Have a safe & trouble free journey back home to Dundee. Hope you’re not too hungover.

Plus a gnome being conjured on the cover….

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

So, are you still 18th level? Or is this a different session?

Rare depiction of @dracowie.bsky.social from his uni LARPing of a Sartarite warrior in Apple Lane. Note his fashionable ‘80s hair, before the stress of practicing medicine led to his “distinguished of Dundee” hair style he now models.

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Apparently my speculations were inaccurate. Oh well.

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

A rare depiction of @dracowie.bsky.social LARPing days back when he was a wee fit lad in public school. What was the name of your LARP charactor Doc? And what year was the LARP set in?

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

So what’s your gaming for today?

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

So you have dice? Players for your sessions? Change of kilts?

Spending some time at a Greyhound station is one of the great American experiences. The right station can give you night upon night of nightmare fuel after just an hour.

A +2 sword in a Gumshoe game is quite the advantage. & what’s a more Canadian RPG system than Gumshoe?

Get some rest today. How long was your Uber ride btw?

Don’t forget to get plenty of rest….

How does the weather compare to Dundee?

Will you be able to keep up the pace? Still plenty of time to make your luggage arrive.

So, @dracowie.bsky.social which ruleset do you prefer? 13th Age with its montage rules or The One Ring with it's journey rules?

And it ends tomorrow morning?

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

So, when does the con start?

120

Perhaps you should cancel your appearance at Garycon & book a place at ChaosiumCon in Oz instead- join the tribe etc etc

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

In light of @dracowie.bsky.social ‘s continuing boycott of Australia, Manchester et al & his upcoming tour of Garycon- two questions remain. Does this make him a “Stunt Gaz” & has he been made a Guest of Honour/ Honor at Garycon?

171

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

You’ve travelled to Edinburgh for this? Doesn’t Dundee offer such occasions?

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I’m sure they’ll have some beer stained misprinted collectors editions for you.

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

I'm sure if you cancelled Garycon and ended your boycott of ChaosiumConOz you would have full gaming sessions. If only to mock your support of Aussie Rules football teams. Do it Doc! Australia is calling you. youtu.be/ZEyzx_FVVyw?...

Black clothes don’t suit you Doc- stick to your normal colour palette.

Is Alphonse a halfling with some gnome ancestry ?

Interested in finding out more about Questworlds- please note new date for the Q&A session with @icooper.bsky.social revisor the current edition of @robindlaws.bsky.social 's ruleset.

Also on the Gorge- you could adapt the plot for different locales. To misquote Kenneth Hite- "why not set it on Glorantha"? Once Glorantha fans see the film, I'm sure they would come up with some locations and variations. But I'm not going to indulge in spoilers here.

000

to have support from the PC you are not using at the time. You wouldn't have a range of contacts as isolation is part of the plot set up. It could work as the first scenario in a "burned operatives" campaign frame.

Suggested RPG system for "The Gorge" pt2 - adapting Nights Black Agents Solo Ops by @robindlaws.bsky.social @kennethhite.bsky.social @mytholder.bsky.social swapping the characters around for the player for different scenes. This would allow for a generic skills set for 75% & allow different scenes

210

Suggested RPG system for "The gorge" pt 1. Questwords by @robindlaws.bsky.social for a GM & 2 players. Slight issue with both characters being snipers and therefore having a fair amount of duplicated skills. Best stress different motivations to act as significant keywords. Longcon format?

000

The location of the Gorge and what is in it forms part of the mystery of film and is probably best not known before a first watch. Needless to say, the mystery to our two protagonists is part of a conspiracy. Parts of the film feel like a computer game and you could adapt to an RPG system.

000

Just finished watching the horror-thriller- bit of romance film "The Gorge" on Apple TV+. While there's a number of plot holes, its a pretty effective film, set in on the two banks of the Gorge- once staffed by an American sniper; the other side by a Lithuanian sniper who fall for each other.

I’m looking forward to seeing @dracowie.bsky.social ‘s photos of his Hero Wars display with the centrepiece of his beer-stained Questworlds book.

130

And yes, while the new edition of Questworlds is generic, a commitment from Chaosium to start publishing a new Questworlds Glorantha book a year would be great. Still the best system for Glorantha. Creators, feel free to add to Jonstown Compendium in the meantime .

It's been a long haul to get this new edition of Questworlds published and it's disappointing that its only available in PDF at the moment with POD promised in a few weeks and a normal print run promised a lot more vaguely. & let's revise those HQG setting books/ adventures for the new edition.

Download the latest indie games

Additional genre packs for Questworlds have already been published- search DrivethruRPG for Questworlds will take you there. & on itch.io there's SPEC-OPS MAGICA CRISIS an manage/anime influenced pack. More is promised- perhaps @dracowie.bsky.social would like to present his genre pack pitch?

itch.io is a simple way to find, download and distribute indie games online. Whether you're a developer looking to upload your game or just someone looking for something new to play itch.io has you co...

Excited and or curious about @robindlaws.bsky.social 's Questwords? The editor/ revisor of the system @icooper.bsky.social has been posting a lot on bluesy explaining the system. Patreon backers of Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff may wish to ask Robin direct on his system and design thoughts.

Attention 7th Sea Khitai backers: refund notice

So Kickstarter backers of 7th Sea Khitai have received an update from Chaosium saying all the outstanding rewards (basically everything that isn't the core book & map) have been cancelled. Refunds are offered. A long & winding road which has ended up in a dead end. www.chaosium.com/blogattentio...

chaosium.com

After examining numerous ways forward, we have decided to cancel and refund Kickstarter backers for outstanding items in the 7th Sea Khitai Kickstarter.

“Stuck on the train”. Flying to Dundee in your private cargo jet, more like. Did you remember to pack your copy of Questworlds? Or did you leave it in the pub?

030

Yes, but that launch party is on your private plane, right?

Dimbyd @dimbyd.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Doc posted from his private cargo jet to share his happiness. He’ll be landing at his private airfield nearby his castle “soon”

Lens distortion - it's really A2 sized. Right Doc?
