I just signed Greenpeace’s pledge to stand against Trump’s oil wars. Fossil fuel companies are already driving the greatest threat to humanity with the climate crisis. Will you join me in saying: no more wars for oil? act.gp/3Z7qzHp

I’m currently working my way through the bestiary and vehicles/mounts section, but the core rules are solid and standing up well in play-testing. Let’s introduce some of the rules in bite-size posts! Attributes Characters have six Core attributes and six Secondary attributes, as follows:

Remember, it's that time of year to contemplate things like compassion, and generosity.

I usually buy online from www.dungeonland.co.uk, but today I visited their store in Blackpool and bought these lovely items. It was an Aladdin's cave of RPG goodies, I could have spent a fortune in there. Well worth a visit if you can. IMHO the best place in the UK to buy your RPGs.

What do you do when players are unable to make sessions.
1) Keep the characters in the game and let another player run them (but they can still die)?
2) Temporarily remove the PC from the game with a weak fictional reason (they overslept, are hungover, wandered off)?
3) Something else?

Earlier this month I had two gaming weekends back to back and it was glorious. More for my own record keeping than anything else I did a write up covering The One Ring Road Trip 2025 and Grogmeetish

He isn't a party leader. He's a CEO. And his investors have spoken.
