@lukegearing.bsky.social Hi, reading my copy of Swyvers; I like the idea of 2d10 to hit instead of d20, gives more consistent results. But average of 2d10 is 11, which will beat the defence of nearly anything listed. Intentional that most attacks will hit?

#editing tip: don’t criticise your spouse’s spelling.
Wxamining my wife’s letter intended to my Lady, and another to Mademoiselle; they were so false spelt that I was ashamed of them, and took occasion to fall out with my wife, and so she wrote none, at which I was sorry because it was in answer to a letter of Madam about business.

The Tories absolutely deserve to be on the edge of extinction, for their previous behaviour whilst in power. Doesn't mean I'm happy at Reform profiting from it though.

Finally watched Spinal Tap 2. Unsurprisingly not quite as perfect as the first, but a decent tribute to Rob Reiner. Pity that most of the songs were jammed together in the last 30 mins. Still, I’m sure repeated watchings will uncover a new store of quotable bits.

About time for my yearly rewatch of Old Father Christmas. If you've never seen it, it's hard to describe: #folklore, mummers' plays, #paganism vs Christianity, a bit of opera ...

Rereading a Michael Moorcock book I've not read since the 80s, The Warhound and the World's Pain. I wonder if this particular sentence lodged in the brain of a Marvel comics scriptwriter? #IamGroot
