As seen on anitwitter since 2009, departed those accursed shores for this new land. Anime, international relations, history, home decor, outdoors, scifi, TTRPGs, Pittsburgh & Western PA, a timeline veering wildly. Too old to blog, too young to die

Tomb World comes out and everyone thinks the Deathwatch team will be OP.

Turns out the Canoptek Circle is the OP one based on all the tournament stats!

Hierotek Circle remains one of the best teams and possibly OP.

It's over: I've already depicted you as the seething broad gauge train, and myself as the smug narrow gauge!

A sketch of two steam trains, human faces on the front. The title above them says 'The Broad Gauge and the Narrow Gauge'. The narrow gauge train is looking unbearably smug, then broad gauge absolutely raging. In the smoke, they are communicating, the broad gauge saying "You are a locomotive" and the narrow saying "You are another".

Still thinking of this spelled as F8 of the Fellowship...

ExecutiveOtaku @executiveotaku.bsky.social · 16h

Friends hosted dinner and a game so we played LotR: Fate of the Fellowship. Really fun and importantly, easy to learn.

Each player plays as two characters and I went with my OTP Galadriel and Gimli. I went aggro orc fighter, cleansed Dol Guldur and Isengard and kept the north clear for the others.
