As I transition from 'that place' it struck me I should warn people who follow me what they might be letting themselves in for?

- Luke warm opinions on RPGs
- Capsule comments on our RPG sessions
- Pics of adequately painted minis
- Tiny bit of promotion for my blogs/Patreon
- Geordie dad humour
@profanity.accountant ... Tell me the obvious?

Right, UK gaming folk - Revelation is an amazing, focused convention in Sheffield. Quality games in a great gaming location.

The early numbers have traditionally been threadbare and I've been forced to use a Cold Hard Stare to convince people they like fun.

Lets not do that this time. Come play!

On the bus to work, the driver is playing a podcast on 'The Short History of the Panama Canal's across the speakers. I approve. More of this!

I have way too many things to promote. I'm going to end up diluting my message! 😓

Let's start with the Kickstarter for GRAVITY, shall we, which is doing much better since the self-pity boost last weekend. Still need £640 to fund though -- that's 32 more hard copy sales!

A one-shot TTRPG about powerful people in a bad situation.

Playing Daggerheart on Sunday, we experienced something magical...

[DH in Theory] - No! I'll keep going. I'm attacking again. You can't have a go, I have the spotlight because I'm special!!

[British DH] Would you like a go? No? Are you sure? Anyone else want a go? Please say? Are you all sure?

It struck me last night how quickly I have fallen out of love with D&D. Not seething hatred. Not sitting in front of a keyboard spitting bile about it. Just an absolute numb apathy to it. There's nothing about it that fills me with joy. Just a ball of meh. That came as quite a shock as for the...

I just backed Gravity: A Roleplaying Game on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/pot...

If it's anywhere near See Page X, it is definitely worth your consideration.

It says something about the age range of my followers here, when my most liked post of the year is one about an inexplicably injured back!

You old gits!

By the way, it was fine until I tried to pick some cat food up at Aldi. Some people simply don't learn do they?

New middle aged achievement unlocked. I've managed to pull a muscle in my back by (checks notes) picking up an RPG book. It's just been one of those days.

I have far too many games I want to run and far too few players and too little time to do so effectively. Bollocks.

My 'glance not read' brain saw this and leapt to the conclusion that *Babylon* Five was getting a second chance!

This morning, I find myself thinking about LongCon next year. It's my turn to take the GMs chair back and initially I was 100% in on Spectaculars. However, having a full weekend shakedown of D&H2 is appealing too.

I'm going to have to consider how carry things too because that's changed recently 🤔

At the weekend, I was challenged about what I liked so much about Daggerheart. I couldn't really put it into words, but after some reflection, now I can.

It does things I want to do in a game like that, in the way I want to do them, so I can work with the system rather than fight against it

Rare footy post: weird commentary last night, criticising AG for not doing enough in the game, over a montage of his crosses from the left, being missed by Kane et al. I pondered at the time, who is playing on the right? I honestly couldn't tell. It was Saka. He was anonymous. No-one cared.

On the off chance that England win the ICC Women's World Cup, can we just have the BBC SPOTY Team Award go to the concept of English Women's Sport please?

Another session of #daggerheart Saltmarsh with @eddieap76.bsky.social

Naturally, we looked at a formerly haunted house with a route to the sea, and our captured cutter, and thought 'location, location, location!'

Some stellar negotiation, copious uses of prestidigitation and giant power, and we..

So I just watched a horror movie, intentionally, for the first time. The Conjuring. It nicely confirmed to me that jump scares and spooky shadows do nothing for me.

I think that a lot of the problems might be solved by not having inside locks on every bloody door, and not designing houses with..

Exploring my gratis TNT Sports subscription I have been trying to understand baseball. I *think* I understand now, after watching the second Yankees/Red Sox wild card game. It's not terrible but I think it needs more statistics, analysis and impenetrable game-related jargon before it's a real sport😉
