Are you feeling festive yet?
Have you failed to feel festive so far?
Either condition can be improved upon by listening to this Christmas joke "tape" I made many years ago.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

My Tom Waits Era has been a long time coming. But finally, after watching the absolutely boss new #KnivesOut , I had to immediately go home and find out what the excellent credits music was and I shouldn't have been surprised #BSkyMusic #TomWaits

Fewer children visiting cinemas; large increase in cinema visits by tall, lumpy men in trenchcoats.
I see that Captain Obvious is reporting from the front lines again.

Oh my goodness. I did not realise how much I had missed running tabletop games. Running two different systems back to back this weekend has been a balm on my soul and reminded me what I love most about the hobby

...Maybe my New Year's Resolution should be to get tested. This is upsettingly accurate
I wrote a thing! Because I contine to be very normal!
Lloyd Didcot, 32, took the unusual step to not carefully prepare a mental script for his coffee order last Friday and, subsequently, experienced the actual, literal torture of eternal damnation for about five minutes in his local Costa.

Beebgate demonstrates two truths:
1 Right wing media hold everyone else to exacting standards of ethics and probity while holding themselves to none whatsoever.
2. You can’t curry favour with the right wing if you’re an entity they want to destroy.

Absolutely chuffed to bits with my @abbybulmer.bsky.social print. Now I need to find a suitably excellent frame for it on my wall! #Sonic #SkySanctuaty #Art #ABigEgg

One of the best bits of running a new tabletop game is putting together the vibes playlist! I've had a lot of these saved for just such an occasion, too #tabletop #ttrpg #cyberpunk #WakeUpSamurai

Cyberpunk RED
Welcome to the Time of the Red, Choomba! The year is 2045, the Megacorporations spent decades wrecking everything and, in the aftermath of their last War, everyone has to fend for themselves.

Every once in a while I miss Twitter.
Then I peek over there and remember why I stopped using Twitter. I don't miss what it is. I miss what it was years ago.

Hey you! Fancy having a bit of a chuckle at a man going through a classic mid-30's crisis and getting TOO into running?

I've signed up for a Half-Marathon and could do with some emotional and financial support. Read my story below and consider tossing a few coins in

Is it bad that the most surprising thing to me today is a politician actually resigning over being found to not live up to the standards we supposedly hold them to?

Can you imagine anybody in a Tory Cabinet or over in the Orange House doing that? Not clamping down like a limpet?

When prepping, I always use @slyflourish.com 's DM checklist, but with occasional modifications as time has passed

Newest addition is to the Important NPC's list:

1) Which faction do they represent
2) What role do they fill in the adventure
3) *new* Which player is this a 'treat' for?
