With #Furnace done, I’m now starting to consider other #ttrpgs as I’ve no conventions until February. First up is a one shot of #talesoftheoldwest for some friends who expressed an interest. I’ve pretty much built it on the #RoleVTT now. Looking forward to running […] [Original post on dice.camp]

@tezrak.bsky.social Hey @eladrin - this is the maths from #Aegean from the weekend!

@tezrak.bsky.social OP is correct, yes? Maybe they just didn’t want to argue?

I procrastinated today when I should have been finalising my scenarios for #FurnaceCon and have ended up with a working conversion of the #Dune #2d20 #ttrpg to #Tripod, a rules light narrative engine. The key part of the conversion is that you can use the existing character sheets and material […]

Found this today, my registration card for Ambrosia Software’s #EscapeVelocity SF game. I spent a lot of time playing that on my old Macs, wish it was still a thing. #macOS #games

A postcard with a white background. A Greek God prepares to throw a thunderbolt as lightning crackles above and their robe/toga swirls in the wind. They are in the white of the card, outlined in a red. Below is the text “Ambrosia Software Inc”.

First time I have ever had this error on #macOS. I had a fair few apps open, but the one consuming the RAM was Safari which had 2.2GB in use. Kind of weird as it only had five tabs open (3x DriveThru RPG, a static blog page and a Backerkit confirmation). Next […] [Original post on dice.camp]

So the MacBook Pro is finally being upgraded to Tahoe. Mainly to avoid jumping two versions tomorrow. It can have a week with Tahoe, and then I will take a call on whether to visit Golden Gate. On the plus side, it means I can try @hexaedre’s star mapping software once it’s done. On the minus […]

Sat at a picnic table beside a river waiting for my EV to charge up. Overcast day, so a bit colder than it’s been the last week, but really quite relaxing. May have to head down to the cafe nearby soon for some breakfast. #holidays

Still musing whether it's worth upgrading from macOS Sequia to Tahoe. The only compelling reason I can see at the moment is being able to use @hexaedre's excellent star mapping tool for Traveller and more. But the look of the UI still puts me off.

@BigJackBrass I think it’s interesting because it’s suggests that they’re still developing a single iOS even though they fork it when they roll it out. iPadOS is just branding, if that’s correct. They just enable different features when they deploy it, which is what happened when it was just all […]
