Only just seen this and Cloud Empress already sold out! Curses!

I know this isn’t the focus of the post, but it’s made me miss the Pev deeply

But was it worth it? Really?

I loved her Arthurian trilogy. Wonderful stuff

Would being of Numenorian descent be considered β€˜doping’ or result in failed drug tests?

Would Frodo have had his yellow jersey stripped from him, should the Gollum affair ever come to light?

So many Tour de Middle Earth questions…

Who is publishing this? It sounds fantastic!

You know when you discover a band that’s entirely new to you - somehow - and have loads of great albums and you spend a month in haze of awesome new music?

It’s good that, isn’t it?

They missed the obvious β€˜Ale’ll Be Back’ joke as well. Shocking. Truly shocking.

You mean… I’ll get what I fucking voted for, rather than this fuck-witted Tory wankery?

It sounds great! A not dissimilar premise to the Tuesday Night Club Murders, and some of the other Miss Marple collections.

Little cosmic tech Rogue Trader Space Marine, ya know, just for fun.

Make sure to air drum, but not too vigorously.

There… there is a RuneScape TTRPG…

Dreams are older than brooding Tyre, or the contemplative Sphinx, or garden-girdled Babylon…

Aragon goes with Frodo to Mordor, and is not for a moment tempted by the ring - β€˜such trinkets and their power were for civilised men. Not one born to the wilds, who had fought wolves before he was a boy. Let the soft southerners vie for such a thing, he would pursue only its destruction.’

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It is the platonic ideal of a Pride & Prejudice adaptation

My favourite form of fantasy, it’s sword and sorcery, and my favourite form of RPG is slightly weird… which is why I’m very very excited to back this!

Guaranteed to horrify and amuse!

Grogmeet was awesome, amazing to see friends and play games, plus eat Bundobust. I have also managed to acquire Obijima and Ryutaama, without planning to, so am apparently in an unconscious cosy Ghibli phase.

Which given the absolute horrors I’ve been unleashing in the games I’ve run is a shock
