If you're a fan of board games (or skirmish games) do try Halo Flashpoint by @manticgames.bsky.social
It's a really well designed versus game with that 'Halo' feeling.

I started DMing this year. A pirate #dnd5e adventure. I've been slowly learning how to craft the world and experience inspired by the amazing @sherlockhulmes.bsky.social and the @highrollersdnd.bsky.social folks. Can't wait to see what HR brings in next year!

In my first few weeks of my new Research role, I got to travel to Newport to speak with NHS Gwent about digital tools for neurodivergent care and data governance. Key points around:
- Access to tools
- Accessibility considered
- Co-production approach where all key stakeholders are considered

Exciting project on integrating digital health tools into the NHS.
