Today's big revelation is not that there was an alien civilisation on Mars, but the actor who played Deanna Troi on Star Trek Next Generation has a cheeky cor blimey London accent! 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5UC...

Cracking on in getting the Wyrd Sword draft finished. Getting there. Today is blitzing through the GMs advice chapter, focusing on keeping it short and snappy while still being useful. Trying to explain how to run BRP so it avoids Lazy River style play and combat is quick and fun. #brp #ttrpg

I just backed Kev Adams Chaos Dwarf Warband by Paimon Miniatures on @kickstarter.com // I procrastinated on this one, but hooray, I did the right thing in the end!

I've just seen the cover to the Complete Trumptonshire blu-ray, and now I need you all to see it too, so there can be an outbreak of delighted cooing and "aw" noises all across Bluesky. It's done my heart the power of good, it really has.

My messy writing stage of my Gloranthan RuneHack #ttrpg is at an end. I've got bits for everything I want in the initial release, and I've identified bits, such as spirits, I want to work out later. Next writing session is to sweep through and tidy up this prototype. Example character screenshot.

Big outing of Staycation pt2, Manchester Cat Cafe (recently reopened at the top of Deans Gate). A very fluffy and calming experience (at least two degrees of calm lower than baseline). Also a quick walk along Deans Gate, hence the picture of John Rylands Library, before tea at the Real Greek (Yum!)

Still wearing after yesterday's outing to Manchester, where I was asked to decode what was going on with it by our waitress at tea 🤣 Also, @thetweedmeister.bsky.social has it which means we should never be seen wearing it at the same time, or the UNIVERSE WILL IMPLODE!!! 🤣

Thank you for reminding me! I'm late with potato internet. I'm on the coast so thought this one appropriate. 😊

Egads, I remember the Oldham Space Program pictured here in the town centre, before funding cuts turned it into a Children's Playground. Pictured here are Astronauts Ramsbottom, Lees, and Trafford, who proved for definite that every planet has a North😂

After a six month gap since the last session, our plucky band of OpenQuest Thursday adventurers assembled last night and banged out an epic conclusion to our current season (3) of our ongoing five year strong campaign. Big thanks to @thetweedmeister.bsky.social , ian and Ginger Matt! :) 1/

Yesterday I was shouting "Mega City Yorkshire I am in Leeds Creative District!" as we visited Leeds Armouries to view the Genghis Khan Exhibition - which was jolly good. After which we had a curry at Mumtaz's, which was magical! 😍

Today's terrible dilemma, courtesy of @newtus.bsky.social and @nmtdrzine.bsky.social - which to read first.

The morning caffeinated hacking madness continues. I'm sort of on holiday, at home, still responsible for cleaning up, so I can justify it as a fun thing to do. My rules lite Gloranthan game, has more meat on the bones. Its grown to 15 pages. I've decided if it gets to more than 23, I'll bin it🤣 1/

Smear campaigns like the one against Jason are nothing new. They're a tactic imported from the US' hateful playbook to discredit outspoken, Black individuals. Help us stand up against hate and division 👇 https://goodlawproject.org/petition/stand-in-solidarity-with-jason-arday

Stand up to hate and division by adding your name.

Jason is the youngest Black professor in Cambridge’s history. Rightwing newspapers are trying to smear him with fake accusations of plagiarism. We can't let them.

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

If you are off to #Grogmeet in Preston, UK, in November, I'll be there running the mythic city-based adventure that started my Convention GMing career thirty years ago at Gen Con UK Loughborough 1996, the Temple of Liars, using #OpenQuestRPG.

Neurosis' return with a new mindblowing LP , An Undying Love for a Burning World, was a very pleasant surprise for me. Now they've teamed up with the Mental Health/Suicide Prevention organisation, The Firekeeper Alliance, for an absolute killer video for the first two tracks.

Oh no, my recent flip through of RuneQuest has inspired me to whip up this quick thing... 🤣

Bit of evening reading with an old friend. Can hardly believe this "new" edition of RuneQuest is a decade old in a couple of years. #RuneQuest #Glorantha

While we here on Blue Sky, sharing our RPG hot takes, letting others know about our online games, promoting new games, and pictures of the latest convention games, spare a thought for all those gamers in their bunkers. Who have been playing the same game with the same people FOR DECADES! 🤣 #ttrpg

My wife jokes that my fantasy ttrpg interests are "all about the Goblins". This morning, while I was cleaning up the Grim and Dangerous draft, this turned out to be literally true. As I ended up quickly doing a brain dump of how I was doing Goblinoid races in the game! #ttrpg #oldhammerRPG

Get in! Bastionland in its previous incarnations (Into the Odd, Electric Bastionland, and Mythic Bastionland) is one of the high points of the BOSR. I'm expecting no less for this 😍

Click your heels three times, and you'll be taken to the fantasical land of ...

So the first iteration of my Oldhammer RPG, Grim and Dangerous, is based in scope on Warhammer 1st. So magic is only Battle Magic and Necromancy. I'm quite tickled that the Cult of Eternal Elizabeth, a fantasy version of Elizabeth I who becomes Lich Queen to rule forever, combines the two :) 2/
