Some cunt on his phone just drove through a red light whilst I was crossing. Sped past about three feet away. The only reason I’m not underneath his tyres is because my dog kept dragging on his lead. Good doggo.

I enjoy M-Space. I find it a neat little sci fi toolkit.

And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."

"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"

...Why are you doing that?

Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?

Don't do that.

I get what you’re saying. I have no idea about the specifics of your group, but as a generalisation, part of me wonders how much of this sort of thing is the influence of hustle culture. There is a growing commodification pressure to almost everything now.

I’d love some sort of clocking in mechanism for MPs that shows time spent doing work in their constituency.

As in something bigger and more complicated than your group? Something specific about paid GMing In general?

It would also tap into some sort of subconscious fear of rejection. Someone has left my group to play with another group. I’d know it wasn’t personal because it’s a job, but I’d feel like it was personal.

It’s nothing more than being called into work and having to cancel, but I’d have a hard time unpicking that cold fact from my emotional reaction; the feeling that they see my hobby as work, the annoyance that they still get to game and now I don’t. It would trouble me, even though it shouldn’t.

Petrol is the new toilet roll, judging by the queues spilling out onto the main road at my local Sainsburys.

If the AI robots want to use my body as a battery and plug my consciousness into a simulation of the late 90s they absolutely 100% have my permission

The softest, silkiest material in the world is Golden Retriever fur during the 14 hour window between being bathed and rolling in mud.

When they're both standing, my Shih Tzu fits perfectly underneath my Golden Retriever. He does zoomies through the legs like a Rebel Airspeeder underneath an Imperial AT-AT.

Unfortunately, today he did this whilst my Golden was having a piss. It’s unscheduled bath time! Wooooo!

The best die. Advanced Heroquest’s 2d12 tables instilled in me a lifelong love of the d12.

The pie was good. The slaying of brigands more so.

We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Today's game got cancelled due to illness so I'm going to bake myself a pie and roll some solo RPG dice. I might even do them at the same time. Ooh la la.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies β€” the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

This is the usual crap for how I key dungeons - one index cards per room with barely legible scribble on it. Easy to recycle if the PCs never go there, easy to amend on the fly as the PCs change the state of it.

I’ve heard the constituency name so many times this morning they’ve become non-words. So Gorton and Denton now sound like two Warhammer FRP NPCs that my players will stumble across squabbling at the roadside.

Charmed and fascinated by Chess Wars, a DOS game released in 1996 that features live-action cutscenes of medieval melee when playing pieces engage one another in battle.
