If the below applies to you, why are you putting out pumpkins in the first place? It's a stupid US custom and I never understood why it took hold over here.

Happy #Caturday lovely phone family. How's everyone doing?
An important reminder for those in the UK. Our little hoggy friends are already struggling and need all the help they can get 🦔🦔🦔
Have a beautiful day 🌷

Screenshot of a social media post. Test reads: Hi Everyone in the UK, a reminder about disposing of pumpkins after Halloween Night . Please do NOT put these on the ground for Hedgehogs to eat in Gardens, Parks and Greenspaces. Pumpkin acts as a laxative and will cause hedgehogs to have serious diarrhea and dehydration. At this time of year it is vital that hedgehogs put on as much weight as possible to give them the best chance of surviving winter and hibernation. Help our prickly friends and local wildlife charities who help look after sick and injured hogs.

That was great fun, a tidy little mystery to kick things off.

Mixing it up with a whole load of badduns' (including the two on the right).

Great fun as always.

Good to know, I'll start with that.

I need to put Linux on my 2015 MacBook Pro... still solid hardware. What's you recommended distro for day to day use?

Well done chaps!

That's crazy, but also brilliant!

Smashing. I'd be looking to start prep over Christmas, fingers crossed it'll be ready then!

Very cool title. Grogten is mid-January, if it's ready by then I'd be happy to play test it.

Fantastic scenario and great rules. I played it, I've run and read it numerous times.

As for last game before Crimbo, I haven't planned that far ahead...

Ooh, I don't think I have. Would be interested to play test if I can slot it in (maybe one for Grogten!)

Tabs for indentation in coding, but for spaces between sentences?

I'm not a writer, but I learnt to touch type on an old type writer in college in 1982/83 (at the time thinking it was a useless skill, how wrong I was). It was always 2 spaces after a full stop and I only broke that habit 2 or 3 years ago, TBH it wasn't hard to change.

TBH I've not bought anything from a WH Smith since I worked in Liverpool city centre before covid and since working from home, but still I protest.

Sounds like you're saying skill rolls should only be made when something is at stake which I totally agree with. Keep the game moving and don't roll for trivial stuff.

Old Scouse Roleplayer @oldscouserp.bsky.social · 13d

Or GM panics when no one makes the roll & still lets you spot the thing. If you want PCs to see or find a thing to move the game forward don't put it behind a no-fun skill roll gateway, just let them have it if they look in the right place & move onto more interesting stuff (as you say with stakes).

I had no idea this was happening, it's the end of an era. And such a stupid name change, I wonder why they bothered.

If you are looking for an artist then do check out their portfolio, the art in Crucible is amazing.

Old Scouse Roleplayer @oldscouserp.bsky.social · 15d

Checkout the latest issue of #NMtDRzine, it has a great review of Crucible by @potatocubed.bsky.social. The fantastic art is by @fl3shdog.bsky.social, you can check out their portfolio at fl3shdog.com and I know they're open to work (because they're my daughter) if you have an upcoming project.
