Maybe someone should remind PP about this. Otherwise he’s just a hypocrite. Is anyone surprised?

PP is an attention-seeking wet blanket and doesn’t have an independent thought in his head. If he’s ever PM he will do as he’s told and sell out the Canadian people for whatever bauble his overlords are willing to offer.

Hands down TMNT but along with it the whole Palladium Megaverse. Paranoia, Rolemaster, Champions, FASA Mechwarrior, WEG Star Wars being those I played 1984-1995. LBB Traveller I didn’t discover until 2016 but it’s definitely a lot l of what I wanted back then.
What's your favorite pre-2000 non-D&D TTRPG?

Double-Edged Sword & Sorcery is a fascinating product, one that brings to mind classic S&S mass market paperbacks.

After two and a half months of PD back pain is killing me. Need a break, work on physio, and do some #minipainting. Been looking for some more rat folk w/o having to buy an army. Found a limited scope project with this #ageofsigmar #warhammer kit. Let’s see how long it takes.

When I was a postdoc @ NASA/Ames in 1989 Bill Borucki was that guy who wouldn’t stop talking about his out-there idea for a space telescope that could detect exoplanets. He persevered. His brilliant idea finally gained support, launched, worked, revealed to us we live in a universe full of planets!🧪
From1970s conceiving the idea, through 1980s trying to convince #NASA for a exoplanet hunting mission to 2009 launch of the telescope. A life time of stubborn persistence to make an amazing idea really. This is a short story of NASA engineer William Borucki's Space Telescope. 🔭🎢🚀

Ingenuity and decades of planning enabled the mission’s success.

Carlos Diaz just dropped this amazing cover art for GdM#42 (1 April) on @bethtabler.bsky.social and we are both SWOONING. Any guesses at which awesome dark fantasy world this scene depicts (cheeky hint: it's a five book series)?

Book three of the Penhaligon trilogy.
What’s your holy grail TTRPG product? Can be a book/module, a piece of original art, anything.

🗿📜 Did you know that statues are not the only wonder of ancient culture found on Easter Island?

Besides the monolithic human figures known as moai, another great puzzle seen in this southeastern Pacific Ocean island is rongorongo, a mysterious system of glyphs carved on wooden tablets. 🧵⬇️ (1/6)
