I love this level of nerdiness. The talks from the Warhammer Conference are online. This one discusses where the math of the game doesn't match the narrative world of the game.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The first episode of WORZEL GUMMIDGE (1979) sees the loveable scarecrow come alive for the first time, and it's directed like a scene from an Italian zombie film. Lucio Fulci would approve!

PPWR lands another blow to an already precarious tabletop industry

Regulatory compliance takes up far too many resources and hours.
