Those of a particularly weak disposition should look away now as I have updated my profile to include an actual photo of myself... They tell me it is essential for authors to have, but I can't be the only one who HATES looking at images of themself can I?! Here it is below in all its gory glory...

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

And - again due to so many tables playing at once - I have no idea on who is playing what! - we are very much a self-organising anarchic collective with zero structure I am afraid! That said - any group of D&D tables will have a healthy mix of long-term campaigns and one-shots.

Roleplayers Guild Birmingham @rpgbirmingham.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
Sorry I didn't see this before last night! - did you come anyway? With 18 or so tables it is hard to generalise.... - some people might appreciate a pre-generated character - some might ask you to do it there and then - and you never know what level the table is playing at in advance.

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!

I love recycling characters as NPCs - partly because I know them very well but mostly because I always have a @heroforgeminis.bsky.social mini already created! This is Vrakdaar, well known dragonborn rogue: he has a bag of holding in his coat and finds it very useful to hide stolen property!
