In which I talk about zombie dinosaurs, Grange Hill, expectations management and the role of the word 'No' at the gaming table - and why we might need to use it a little more?

You're playing Scum and Villainy, you're low on Stress and you absolutely, positively must not have a flashback to your Imperial military past. No. Absolutely not.
Oh well....

Evidence the climate is changing? In Newcastle we called the autumn half term holiday 'Blackberry Week' because we would pick brambles off the bushes at the back of our village.
This is the 2nd batch I've had so far this year from one bush on my garden, 3 miles from where I grew up, 2 months early

I just finished reading Fight with Spirit by @storybrewersroleplaying.com. It's great and I'm buzzing to try it out soon
It did get me thinking about that messy space between gamers and sport. Are sports related games interesting to you, or is there a disconnect with sport that makes them not work?

I won our office football predictions league for the 2nd year in a row today. 13 points clear at one point, but my colleague forged a remarkable comeback in the home stretch, leaving me winning by only 3 points in the end.
If nothing else goes right today, I've won more this season than Arsenal...

All set up for tonight's session of full fat Star Wars Scum and Villainy. Our reluctant 'heroes' are in possession of the hottest item in the system, so they have obviously headed to a den on iniquity to handle it. Oh, and their engines are buggered too. Shame if those bounty hunters caught up?
