I'm glad you're not too badly hurt, this can be incredibly dangerous.

You may well know already, dooring by a driver or passenger is a prosecutable offence if you wanted to take further action. Given the potential consequences it's not treated seriously enough by police or the courts, sadly.

I'm not at all familiar with the relative merits of the big UK conventions when it comes to AP, so I'm curious how they select which to attend.

I'll hopefully get to see PTFO. I'm running multiple RPG sessions over the weekend and unfortunately they clash with most of the other APs. I'm a bit surprised UK based AP shows like Mystery Quest, High Rollers, and Natural Six aren't in the mix.

Can I ask what's particularly drawn your eye?

Do you know if that fits within the applicable scope of an Unexplained Wealth Order?

Do you have a position on treating Social Media companies as publishers rather than platforms, with direct responsibility for what appears on their services? I sometimes wonder where we'd be now if that had been the case before they became so pervasive.

Find it funny that people think that getting implanted with the same kind of chip that all UK cats and dogs have some makes them 'transhuman'. Mind you, means if you lose your mind at a festival someone can scan you for contact details and return address.

Hi Aaron. I realise it's my lack of clarity that's caused confusion! My comment was intended to be a response to the content of the original OSR article you cite. I've been pondering rule v mechanics more broadly since Jay Dragon posed a question about it a few days ago. Onions all the way down.

I've read the linked article and I'm struggling to understand the distinction being made between 'procedure' and 'mechanic'. As it's offered, they seem to be addressing the same thing on a sliding scale of clarity?

Not to worry. Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi Ian. I managed to get a copy of Mileships on a late pledge and it's a fantastic piece of work. Are individual prints from the book officially available anywhere? I've searched online without much success.

It's going to look messy post-bloom. If you want to use the bulbs again then definitely leave the foliage on. Best advice I can give is find a place to hide the pot!

It depends on the effect you want, in part. Sequential or simultaneous blooming? Varietal size also has an impact on layering. Smaller tend to go shallower. I found this a helpful guide www.farmergracy.co.uk/blogs/farmer...

That's definitely got me thinking. I wonder if there's merit in looking at it as Host v Guest. There's the desire to create an experience to be enjoyed, and the desire to participate in that. Both require investment, but of different degrees and type. And both positions have rules & expectations

I think it's worth caring about the distinction because they offer different possibilities for balancing, flavour, and approaches to resolution. Maybe to emphasize the vastness of space you can jump 50ly... pull a card from your flight plan deck to see how close you land to the destination...
