Spent last Sunday painting 32mm Tusken raiders. I'm prepping for future sessions of WEG's Star Wars RPG. Bought lots of minis and then realised I need to assemble and paint them. Great details though, and an easy surface to paint on. Still got a bit of touching up to do. Next: Guavian death gang.

My copy of Robert Bloch's Strange Eons (1979) has finally arrived.
"What men know of is called science; what they have not yet learned they call magic".

Received a copy of B4.5 Beyond the Lost City adventure module today. This item elaborates on specific areas in the original module that were left for the DM to do. Postal charges from the USA had been hiked up. Thanks to Bad Mike's Comics and Games!

Budgie's book The Absence has arrived. Such a sad start to his tale. Really looking forward to meeting him in Bath on Monday. Last met him during the launch of Superstition in 1991. IMO, the world's best drummer. #budgie #theabsence #bath #siouxsieandthebanshees #thecreatures #therapy

Friday travelled to my first gaming convention, the UK Games Expo. Thanks guys for the way you've organised it.
It's a huge affair and incredibly busy.
I was overwhelmed by it all, and a great testing experience for me personally.
Fab community to be a part of.

So no-one else has spotted the Mixtec/Aztec turquoise pectoral mosaic in Andor? Or what resemble chiwara headdresses from Mali? The planet Earth is in Star Wars. #andorseason2 #StarWars #britishmuseum

A recent trip for me to see one of my best friends, artist John Swogger and his wife Freyja. We all met back in the 90s when we discovered we had TTRPGs in common. We ended up playing Call of Cthulhu, and John was Keeper.

Slayers are on a outing to watch the film #Nosferatu.
Egger's film nicely honours Murnau's original adaptation of Dracula.

Next week (Session 33), after 28 hours of play, our Slayers have reached the finale. Will they defeat the evil Strahd? Will their characters find a way home? Or will the Mists take them elsewhere?

Part of what I do for Dragon Slayers is create new adventures, or rewrite existing ones. Earlier this year I rewrote TSR/WotC's B4 The Lost City

Painting minis is a therapeutic activity for me, much like food shopping, which is a cheaper activity. This 1990s zombie has been retouched with modern paints. #Vallejo #paint #miniatures #ralpartha

My dad Robbie Eccles (rear of photo) was a bass guitarist in the early 60s. In Vince and the Volcanoes, then The Harlems which backed The Chants in '64. When Helen Shapiro backed out of playing in Liverpool with the Beatles for a TV gig, my Dad's band replaced her.
