I m running a Luthor Awkright campaign atm, the Mythras rules are a great source book but I just use Call of Cthulu rules with characters given high skill levels and a more generous luck system. Too old to learn new rpg rules πŸ˜€

I don't really have magic using PCs in Stormbringer, tbh I prefer magic to happen off screen or through hard won items, no unmentionable tentacles in the PCs yet but some cool mutations from that table πŸ˜‰

After really enjoying playing it with you as GM i am running it using Stormbringer plus push rolls but also heavily editing each chapter for a 5 room dungeon format. Great fun

Mandelson’s links with US tech firm Palantir must be fully exposed, campaigners warn Government faces call for transparency on former peer’s involvement amid fears he may have leaked more sensitive information

Palantir. Agents for the IDF and for ICE. Now we know how they got huge NHS contracts. Time they were removed.

I have a strong belief that scientific instruments like questionnaires should not be have the same copyright protection as other text. Yes you can assert authorship, no you can't stop people using it.

I highly recommend the TV series Reservation Dogs which is a stunning & heartfelt comedy drama about a bunch of teens on a reservation, some great deep dives into Native American contemporary culture, also hilarious at times

Seems to be a shortage of credible reporting and analysis from Iran right now, can anyone recommend a good source? That picture of a women lighting a cig with a picture of the Ayatolah may be worth a 1000 words but i'd like a bit more!

Mani really saved Primal Scream, they had looked knackered and lacked direction before he joined, his propulsive bass playing led to some of their best tracks and they became a gang again on stage, rest in peace

I remain puzzled by the longevity of research into 'Tetris might prevent PTSD', seems like a zombie theory that just won't die, or am I missing something?
