Stovolds Fourth is it? That's a bold play - reminds me of the All Britain Finals of '03 when it was used last... - and where I swore to never again fall prey to it... And so I learned the ideal counter to it: using the FIFTH amendment, which of course means I can go straight to King Cross.

I just got a snazzy new mic to record the #AuthorRead #AudioBook of my book series, #AstonSaints. Apparently, authors reading their own work is particularly loved by fans as the author knows the characters and story the best and so can convey it better than anyone else. Other authors find this too?

Bryan has just finished the artwork for his 6th graphic novel collaboration with @eyedotter.bsky.social - "Lo! An Amazon!" In the Age of Revolutions demanding greater liberties for mankind, Mary Wollstonecraft spoke out for the other "'one-half of the human race": that of womankind. #BryanTalbot

Anyone know if @heroforgeminis.bsky.social has a spell effect for Mage Hand? Yukio just got it and she's totally the type of geek who'd be riding an animal from her Bag of Tricks whilst studying a spellbook and levitating it with Mage Hand: and now I want to model that in #HeroForge!

She was a PhD student on Earth and treats magic as a research exercise. And she is more than happy to throw the summoned creatures from the Bag of Tricks out as meat-shields: she'll call them Alpha, Beta and Gamma - and her familiar is "Data" - short for "Data Point Anomaly"!

And the only way to get home is to learn enough magic to cast a spell to do it - and the only way to progress in power is to gain levels - and the only way to do that is through adventuring. So: she's an abjuration wizard with a Bag of Tricks as her starting magic item.

I always wanted to play a character that was frankly terrified by all of these weird monsters but could never come up with a way to justify it in-character. But... - someone from Earth, in Faerun due to a particle accelerator / summoning ritual accident? - yup: they'd be scared stupid by monsters!

Just once on #TheTraitors when they banish someone and they turn out to be an actual traitor, I wish that instead of the usual "I've had so much fun" boring pap, they'd be "I just wish I could've murdered more of you! You all deserved to die!" and then get dragged out screaming. It's what I'd do.
