Right its time to switch gears, from getting eldest ready to go to Uni, to clearing up all the crap she's left behind and gently placing it in the shrine that is her home bedroom 🤣

Back from a round trip that started at six this morning to drop my eldest off at Durham University. Blown away by how green and lovely it all is, and the reception that she received from the student ambassadors when she arrived. Also, her college mascot is a dragon! Well done, our Evie!

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor.

Tiring of a steady diet of Western Noirs, Smart Alec Crime Shows, and Grim Dark Fantasy in my TV Habbits, I once again discover the wonder of the various Monkey/Journey to the West films. Currently watching this wonderful colourful fantasy fest, Monkey King and Red Boy. 😍 youtu.be/Q4hFebCpeAc?...

I'm seeing strong parallels between the situation with Piddlington today and that of Pimlico in 1946 (beyond they both start with "P"). I wonder which plucky British film company will make a documentary drama, seeing that the Ealing Comedy people are long gone? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passpor...

Back at it with my OpenQuest Thursday online group. A bit of setting the objectives for Season 4 of the game; now the characters are well on their way to being self-motivated movers and shakers. They have their orders from the Emperor of Gatan, time will only tell if they stick to them. 1/

Oh, and C&T isn't the only game that is going to see a push. I'm aware there's a whole bunch of OQ, Reboot the Future, Beyond Dread Portals stuff and even an MIA Monkey Companion(!). Excuses aside, I have a plan called #OperationSunrise to get all this out. Stay tuned... #D101Games

Bigger comprehensive announcement in the works, but looking to do a big update on Crypts and Things and its associated adventures this coming Friday. First on the C&T Remastered Kickstarter is the MIA adventure book, Under Dark Spires, its current state, and how I intend to finally get it out. 1/

Another breakfast session on this, and I now have a prototype system based on Grim and Dangerous, my upcoming Oldhammer system, an emerging Superheroes Rooster and an artist, so there's a whole cast of characters illustrated even before any crowdfunding campaign. Who says caffeine isn't wonderful!

Over breakfast, had a quick look at my Anti-Super Heroes RPG, which takes the genre from a British perspective (so more Watchmen, The Boys, etc). Added a new "hero" to the roster of the Shireman. Joining Northern Monkey, Geordie Byrd, and Mrs Moneybags, is Ion Brew, "Made in Scotland, from Quantums"

Sorting out the mighty D101games.com, which has been running slow for a year or so. Part of me wants to start again from scratch, figuring that my mad creativity will quickly fill the void. But then I looked through seventeen years of posts, about new releases, convention attendance. 1/

Digital comic book-style illustration of a laughing Petra Parker swinging through the air high above the streets of New York on a web line.

The city in darkness beneath her is a washed out yellow-green, but Petra is in a bold blue and red Ditko-inspired Spidey suit with slightly short legs, all the better to show off her trans flag coloured sneakers.

The choice is clear: do we want more austerity or increased well-being? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/08... The UK economy is failing, but that is entirely by choice. We could flourish if only we broke our obsession with finance and put people first.

The Games Workshop edition of RuneQuest was my first and most inspirational RQ. Both OpenQuest and the upcoming Wyrdsword (a Fantasy BRP based on the Basic Universal Game Engine) used those happy memories of running it in the 80s-90s as a base, with additions to make it a more fun, modern game. 1/
