This Wednesday I am running Viral for one final, very last time - and perhaps the most important people of all: my regular group of friends - some I have known for 30+ years. Yes, I never ran it for them at the time because we were playing something else. #VIRAL

Gotta say, for a 67 year old, Gary Numan is killing it at Glastonbury.
Giving Impossible Landscapes a second run through. My players you ask? @sdorward.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social @discourseminis.bsky.social @jaredlogan.bsky.social No pressure eh.
The sequel to Viral - VERMIS is currently sat at 135 pages long and we're still not done. It's going to be a big honking book!
Playtesting Vermis last night and something was revealed that literally made the players gasp in surprise.
