Telly writer, story editor and geek. This is my account for the geeky stuff, especially TTRPGs. You may know me from my other roleplaying accounts, @FriendlyFiend on Mastodon, GeorgeP on assorted Discords, or from telly things I write/story edit.
What an excellent thing to have on one’s desk. @wyrdscience.bsky.social is such a great read.

Feels like our decision to move from The Guardian on Saturday to The FT Weekend is thoroughly vindicated - 9 page article on Disco Elysium plus the full rules for Lasers & Feelings and not a single ‘top 5 reasons why kumquats are the big thing for summer’ article.

How about Malvern Hills College, currently standing unsold. Added bonus, Tolkien was a regular visitor to Malvern, along with drinking buddy CS Lewis, so there’s at least some fantasy/TTRPG connection.

#RPGaDay2024 Day 25 - Desirable Dice
I don’t really care that much about dice but I still regret not splashing out on the gorgeous obsidian and glass dice set for #DIE RPG. Still, I *did* splash out on these lovely, chonky d20s for @handiworkgames.bsky.social's #Beowulf and am delighted with them.

Well, to give an idea of the physical pledge, here’s my haul from last time around. BTW, have you tried the free QuickStarts for Outgunned/Outgunned Adventure? Definitely worth a gander, if not.

Argh, just flipped through the collection and realised how many of the "favourite White Dwarf" covers I recalled were actually from Imagine. That said, I still have a soft spot for issue number 50 - very House on the Borderland.
