I’m on my way home from Metatopia which was as brilliant as always. So much good intel for the games I brought, such fun playing the creative endeavours of others!
I’m going to write a whole blog post about everything when I’m actually home with a keyboard - so much to say!

Thought I’d try the Elizabeth line to get to the airport. Never again! No signage, trains cancelled, standing on the platform for 20 mins.
I’ll go back to the old faithful Piccadilly line in the future. It’s old but at least it works.
2 out of 3 failures on it

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

I’ve just watched the 2019 film “Tolkien” which for some reason I’ve been putting off.
What a marvellous, sad, uplifting, tragic story.
Knowing something of the outcome of WW1 made the early parts all the more poignant.

Just finished watching Thunderbolts* for the first time since I saw it in the cinema, and I think it holds up well. The through line of depression carries through the whole thing nicely, and I put it up with the 1st generation of marvel films for quality.
One weird thing in the credits though…

Over on Mastodon, this thread gives some wonderful information about how the complexity of Vietnamese pronouns adds real flavour to Star Wars when watched there. Worth a read!

Because of the complexity of its pronouns, the Vietnamese translation adds an extra layer of depth to the otherwise shallow dialogue of the Star Wars original trilogy, which I watched on TV in Vietnam...

Taken at night.
Not looking up at sky but down through 8000 miles of rock to the other side of the Earth.
Not with light but neutrinos.

The last survivor of the Crimean War died in 2004.
"Timothy" spent 40 years in the Navy. After retirement, having moved in with the Earl of Devon, she revealed she was a girl.
She would wander round his garden wearing a sign that said. "My name is Timothy. I am very old. Pease do not pick me up".

Want to play a horror RPG on Halloween but have nobody to play with? Why not download my FREE ashcan of Escape to Utopia - Zombies, from itch?
It’s great with 2-4 players, but also works as a solo journalling game - use cards and prompts and record your escape (or otherwise!)

Gorgeous work as always.
I commissioned some maps from them for my game “The Long Road Home”, and they were a great artist to work with - highly recommend if you’d like to hire someone in the early stages of their journey!

My daughter hand-draws maps on commission, and her most recent -- depicting Terry Pratchett's Discworld -- is amazing!
