I've been running RPGs for over forty years. (Eek.) By now I have a reasonable idea of what my notes before a game should look like.
Some years ago, netbooks were everywhere. Now they aren't. But for the dedicated fan they're still achievable.
2025 SF, last of its trilogy. The colony is going to be invaded, the rebellion is at a standstill, and the new dictator is about to make his move…
1965 historical fiction for young people. Phaedrus the gladiator wins his freedom, but has no idea what to do with it, and rapidly runs into trouble. Then he is offered a role in a cunning plan: to stand in for the rightful king (deposed, blinded so as to be unable to rule, and thought dead) of a North British tribe and lead the counter-coup.
I went to the unfortunately-named British Birds of Prey gathering. It was… an experience.
1959 whodunnit, dir. Otto Preminger, James Stewart, Lee Remick: IMDb. The soldier killed the bartender who raped his wife. But is it really that simple?
I’ve been doing the Weekly Challenges. The latest involved an old friend and extensive string manipulation. (Note that this ends today.)
The second issue of Of Dice and Meeples is now out.
Is a disadvantage really a disadvantage? It depends on how you look at it.
More gaming with nearby friends, after a bit of a gap for bank and other holidays.
