Tomorrow, our "Whispers from the Grove" campaign begins, as a circle of druids go missing, in an area that looks suspiciously like Loch Lomond

Sam was inspired to run this campaign by the ongoing attempt by Flamingo Land to build a theme park in the area

It's been rejected twice, thankfully!

"The Land Out of Time"

What if Littlefoot never found his mum? What if @samsighs.bsky.social was let loose to run a game focused on the last dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period?

What if we told this story using Ten Candles? What if we got a knockout cast to come play?

Yes, what if?

"Can we be friends?"

The simple confidence of a small kid asking if you want to be his friend is something we seem to lose as we grow up.

Our Wanderhome game, raising funds for the Museum of Homelessness, was such a delight.
