I love this. It has a real Warhammer 40,000 ring to it.
Part 65 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg

17th-century Pistols disguised as Keys. Meant for Jailers for self defense or sounding the alarm they would dangle on the same ring as the jails keys.

My youngest daughter has rendered me in 2D. Feast your eyes upon my magnificence and tremble!

Nice to make a daddy sandwich with my bro and papa DM today!

After years of researching and writing about La Rochelle, and Saint-Martin-de-Ré, it was an absolute trip to randomly look out of the window of a plane and spot them clear as day. My children and the rest of the plane didn't seem to share my enthusiasm.

Just quietly sitting here post evening sun, writing poetry from the mind of a man that never lived, yet whose life I've seen entirely.

Author or insane?! 🤣

Sunset brought a gun to a knife fight. Been off here for a month - how's everyone doing? Any cool writing projects? I've doubled down on my secret Scottish project, whilst embracing edits to the (nearly finished) finished book. Cheeeeeeeers

Strain your eyes from Scotland and find a patriotic sky

The choice shot of the weekend: Gandalf giving me the kind eyes for a puff of the old toby (one for the Tolkien fans)

Incredible performance from The Dead South at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh tonight!

Gawd, he's such a wankspangle fuckwit isn't he?

I'm utterly spellbound by the birds in the garden on this sunny spring evening. The sheer volume both in number and song is truly beautiful.

I've spent the day in the garden with the kids, clearing up and getting ready for spring, with yellowhammer and chaffinches all about us. Delightful. Happy Sunday folks.

Fuck it. Somebody needs to say it. Bay leaves are a fucking scam!!!!

The Gorge has to be one of the dumbest movies I can recall having seen! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Back into some line edits for the latest book today. I've left it well alone for a couple of months to give myself some necessary time away. Time well spent. Lots of red pen 😂

I don't normally get a lot of time to just binge on series, but being flattened this last week gave me an opportunity to start (and finish) Blue Eye Samurai. I was utterly spellbound. If you haven't seen it already, and can handle some of the graphic depictions of violence, I'd highly recommend it!

Hey to all the new followers. I'm going to tweet *checks notes and recalibrates year and platform*...

...I'm going to post about writing (been in a semi-lucid fever dream for a week so fair warning they're both few and weird) and whisky (I'm off the hooch until March)...

...so, erm, yeah, welcome

Well my planned health and focus start to 2025 has started with mixed results. 7 days of horrendous flu has so far rendered almost nonexistent social media screen time and the loss of 3 of my targeted 10 kgs. But 7 days and counting of horrendous flu sucks hard
