Oh hey mate, I'll see you there again - this time I'll be there as a seller too! Last time I did get myself a copy of EGADS, it's very nice 💜💜💜

Got this for my wife for Christmas. We've been playing a bit of it - heaps of fun and quite a challenge. It is billed as "every move you make is a trade off where you have to give something to your opponent" - no move is ever safe or easy. Both simple and complex and really good fun.

Little cardboard squares and a game board. The box lid and components of the board game "The field of the cloth of gold".

Today we had 6 different #ttrpgs running at Neon Brisbane 2026, now in its third year running. Although this was smaller than prior years, we all had a great amount of fun! A great free event for locals - we had both old hands plus a few people who had never played a tabletop RPG before!

Crash investigator: what happened here? Uniformed police: looks like this guy was just walking along the street in full plate with a shield and the car just hit him! Crash investigator: ahh yes, I've seen this before. We're looking for a lowered Thaco, probably a 2027 model.

A poster which indicates that Vietnam is going to have its second car brand launch in 2027, named the "Thaco".

I knew this would become a thing. Blood Blowl (aka the greatest game ever made) is back in my house - the kids are loving it and so am I. Realised that we have about 8 or 9 teams, including all my very very old teams. Going to start a family league. They are all busy painting miniatures.

Today I got to speak at the Ipswich Creators Summit on tabletop games and then after with a few local creators we ran demos and playtests all afternoon and introduced new people to tabletop games. I talked about the power of community and collaboration in the art of making board games and #ttrpg

Over on a discord server, the question was posed: "If GURPS is lego, your favourite system is..." My response: "If GURPS is lego, Apocalypse World is going down the creek and hitting each other with sticks." What's yours?

Have I ever told you that I believe Blood Bowl fourth edition is the best game ever made (yeah go on...) I'm thinking of making the move to the 2026 edition of the game. Any thoughts on that matter? Is it good? Should I fear it? Should I just keep playing the classic "living rules" with my kids?

Oppian Wives #ttrpg is smashing along now I've cleared some mental hurdles. Need to validate art truly is public domain, and formatting things. Art will have HEAVY mods, these are classical paintings to be messed with. Rules bits by me, then Tory does her bits in the ancient history / background.
