And the final round was a concession win by the Skaven after they were battered into the corner by Bob and his Greathammer. So I came second in my first ever tournament, which was cool. Go Sigmar! (Nurgle won....)

Won 18-17 against the Chaos Dwarves. Came down to the last roll of the game where my Prosecutors bravely died too early for my opponent! This was my end of game death pile. They died for Sigmar!!

Lots of Stormcast Eternals in the dead pile.

Watching Troy with a classics nerd allowed me to experience what it must have been like trying to experience the latest D&D movie as 'just a fantasy film' in a room of hardcore players. Oh the sage thrown at that screen was epic! 'Where's fucking Cassandra!!!' being a favourite.

Session 1 of Werewolf: Roadtrip today, with @fandomlife.net 1-on-1 drama antics inspired by modern cowboy tales and gothic Americana. Fascinating and fun experiment in laying down a rock solid premise and then riffing hard to make great choices.

Evidence the climate is changing? In Newcastle we called the autumn half term holiday 'Blackberry Week' because we would pick brambles off the bushes at the back of our village. This is the 2nd batch I've had so far this year from one bush on my garden, 3 miles from where I grew up, 2 months early

I just finished reading Fight with Spirit by @storybrewersroleplaying.com. It's great and I'm buzzing to try it out soon It did get me thinking about that messy space between gamers and sport. Are sports related games interesting to you, or is there a disconnect with sport that makes them not work?
