I had an awesome time at UK Games Expo. Caught up with a *lot* of friends that I haven't seen for ages. Played a game with one of the members of my local board games club for the first time this year 🤣. Didn't spend too much money and only gained 1lb over the weekend! Definitely well worth it.

It's too hot to really do anything useful today. So I thought I'd revisit one of my old board game ideas. It's too hot to turn my computer on, so I'm going old school with pen and paper and using bits of the old version.

An a4 sheet of paper with a hex grid representing a spaceship drawn on it. The spaceship is separated into different sections. Doors between sections are coloured red, blue or green. In the top right corner is a section titled doors which shows which colour doors are open. At the bottom of the a4 sheet are four words: metal, plasma, pulse and laser. Tucked under each word is a card telling the players what effect that type of weapon has on the Alien that is hunting the players aboard the spaceship. The Alien is not pictured.

if you're trans and in the UK then please know that i see you and i respect and support and cherish you. it's a tiny, tiny cadre of stupid, bigoted, and closed-minded cis shitheels who are behind this, not "the silent majority". as a middle-aged cis white guy i will stick up for you, publicly.

Did my weekly weigh-in this morning. I'm under 90kg now. 🙂 I was over 102kg at start of year. The good thing about keeping track of my weight in both kg and stones & pounds is that a new milestone is never far away 😂

Tonight the writing group I've joined were going through how to set up your amazon account to sell your books. I've completed first draft of chapter 1, so I think it'll be a while before I need to use that but was interesting 🙂

It cannot be overstated how much hobby gamers underestimate how unintuitive and difficult hobby games are to non-gamers. This is perhaps even more true of professional game designers, publishers and reviewers/pundits, broadly speaking.

I don't get this whole "McSweeny masterminded Labour's election victory in 2024" . Labour LOST 560,335 votes from 2019 to 2024. You might say that McSweeny managed to target votes more efficiently, but I think it's more to do with the fact that the Tories LOST over 7 MILLION votes from 2019 to 2024

Yesterday, I attended a follow on course from the how to write a novel course I attended 6-7 years ago. Gonna try and finish writing my novel this year. It was also great just to meet new people. There were 12 of us all at different stages of writing their books.
