Tonight's session of Wolves at the Door #TTRPG saw us enter the spinning pyramid of the Cult of Nor via tentacles, steal the 7 magical gems, escape the 7 Guardians of Nor, outwit the Court of Foul Sorcerors and their matromonial trickery, and find a portal to the Castle of Darkness. #roleplaying

Today was the inaugural playtest of the (provisionally named) G.E.R.P.S. RPG. Would've liked to name it something else but.... Well, thanks Steve Jackson! 😜 Anyway our heroes stormed a goblin stronghold, defeated a nefarious king, solved a mystery & generally saved the day! #Roleplaying #RPG #TtRPG

Right, that’s the end of the three days of exhausting madness. To celebrate I had three doughnuts.. A day off ahead for retro gaming and reading. Metal Slug and Magician Lord on tonight’s agenda

When I was very young, I wrote a letter (remember those?) to Michael Benton (a foremost British palaeontologist) because I loved his books on dinosaurs which I read daily I may still have the letter he wrote back somewhere. Very cool Now I just tag authors to say I loved their books #booksky

If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.
