It's no surprise the UK supreme court confirms that the law it represents is an ass and can't deal with complicated things. Simplistic overruling abdicating it's responsibility to protect people. A missed opportunity and a shame. They are probably right to suggest there are no winners in this.

This morning I have been reading about the Munich agreement and the last time European powers attempted to appease an expansionist regime. The Anschluss, Sudetenland, Occupation of Czechoslovakia... the desire for peace abused by another nation through lies, broken promises, and aggression.

Rule: If you are in a vehicle and see an animal in a field, you must mention the animal by name. "Piggies!" If you are walking by a field and see an animal, you must make the animal's noise at them "Oink, oink!" I don't make the rules, but I am a rule-keeper.

1988/1989 Darksword Adventures by Weis and Hickman (of #Dragonlance fame) A world guide and associated #TTRPG system called Phantasia. Not that common a book. Intriguing! Has anyone tried it?

Today the universe is telling me it's about removing barriers to access. Next week will be about mending fences with neighbours. Also today: why I don't have any power.

My #autistic experience of social media like bluesky is the text equivalent of sitting in a loud club at a table of near-strangers, not knowing the rules, not really understanding the emotions, trying to engage positively, but getting increasingly lost.

Legacy boardgames have elements of rules and components that are permanently changed by each playthrough. Are there #ttrpg campaign settings/books with a similar structure? Perhaps with editable pages and stickers to indicate how parties have changed the Gameworld? Pointless complication?

A note to organisations. Recommending products and services to friends is not something I do. So the answer to "How likely is it that you will recommend our service" is 0. If your Net Promoter Score is a bit messed up, then that might be a contributing factor.

My #ttrpg setting's dwarves are shapeshifting otterfolk. My setting's elves use magic instead of tools, so many have no tool proficiencies, use no weapons, or armour. They were once the same people, but dwarves chose to have mastery of matter and elves mastery of magic.

Mugs of tea, thermos, dice tray and some mature folks. It's game night! Witchcraft RPG and it's the end of the world. And it's probably our fault. Again. #ttrpg
