Ok, I’m kinda proud of this! Decided to start cooking ‘properly’ - no packet, no pre made stuff… So I made a beef & mushroom pie - shortcrust base, puff pastry top (that was the hard bit) - hope it tastes as good as it looks!
The new Hellraiser: Revival video game is bloody, gruesome, creepy, twisted and pretty full on BDSM from the get go. And it is excellent. It’s spot on for the franchise, and just works. Now, if I can only get past the Chatterer…

Started on Gadriel from the Wardens of Ultramar set. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings
we covered a lot of (under)ground in tonight's Dragonbane in hundreds of miles of drains, sweet and clean now after the rain. you should see it down there! shame about the spider cult with @ottomancer.bsky.social @dampscot.bsky.social @amacdon6.bsky.social
I ran my #RPG 1st session of #CallofCthulhu: The Laundry last night, 1st game I’ve ran since before COVID. Was really nervous, 4 players enjoyed it enough to agree to a 2nd session! Enjoyed getting back behind the screen - thanks to @cstross.bsky.social for creating a great sandbox to play in!
Right you beautiful nerds, a very good friend of mine has just joined Bluesky. He does some cool warhammer type things and is generally just an all-round good dude, so could you please drop @ghostofdorn.bsky.social a follow and get him settled in nicely like the bunch of adorable rogues you are?
So Mongoose, Palladium, Steamforged, CMON (I know are defunct but still) and now Modiphius - all companies I’ll never back nor purchase goods from again.
I get it’s a ‘collectors’ edition yadda yadda, but there is no earthly way this is worth £250. Its hilarious.
Played the OG Chaosium campaign, the boxed set with all the cool props, passports, the build-your-own mannequin, etc. 🤟
It’s a bit of a beast, this… #boardgames #chthulhu @chaosium.bsky.social have knocked it out of the park on design and quality!
I’ve kept my tongue on the Discworld RPG Kickstarter, but after today’s update, I have to say, I think you need to think about how Modiphius are burning goodwill in the Discworld IP, @rhi.bsky.social - a LOT of very upset fans with how they’re handling what’s turning into a fiasco.
First bit of painting I’ve finished in a while. The red came out darker than intended, but I’m still happy with the end result. And of course, a back banner was essential! #40k #warhammer #nerdlings
I’ve spent the day revisiting Half-Life2 after digging out my Xbox copy of the Orange Box. And boy, even after 22 years, it’s still a better game than some of the stuff released today.
Everything completed so far for my 40k second edition Ultramarines. Went full on 90s aesthetic and goblin green bases in June. No regrets 😀
Finished Dark Angels company master, finished for the second time! Little annoying reflection on the light won't balance on the phone camera settings. It's not as shiny as it looks
Just working out that the 1986 movie, Maximum Overdrive is in fact the prequel to Pixar’s Cars… Making the Cars universe a Stephen King setting!
In other news, I’m slowly finding I’m losing interest in my hobby. I’ve no motivation to paint wargame anymore. My painting output has reduced to very little, and even then it’s not as good as I used to do.
After the final 2 kickstarters I’ve pledged for are delivered, that’s me done with the idea. 2 large companies, both massively late, with little or no customer service focus. I’ll stick to supporting small companies who care from now on.
goddamnit. First Dolly Then Tim Now Optimus freaking Prime?!?!?! I sketched this pic of Prime's head yesterday, oddly enough, even just got myself an Optimus Prime toy delivered yesterday. RIP Peter Cullen, and thank you for all the joy you gave me, as a child and adult. Till All Are One. gutted
Todays a good day for self care. not gonna lie.

And with a base added, I was going to go the whole hog on the carrier deck but I'm fed up with it now, so onto the next thing!
In September I’m going to be running a session of the 1st edition of The Laundry RPG based on @cstross.bsky.social’a excellent books. Now I’m not saying I’m diving in deep, but I wanted to give a level of detail… so I redesigned the character sheet to match the Government Design System…
