Reminds me of my favourite line on GMing from the Heart core book by @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social “The players just turn up every week and make it up as they go along. Why can’t you?” Changed my life 😄 www.polygon.com/esoteric-ebb...

I’ve been composing music for around ten years, but almost all of it has been to a brief. More recently I’ve been thinking about what I’d write if left to my own devices. No doubt this will continue to evolve, but this track is where I’m at right now. youtu.be/8a2l_dQGL1g?...

Amazing weekend at UKGE! Met and reconnected with a bunch of great people and ran 3 sessions of Doomsong. Phew! Bought some great stuff too but I think my purchase of the show was Midnight of the Century @byodinsbeardrpg.com Already started reading and will be playing it very soon

“You lose a lot more than a few musicians when you hollow out a music department.” After the petition not to close the music department, signed by nearly 7000 people, has been ignored by the RSC it heartens me to see this article in the Guardian today. Well put! www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

The RSC’s music cuts fundamentally diminish our experience of theatre | Tom Service

From Mendelssohn’s scherzo in A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Grieg’s Morning Mood from Peer Gynt, music composed for the theatre was never just ‘incidental’

RPG production people, a humble request from your old pal Sam: uncoated paper, please! it feels nicer on your fingertips, it sounds nicer to turn, and most importantly you can write on it! I love to annotate my RPG books, but glossy pages make that difficult. if you're printing an RPG, go uncoated 🙏
