There's a big military parade planned in America which happens to be on Trump's birthday?
What do we reckon, is Trump going to turn up in a uniform?

Am I the only one who's been very slow to realise that maybe in The Last Hero, "The Bard" is a sort of stand-in for Pterry and his opinions on Heroes (that is to say Heroic Characters in Fantasy)?

I freely admit I know nothing about business at all, and Games Workshop's business strategy in particular is baffling, but the fact they haven't released Gaunt's Ghosts as a dedicated Kill Team seems like madness

The fact that the Met Gala exists during the worst cost of living crisis in modern times is some real Hunger Games shit.

More game developers should take a tip from Assassin's Creed Black Flag
It basically used the same assets as the previous game but added more of the stuff people liked and a whole new story with great characters and fantastic writing...
...and only took a year to make

I think I'd prefer if game developers stopped trying to make incredibly expensive (and barely noticeable) improvements in graphics, and instead made a game where I get to meet loads of interesting companions and don't get restricted to only choosing three at a time.

Okay, but if you're playing a different game, with different rules, than everybody else, then either you're going to lose or you're just playing with yourself.

One of the good things about setting a game of Vampire the Masquerade in Edinburgh is that, for a city of it's size, "Auld Reekie" has an inordinate amount of, incredibly beautiful graveyards.

Matilda Blanc wants to keep whisky in her glass and her ship in the air
(It’d be nice if she could pay her crew but that’s very much a third place consideration)
If she takes this job she might get her payday, but will she be able to look herself in the mirror afterwards…
