The unexpected urge to look at WFRP again! Mind you, a new edition is due I think?
The third and final session of first-time GM player’s Call of Cthulhu tonight. A family curse, witchmarks, possession, exhumed bodies at midnight. We delivered a baby, and watched a witch reconstituted from bones and vomiting rats. I got to punch the villainous priest, too. 10/10 😀
Paul@spookshow71.bsky.social · 5d agoSo this week one of my players ran her second Call of Cthulhu session - and yet again, she did a wonderful job! Brilliant characters (especially the punchable ones), she wholly improvised a session of hypnosis, and I got to call a vicar a callous ghoul. 10/10 can't wait for more :)
15 and I got completely thrashed by the Fomorians in our first game of Moytura by @bitewinggames.bsky.social this morning. Enjoyed it! 🙂
0527, Sunday Awake an hour as usual. House asleep. Cup of tea. Drawing. Good morning :)
Banging on the door of a shop before opening time only ensures that aforementioned opening time is so strictly adhered to that you would not believe it.

Andrew Smith@zos93.bsky.social · 5d agoHaving finished - and wildly enjoyed - AC Black Flag Resynched (for the first time since the original came out), with all the Odyssey stuff about at the moment, have decided to replay AC Odyssey. I'd forgotten how much *stuff* there is you can do!

...and I've rattled through book 2 in no time at all. I like how the supernatural is handled 👍 I'm moving straight on to book 3, The Hangman's Song too. Will likely take a break after that, but it's going to be good to have a (new to me) well-established series I can pick up when I need to.
Paul@spookshow71.bsky.social · last wk.I don’t generally read crime fiction, but I thought this was pretty good. Toe-curlingly grim in places, mind. The supernatural elements that have had some reviews a-raging, of course, put it right up my street. Have started book 2. That’s a good sign.

Paul@spookshow71.bsky.social · last wk.I was talking books to an older lady who came into the shop last week, and she said that she and her husband liked James Oswald books - 'they're detective novels - with a hint of the occult!' she said vaguely spookily 😀 Thought I'd investigate - so this week's read is Natural Causes by James Oswald
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

So, after a bit of research today, I've got a copy of Aegean on its way to me. :) we-evolve.co.uk/games/aegean
Aegean | we evolve
AEGEAN is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mythic heroes building a new, free city on the shores of the Aegean Sea. There are neighbouring cities to trade or war with, monsters to kill, go...

Paul@spookshow71.bsky.social · 2w agoWell, I thought that was pretty damn good. Rest of family did, too. Now, about getting myself a new Greek myth RPG... 🙂
