Charity shop find - decent condition, couldn't really say no, could I?
Proof of life, #DeltaGreen: The New Age, 64 pages of absolute horror, coming soon!
Next month (uk) - the fourth (main) Tyrant Philosophers book, with my most bombastic ever title.

After 45 minutes, I can't say much yet, but I like
#AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms better than #HouseoftheDragon. It captures the mood of the underlying short story well, even if details have been changed. The dance scene was great.
I'm looking forward to the next episode...

In @asako-soh.bsky.social 's Cthulu game at Grogmeet I played an embittered old man with a liking for alcohol who yearns for retirement.
...and people say that I don't have range.

Second game of #grogmeet yesterday was a Stormbringer/Young Kingdoms game of Everywhen (Barbariand of Lemuria) - fantastic gonzo fun as we deposed a pirate king. Great GMing from @firstage.bsky.social

Home. Dog on lap. Reflecting on #grogmeet. Thanks @amacdon6.bsky.social for twisting my arm to attend. Great games by @jaje7406.bsky.social, @dailydwarf.bsky.social, @ottomancer.bsky.social & Tall Tom.
Great to catch up with the old Grogs and meeting the Young Turks. Bodes well for the future.
Thanks Barry! Great to see you! Enjoyed your Dr Stephen Daker!

Had a great time at this this years Grogmeet. Thanks to @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social and Blythy for organising. A Very Cthulhu Practice with @asako-soh.bsky.social had us uncovering a dark experiment at Lowlands Uni but we had Jockβs medicinal support.
Also a menhir heist in Deepwood Shadows

Good to do Bushido together! Great session
Came back from #Grogmeet last night to avoid Sunday rail chaos. Itβs a shame as I didnβt get to catch up with a lot of folks post-con. Still lovely to catch up with those I did.
Still, I played some excellent games of WFRP1e, Bushido and Everywhen. I also ran a QuestWorlds Glorantha game.

Back to π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ after another brilliant #Grogmeet π. Had some great players (and just enough β οΈ stamp action π) in my #DCC funnel, played Dee Sanction, SW Age of Rebellion, WFRP and Vaesen and had a blast at all of them. Thanks to the fantastic GMs and players. Is there a better con anywhere?
On the way home from #Grogmeet. A fantastic couple of days of gaming. Lovely to see everyone. Would like a cuppa. Pub was loud and my voice feels like it's dropped an octave. Now I need to make sure I don't fall asleep on this tram @clownf1st.bsky.social so I don't end up at Manchester Airport. π

#grogmeet done.
Very appreciative of @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social & blythy for putting this all together.
Fantastic GMs @thermalsatsuma.bsky.social & @paulbaldowski.bsky.social and a bunch of wonderful players and folk to chat #ttrpg nonsense with over a pint or a brew.
Such a lovely weekend at #Grogmeet - superb games of Bushido and Shiver and enjoyed running my Call of Cthulhu/A Very Peculiar Practice game @chaosium.bsky.social
Out now on UGMs, a tight 1 hour #ActualPlay #TTRPG of @meghanlynnftw.bsky.social and @superdillin.bsky.social 's excellent duet game, HUNT(er/ed) - can our washed up police inspector find the Vampire haunting the East End of London?

Last paint of 2025 was these wolf rider goblins and their hangers on. Took a long time to work through them. So much detail. #warhammercommunity
So much of Anglosphere social and political discourse has been irrevocably altered by allowing people who hate the idea of society to be in charge of society.
