Actually @ctd@mastodon.social. Just lurking here because I entered a contest
My time travel expedition was successful. Went back many years and sneaked an otherwise useless pocket, that nobody knew what it was for, into jeans designs so that it would be usable for earphones in the 21st century.
After the most recent Of Dice (not Mice) and Meeples (tekeli.li/of-dice-and-meeples/) I felt compelled to look at all the P&P titles, mostly from @postmarkgames.bsky.social and give them some air time. #BoardGames
Exam question. What are the odds of rolling 3d6 and a d20 at the same time and the totals being the same on each? Extra marks for calculating the odds of them landing just as in the photograph. #boardgames
Well I guess I need to research alternatives to Apple Watch that keep the health data which is somewhat useful. But will resurrect my old analogue watch for timekeeping. Some kind of fitness band?
Warning. The new versions of Apple's operating systems next week remove support for older generations of #pokemon Pokemon from Kanto and Johto are no longer compatible and you must choose alternatives after upgrading.
Finding my way through my vast @postmarkgames.bsky.social catalog again in a more orderly fashion. Might even get to improve my scores. #boardgames

Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete (GOG) on Mac via VCMI. But wait you say. That is an iPad. Well yes, but it is connected via Jump Desktop to the Mac just to see if it worked. As you can see it does. Works better than HD ver. that never quite worked right. #retrogaming #HeroesOfMightAndMagicIII
Trying to find enough 1p pieces to play Master of Coin from @postmarkgames.bsky.social was a challenge. They are also unsatisfying to flip so may revert to dice for RNG and just use the coins as markers. #boardgames #PostmarkGames
Summer foraging item. Use it for crafting recipes, put in your shipping box, or gift to a grateful villager. #FieldsOfMistria
It is raining. In London. This is not a drill. Actual rain. Ok. Not very heavy but actual rain. Amazing. First time for months.
This post must be stored in a cool, dry place. If you can find one…
