Alright, I'm one Omnibus into #TheArchers, and got tonights set for my ride to work tomorrow.
I like it. Not going to take much of my day, with interesting characters and plots.
Poor George is my thoughts thus far.

Is it a jump on the bus where you are and don’t worry where it has been? Or do you need to know something about it beforehand?

In Draw Steel it gives advice of ending combat once it’s clear the heroes can’t lose, I.e not mopping up the last Goblin all the time.
So you could end it as a Director by say ‘Cut’ or ‘And Scene’.
Or should we be saying…
‘And Sheath.’…?

Finished this axe handle today. From a block of oak with nothing but hand tools. A fun project to develop my skills.
Need to decide whether to just varnish/wax it, or go for some fun details and engraving.

Bit of academia today. Working on my dissertation. Managed to focus down the title, ‘Lessons from the One Hundred Years War.’ Into something more manageable.
Hope everyone else’s creative living is going well.

My wife and I tried Eat the Reich by @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social . Here's what we thought.
Of note the game is designed for 4/5 players (including GM). I amended some of the challenges to balance to 1 player, but made no other amendments to the game besides.

Alright. It’s only taken me, 20 days, gosh life is busy, but I’ve got through Draw Steel Heroes.
I’ve posted my initial thoughts, but to sum up/TLDR:
- A great physical presentation.
- A fun reference book for the game.
- makes me more excited to play.
- Inspired me to create.
Job Well Done.

It’s been a hell of a week, well, a month really, with work. These arrived some day ago, but I’m finally getting a chance to read over them this evening. Follow along with this thread to see what I think.
