I am once again wholeheartedly recommending you go and listen to Grouper who is absolute bliss to listen to. Especially for tired, frazzled brains like mine and really helps bring warmer, more important thoughts closer.

The iTunes info for the album Ruins by Grouper.

Maximilian - the evil robot from The Black Hole movie. A menacing red robot with a red strip of an eye. He unleashes his whirling blades of death!

Watched Obsession, solid movie and enjoyed it it a lot thank you thank you very much. Only one bit brought me out of it and if you’ve seen it - I think you’ll know which bit.

Post your laptop stickers!

A variety of stickers on a laptop mainly from the music world

So we ended up taking a stroll into this and oooooh boy was it an eye opener. Ultra competitive & taken *extremely* seriously. Made me want to go back and watch ‘Best In Show’

The poster for the movie ‘Best in Show’ displays the main characters and their dogs - the dogs seem to reflect aspects of the owners personality.

Unfortunate poster placement of the day.

Newcastle Race Course advertising Ladies Day but there’s a poster draped over the top advertising a toy dog show. It makes it look like these are the ladies attending the races. Which TBF they might.

Couldn’t decide what to watch and already been stuck a a desk all do for to paint so a few solo games did the trick

The box of the card games, The Lost Expedition by Peer Sylvester and the last light house & Unsurmountable both by Scott Almes

Arrived at last! Do like that patch.

Wages of Sin & Orphans modules for Mothership TTRPG. Also a storage box and a cool ‘do you sign my pay checks?’ Patch

“I will make a statement on my future in public life at 2pm”

Jesse - a character from the Fast Show on tv emerges from a large wooden shed, he’s dressed in scruffy workwear and wellie boots.

Noisy bugger is back again with his three notes this morning, bashing out his three notes endlessly like a toddler on a piano

A list of birds in the Merlin app. Listed is carrion crow, Eurasian wren, wood pigeon, rook and currently highlighted - therefore making noise at the moment is the Common Chaffinch. He was making a racket yesterday.

Early birthday present arrived today c/o @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social thanks for reprinting this 🙏

A copy of Play Unsafe - 20th Anniversary Edition by Graham Walmsley.

The back cover of Play Unsafe
.
Often, we treat roleplaying games like work.
We buy shelves of thick books. We plan detailed adventures. We memorise rules.
In Play Unsafe, award-winning author Graham Walmsley explores what happens when you throw the serious stuff away: when you stop working, stop planning and start playing.

"Play Unsafe changed the way I run roleplaying games. Now, when I play, I feel like I make a real connection.
Jared Logan, comedian and streamer.

"Wherever you sit around the table, it'll make you a better player - one who is a joy to play with. "
Kieron Gillen, author and designer.

"This is my favourite RPG book."
John Harper, designer, Blades in the Dark.

THIEVES OF TIME

I feel it’s maybe an appropriate time to re-read this. You never know…I might pick up some tips….

The cover of The Drought by J G Ballard. The cover shows iridescent blues - I think it’s a slightly abstract image of coral underwater?

Break from Pirate Borg as a player is away so out comes Cthulhu: Death May Die. Came down to the last possible roll (again) when Rasputin managed to knock Hastur clean out of his skanky yellow bathrobe as everyone else had died. A win is a win!

A big ole mini representing the King in yellow stares down at an investigator on a cardboard map

The map from Season 1 Episode 6 portraying a research station. It’s swarming with bad guys on one corner and guess where we need to be!

Was looking for a photo on my phone and happened across this old photo of the grimmest token effort kids “fun” play area I think I’ve ever seen.

From a Moto services. A small indoor area area maybe 2x2 metres with a partial iron raining on two sides encloses a small purple tv cabinet (turned off) and a purple chair for a toddler next to a table with some beads attached to wire for the kids to move about. It’s looking very desolate and not fun at all

The Warhammer required for this battle

A stainless steel meat tenderiser. Each side of the hammer facing has raised points to mash the meat
