Me: "Hey you know how whenever we're lead writers on Breaking the News, a government collapses or someone dies, or their career implodes?" @beakachu.bsky.social : "Yeah?" Me: "You don't think the Clacton by-election will coincide with our lead writing shift for the 6th of August do you?"
Good to see a classic @fightingfantasy.bsky.social as the centrepiece of @shetlandlibrary.bsky.social's summer display! Creature of Havoc too, what a belter.
I cannot stress enough how funny the upcoming episodes are. Carpy is *phenomenal*. #ttrpg #fantasy #party

Ah ya bastard, that's Paul Sneddon died. He was a really nice human being, and so fucking funny. I spent the night eating falafel with him and his family in a mews somewhere in the West End, the first night he spent there since inheriting it. Got lost trying to walk home, took hours. RIP Paul

Hide and seek. Hiding in a paper recycling wheelie bin. Every leg muscle cramped. I can hear the kids searching. Please send help I'm not sure I can stand up.
Proposal: Glup Shitto campaign Play any #StarWars ttrp (let's say Edge of the Empire by @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social) BUT: For character gen you MUST bring an actual Star Wars action figure to the table, and make your character around that. Then use the action figures instead of minis.
When Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed was released in France, did they just call it "Scooby Deux"?

I *cannot* believe we got such a storied actor to play the Warhound. He's been in fucking *Elden Ring*. Little John on BBC's Robin Hood. RED DWARF. And here he is cutting goblins in half and melting orcs for laughs. Get the latest episode listened to, it's got acting pedigree *and* goblin nudity.
For he is the Warhound, and he brings The World's Pain with him... HAIL CHAOS #podcast's unstoppable force pursuing our valiant heroes! This maniac is played by the amazing Gordon Kennedy, whose credits include BBC's #RobinHood, #RedDwarf, #EldenRing, etc. Listen now! podfollow.com/1878456149
