New arrival today. I backed this on Kickstarter. It's a beautiful book to hold. The GM's screen is lovely. A sci-fi horror rpg by @tabcreations.com. I'm looking forward to getting some quality reading time with this. I much prefer hard copy to pdf. As to scheduling play time, ehm...

My haul from #tabletopscotland this year. It's not much, but I was very pleased to find these. Now all I need is #2 and I've got the complete run.

I'm ready for Tabletop Scotland. On the 11th hour, I'm finally happy with the scenario I've written. We'll see if it survives contact with the players. Now to bed, as I'm up at the crack o' sparrows fart. First game - 1030 hrs. #Dirtbags #TabletopScotland

Hilarious. Worth reading through the thread. Some serious poetic talent in there.

It's seven days until Tabletop Scotland and I'm STILL working on the one-shot I'm meant to be running. I've been slowly chipping away at it for five months and it feels flat to me. It's a point/hex crawl in a sci-fi dystopia city. Pensive.

Not quite finished. I need more research and practice drawing lighting effects on metal. Other than that, I'm quite happy. #Dolmenwood

A Breggle constable from Lankshorn, Dolmenwood. About 5 hours of work so far. I'm scared to ink it lest I fuck it up. Still not sure about the shield heraldry.

One of my all-time favourite movies. I first watched it when I was 13. I went to a friend's house after school. I felt very rebellious, as it was an 18 certificate at the time, and my parents would have gone apoplectic at me, had they found out.

Going old school. I had a crack at some papercraft to make a borderless, multi-subsector map for Traveller. I'm putting together a keyed faction/intelligence/adventure seed map. Having to flick through multiple pdfs is very inefficient. #Traveller

A slightly different subject matter from my normal posts. I'm having a crack at making cordage from nettles. 'Cordage' is Bushcraft-ese for 'string'. First photo - strip the leaves and stinging trichomes from the stems. Second photo - separate the stem's outer fibres from the pith.

This morning's quake in the Philippines detected in Edinburgh on both the gravity meter and the @raspishake.bsky.social. On the Raspishake it is mostly visible in the lowest frequency bin of the spectrogram. On the gravity meter the signal has stuck the instrument against its endstop.

Gravity meter output, showing signal from a large quake shortly after midnight on 2026-06-08. The trace stops after that; the instrument has got stuck on its end-stop.

Shakenet save image showing quake in the Philippines detected in Edinburgh. The signal mainly shows as an increase in the lowest-frequency bin in the spectrogram.

I've been involved in a conversation about making zines, and whether you need an editor. Now I'm texting my mum at stupid o'clock, trying to track down the typewriter I had when I was a bairn... 40 years ago. Rabbit holes and all that.

My first attempt at making sourdough bread. The first loaf had a very crisp loaf. The second, I sprayed water on the top before baking. It had a more pliable crust. Neither of them rose well. I put that down to being too hydrated and my knife wasn't sharp enough to make a good score. Tastes braw tho

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

Welcome to Isengard. It's lovely - to begin with.

A Dunlending fortress (well, technically a fortress of Gondor that's long since gone to seed).

The campaign covers events from 2965-3000, so we get a LOT more canonical locations and events

Pictured are two swords recovered from the river Forth by Stirling Bridge, Scotland. The one on the left in 1869, the one on the right in 1878. Both were used at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1296, William Wallace's major victory. On Monday passed, I held the one on the right in my own hands. 😊
