Someone else has figured out Vinted is stealing their cookies...
Oops, how did that happen? (also, nearly 20% cheaper on Drivethru than directly from Modiphius, which is a bit weird)
Viewing the map of Clacton constituency makes me sad. I knew it covered the run-down seaside town. But it also covers swathes of beautiful Essex countryside that I used to cycle around in my youth. My nostalgic stomping ground is a pit of racism, a toxic mix of white retirees and working poverty
I'd compare it to this - also an AP, but better aligns the image to the game Look, it's not my area, maybe it's more about appealing to an existing fan base of that AP group than to attract a new audience. I just felt there was a tonal mismatch
Add Tricksy and Gobby and I reckon you've got an index table for the perfect character generation system
#Spectaculars at #Longcon The beautiful but icy Amethyst is ready to deal out justice to crowds of monstrous minions (her mum and brother can waste their time saving innocent bystanders)
Well, that was surprisingly easy. Quick copy and paste and no-one is any the wiser...
Today's haul from Dragon Cards & Games in Kelowna Lovely store with good range of board/card games and some RPG gems too. Worth the 30 minute walk in blistering heat! @rollandplaypress.bsky.social
Not saying the Kelowna geek shop has slow RPG trade, but they still have 3 copies of 4e Revenge of the Giants 😶
Latest eBay purchase I've owned the Marvel Saga rulebook and cards for years, but not the roster book. Some guy has been trying to sell it on eBay for £10 for years. I've offered a fiver, he always says no. Patience pays off. I got the roster book *and* a 2nd rulebook for £5 from someone else.
This is one of the other posters I had on my wall... and it's the one that I now have on my office wall after a 30 year gap
Eh? By increasing the number of students in higher education?

Wow to you, oh earth and sea For the devil sends the beast with wrath Because he knows the time is short Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast. For it is a human number. Its number Is six hundred and sixty six...
Just got Hero system 6th edition down to refresh my memory. Now I recall why I don't play Hero System any more. Stupid huge book (this is character creation only - the rules are in a second weighty time)
Eldest in his weekly music lesson, so as I wait figure I'll dive into this. Read MgT1 but never actually cracked this open before now
Just read intro adventure for M-Space: The Triton Incident. A fairly straightforward sci-fi jaunt, very suitable for a con game and with scope to expand and add depth to the manageable number of NPCs Some emergent setting detail but I'd be inclined to use Star Frontiers (background not rules)
@impq.bsky.social reading Denim and Leather, a history of NWOBHM my Michael Mann. Saw this great quote by Dennis Stratton. Can we dream of a huge closing number at EddFest?
Visiting last week, I found out where some of the Brexit voters in Canterbury live
