Wales may have lost yesterday, but they put up another good fight. Coupled with the results today has made for a tidy weekend so far!
Fajitas and some booze followed by the last 2 episodes of season 1 of The Pitt.
Cheers all!
Currently taking part in one of my favourite parts of writing for #TTRPG. Finding the right pieces of music to accompany the scenes I've written.
I remember hearing an interview with Andy Nyman on the @scarredforlife.bsky.social podcast where he said that music is another character in the story. 👌
Episode 7 of our #Deadlands #TTRPG prep complete! The first full group session of season 2!
The posse need to tie up the loose ends of the last couple of months with Twitch missing in action and Myazaki in a coma that appears to be getting worse.
Expensive Shopping Trip!
Went with the family to Birmingham today for some retail therapy. I found an amazing FLGS that had the best collection of #Deadlands books that I've ever seen on a shelf.
Along with some other things, I picked up a few books and am now skint (totally worth it!).
A mid-season trailer for our #Deadlands ##TTRPG campaign.
A summary of where each character is after their solo and the outcome. A very short read and written from the perspective of our heavily pregnant dancin' girl, Mary.

The write-up for episode 6 of our #Deadlands ##TTRPG campaign is up on the blog.

Gene investigates, gets sent on a mission, encounters a never before seen beast, & succeeds in bringing help to Houston in the shape of a mysterious stranger...
Time to catch up with the latest pod while I write up the latest #Deadlands ##TTRPG episode.
I also need to write the BITR con game (I now have a concept), and I also need to write and run a one-shot playtest of the NUNA system (I promise I haven't forgotten @tedankhamen.bsky.social )
Busy!
Exciting games today and one result that I liked!
Fajita time now. Hope you're all having a tidy, safe,and sane Saturday beehatches!
Cheers!
On @malcolmcraig.bsky.social 's recommendation, we've taken a look at the 1956 Sydney J Bounds opus THE ROBOT BRAINS. We also talk about Malcolm's work in academia, his paper on Twilight 2000, the "macho men with Uzis" RPG sub-genre and the second editions of Cold City and Hot War.

Putting the 'deaf' in Deftones.
That's a wrap on the last of the #Deadlands #TTRPG 1-1 sessions with our resident Huckster, Gene!
He went up a mountain and came down barely in one piece after a confrontation with a Peryton!
Episode 5 of our #Deadlands #TTRPG is up on the blog.
Mamik encounters some Pinkertons who are hell bent on finding someone guilty of murder, even if there's no proof. This ends in a rain of bullets, blood, and tears.

Work has been a challenge of late but I remain positive and have already secured a Plan B.
Still, a lovely bright day at Barry Island (home of Gavin & Stacey) with the much better half, followed by a few beers, fajitas, & some episodes of The Pitt were just the tonic needed.
Tidy.
Rolling in the Ruins - A day of Moorcockian RPGs - now has a venue in the heart of Bradford. Next step is to get it on WarHorn. A pint first though.
That's a rap on Mamik's #Deadlands #TTRPG solo! She lived though it, despite some racist witch hunting from some clearly bored marooned Pinkertons!
Just one left to go and then we're all back around the table together!
The write-up for ep 4, season 2 of our #Deadlands ##TTRPG is on the blog.
Myazaki befriends a family & helps the father to find his children when they're kidnapped by yeti and may die on his way back!
Ep 5 tomorrow - Mamik & the Pinkertons!

Get this occult action thriller ttRPG for 1-7 people. Perfect if you enjoy playing powerful undead revenants embroiled in breakneck action, interpersonal drama, and occult investigation. Soundtrack by @mollynoise.bsky.social and human-made art by @stregawolf.art. Jump in now for early bird deals!
I will be at the June 6th one and it would be great to meet some virtual buddies there in the flesh for some booze and that.
No, I've never been one for minis. All theatre of the mind for me. Always has been whatever game I play.
Thanks! 😃
Tonight was season 2 episode 4 of our #Deadlands #TTRPG campaign.
Myazaki managed to make friends with a local family, help track down their kids when they went missing, traced them to another Aztec Temple and had a very hard time getting them back out...
Ready for #Deadlands #TTRPG solo number 4!
My players are super excited for this, Ted! Looking forward to getting my teeth stuck into it when it arrives!
This month signifies the 25th anniversary for the much better half & I! To celebrate we've just booked 5 days in Gran Canaria in May for just the 2 of us.
25 years and we are still going strong, in fact, we both agree that we're stronger now than we ever were.
Hope you've all had a tidy weekend.
Tonight's #boardgames - Mission Red Planet & Let's Slay.
I really liked MRP. It ticked all the right boxes for me in a game. Lot's of different ways to score points and a few strategies forming.
Then Let's Slay. Great imagery on the cards but I wasn't a fan of the mechanics. Wouldn't play again.
All my dice rolls are out in the open. I think it adds a little bit more tension as everyone is crowded around it to see what their fate is.
No fudging of dice rolls for me.
If it goes well then they all enjoy the glory; if they roll badly, we enjoy what that does to the party.

The write-up from our latest episode of our #Deadlands ##TTRPG campaign is up on the blog.
Scot encounters some snow worms, rescues some missing hunters and gets very well acquainted with his 'once thought missing' shadow...
