GOT Spinoff ‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’ Releases Teaser Trailer
It was around the second season of House Of The Dragon that some people started asking: “why are these stories always about royalty and no one else?” The answer is right in the title. It’s a Game of THRONES. It’s what you signed up for. But still, surely something interesting must be going on among the peasantry, right? The coming spinoff A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms answers that question. It takes place far from any torch-lit castle or drawbridge. It’s star isn’t a king or a prince, but Duncan the Tall, a former squire who suddenly graduates into a knight after the passing of his mentor.

More evidence for my theory that everywhere is becoming France, a country where the voters hate everyone
It's true. If Labour raise income taxes, the party might slump to around a quarter of the vote, and its PM and Chancellor might be even more unpopular than Rishi Sunak in 2024 or Jeremy Corbyn in 2019 - wait, sorry, just got an email from Ipsos with some new polling, I'm sure it's nothing important.
Quite a contrast to the BlueSky consensus the last 24 hours

Honestly, just using terms like "OSR" or "storygame" means you're down the rabbithole. Most RPGers categorise entirely by a combination of setting and complexity.

This is a superb image. The size of the set is really bought into scale and the detail is quite excellent. The size of the area is a little lost in the shadows and the close-ups in the movie but you still get a sense of the size of the chamber.

I needed some escapism today. I brought out one of my favorite sci-fi wargames, Steve Jackson's Ogre. Here, my PanEuro forces are getting a shalacking by the Combine Ogre that shrugs off my attacks while dispatching my units with contempt. It's up to the infantry to save my CP now! #Ogre #Wargaming
