. Refunds are offered. A long & winding road which has ended up in a dead end.

You can choose to speculate publically on what a revised Runequest might look like or sign an NDA to see the current draft rules. Personally, I prefer to indulge in some not always serious public speculation.
Ok - Jeff, Jason, and Mike Mearls have been working on a streamlined RQ for best part of a year. Will we say good bye to Strike Ranks? , Resistance table? Hope it keeps basis of combat and hit-locations experience. Let the wild speculation begin!
