Finally getting around to basing my Krieg infantry. Just got a few more HW teams and a couple of Artillery teams to do. Then I have to re-learn how to paint cavalry...

one of my proudest moments was being told by a former Gove staffer that he once angrily proclaimed: "I am NOT an eldritch horror!" in a team meeting, because of me.

If you were writing a second season for Star City, would you keep it in the 1970s or do the same decade-skip thing as For All Mankind? I'd personally lean towards the former, as with the latter we quickly start running into other iterations of the main characters elsewhere.

My housemate frequently points out that his favourite wines are all from former-fash countries (Germany, Spain, Italy). Do the Japanese do grape wine?

I generally run on one strong coffee in the morning, diluted by drinking water through the day. I only drink tea when I'm in NL, where I can't get enough of it. Doesn't taste right in the UK, and I swear it's the water.

Culinary experiment of the day: salted egg yolk. As advertised, makes a good alternative to parmesan when grated over pasta. Seems less salty than cheese which is amusing considering how much salt went into the process. Half a yolk is enough for one bowl.

I took to calling it the Internet Kessler Syndrome back when we thought the cause would be spambots- enough bad-actor (in which I include AI) traffic makes the whole platform untrustworthy and, by extension, unusable; eventually it ends up just being bots trying to scam other bots.

Also, I got to use the following descriptions: "The radish gets up, faceplants, gets up again..." "You turn around to see the radish spirit making dirt angels..." "The radish stares at you blankly in a way that only an ambulatory vegetable could..." I really am a poor friend to this NPC.

Tonight in Obojima: the players track down their tiny radish spirit friend who is in the aftermath of an all-night mushroom bender. The fighter (the only character in the group of Medium size) places the radish on their shoulder. After a few moments, they hear a tiny whisper: "I am so high..."

The Dutch terms for a moped and the less powerful version of a moped are "bromfiets" and "snorfiets", respectively "humming bike" and "purring bike" "Snorfiets" can also be parsed as "moustache bike" As ever, do with this information what you will

unfortunately my order of the special edition of The Wicked and the Warped got switched with someone’s Necromunda box. GW can’t replace it because they’re out of copies. This is a long shot, but if there’s someone out there who’s missing their Necromunda box and got my book instead, let me know 😔
