Earlier this year I started reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. I vowed to finish reading them before the end of the year. I finished them about 10 minutes ago. Didn't think it would be such a close run thing. 🤣 Guess the cancer got in the way a bit.

First test: We lost in 2 days
Second test: We lost in 4 days
Third test: We will lose in 5 days.

We're getting better! #Cricket

Decided to end my chemo treatment early. Risk from the side effects were out weighing the benefits at the moment.

At the hospital for another appointment. Only two places I've spent more time at this year, my house and work. 🙄

Just realised it is 2 years since I last saw my cats. I wonder if they would still remember me if they saw me 😕

It's really annoying that as soon I have a break from my chemo tablets, instead of relaxing, I end up cleaning the house as all the chores build up while I don't have any energy :(

Listening to Weezer's Blue Album and it is still as awesome as when I first listened to it 30 years ago.

Singing along to "I've got a Dungeon Masters Guide. I've got a 12 sided dice." feels a lot different in 2025 than 1995 🙂

We have an immediate need for an RPG proofreader. This is a paid gig, proofing just over 11,000 words. Experience is preferred.

Please email jon@handiwork.games with your resume and rate. If you don't have a set rate that's fine - we can talk.

Please feel free to share, tag and recommend.

Did everyone enjoy Dragonmeet? What was everyone's opinions on the new venue?
November 30, 2025 at 2:43 PM
I hope everyone has a great time at Dragonmeet. Hopefully, I'll be there next year.

Just got an email that the dnduktweetup email address is no longer recoverable as it hasn't been used on such a long time. We had some good times at those 🙂

Okay, let's heal the rift with some gentle humour:

How many Labour MPs does it take to change a light bulb?

Two. One to change the lightbulb, the other to ask Nigel Farage if he needs anything else doing around Number 10 before he moves in.

I like how in this day and age of unrelenting technology that the way we get on a bus is to stick your arm out to let the driver know you want them to pick you up.

If you use the new Affinity, you may also want to go to your profile on Canva and turn off a variety of settings so that they don't train AI with your usage:
www.canva.com/settings/pri...
and
www.canva.com/settings/ai
They've announced that Affinity is now free, except for generative AI tools which are walled behind a Canva subscription. Which seems really good:
www.affinity.studio

Like "You can eat anything from the garden, but if you'd like to sample the wares from underneath the outhouse... that'll cost ya"
Affinity (which offers alternatives to photoshop and indesign) has turned off the ability to buy their software on their website.

They're touting some big reveal at the end of the month, though shutting off sales of their product for a month is... an interesting choice.

Was gonna post about how I've had a good week for the first time in months but then the doctor phoned to say there might be a problem with the chemo I'm having. So they have said to pause the treatment while they do some more tests to make sure it is safe to continue. *sighs*

As of this morning, I am halfway through my chemo treatment! Still feels like a long way to go, but it feels good to have reached that milestone.

It's arrived!

My game did not make it to the second round of the board game design competition I entered it into.

My Alien Evolved Edition RPG parcel has been dispatched! #excited

One thing I miss because of the chemo tablets, is cooking for myself. Which is strange as it wasn't something I particularly loved when I had the energy to do it. But I'd love to cook for myself properly right now.

I've had another idea for a game - Guillotine meets deck building. Not been this excited by a game idea for quite a while.

In preparation for switching the heating on soon, I dusted my radiators. My god, it was like they were wearing coats 😯

Despite the chemo tablets making in-person gaming impractical, I'm still managing to play board games online. Last night played with two of the guys from local gaming club. Tonight, I'm gaming with colleagues. Makes me feel less isolated.
