Hi, my name's Dave Axbey. I'm mostly here to follow mini painting, palaeo, baseball, tabletop, indiepop & gunpla folks. This is my second go at Bluesky 'cos I was following FAR too many people with my first account! Like, just a ridiculous number. He/Him

Don't know if it's the same in Canada, but in the UK it's standard that when people bump into each other, you both say 'sorry'. If I apologise and the other person doesn't, I resent them heartily for breaking the social contract...

Every order at pittrapshop.com gets this small zine as a gift. It's just an A6 booklet, mainly about the shop, but there's also a small Mร–RK BORG dungeon, a ghastly monster, a bunch of album reviews by me, and an interview with the one and only @christianeichhorn.bsky.social

Hope the rash recovers from that nasty-looking Trump it's got.

Sean Hjelle should be the Cardinals' bench coach under Oli Marmol. That way, you could have Hjelle giving Marmol aid.

Let's all ignore that I misspelt 'palaeo'.

How about Darren Naish and John Conway's Tetrapod Zoology Podcast? (Although you'll want another paleao podcast as well, because the episode release schedule is 'when we find the time to record one, which might be months away'.)

I think it's very generous of Spurs to ride to the rescue of my beleagued Nottingham Forest. So long as they keep losing, I won't hear a word said against these North London angels.

An image with copies of the two wargame rulebooks Warriors of Athena: Heroes and Warriors of Athena: Quests side by side above "OUT NOW" in large font and below 4 slices of illustration of Greek myth inspired scenes: one coiling head of the hydra, a warrior drawing back a bow, an undead ferryman, and a charging armoured centaur. All of this is against a stylised white marble background.

Rebel women between the wars: breaking boundaries 1918-39 by Sarah Lonsdale. featuring line drawings of a pen, mountains and a spanner

A dreary February day...brightened by first glimpse of this utterly fabulous cover for the paperback of my book Rebel Women Between the Wars. About the pathfinding, change-making, incomparably brave, and resilient women who opened the gates for the rest of us...out April 7, but you can preoder now!

Road Warriors: vehicle rules for Eco Mofos

The wastelands are littered with the wrecks of planes, trains and automobiles. Punks use jury-rigged, battered vehicles to get around, patched together from all kinds of machines.

Thanks! (I was more thinking of Foundry's Mycenaeans; I seem to remember most (all?) of the Lucid Eye Greeks were classical hoplite rather than Mycenaean, but am not really sure which other company's figures would scale best with LE minis.)

They look excellent! What's the Wargames Foundry miniatures' height like compared with those cool Lucid Eye Amazons?

It's silly to say it 'looks like shit', but 30 fps doesn't feel great to me for sim driving or fighters. For less precise games, no probs, but I like a few more delicious frames for twitch stuff...

He IS (former) Prince Andrew; we took his royal title away, so he's known by the surname 'Mountbatten-Windsor' now.

Well, he's actually known as 'that sweaty nonce', but that's more of an informal thing...

If they need more bland one-worders, they should just recalibrate the Britpop band name generator.
