“the (frankly worrying) amount of effort which goes into your game is always on show and I appreciate it greatly”

This is one of the nicest feedback I’ve ever had for my game.

The price you pay for loving them is knowing how much it’s going to hurt. It is a price well worth paying. So long you big black slab of lab’.

Well after 5 years faithful service my gaming laptop is getting reformatted and regifted to my youngest (who’s managed to break his).

Now this looks like something to get excited for this year. Or maybe a little scared....
Happy Holidays, Ghost Hunters.

Time to play out 2025 and greet the new year. Hope you’ve got your wee dram and are ready for first foot. Happy new year in one hour all.

Well that’s the #pf2e Christmas adventure wrapped up with a bow and three pieces of Stickey tape. Santa is saved, Christmas endures and our players got magic item gifts and to spend Yule at the North Pole before resuming their adventures in 2026. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Anyone got any sage advice for using #foundry #vtt for gaming at home round a table? Keep seeing all these flat screen digital battle maps but the setup seems really expensive.

I’ve had feedback from my #pf2e players that they don’t feel powerful enough at level 5. It occurs to me that this is because I’ve been putting them up against severe threats for a while. Time to gen a bunch of trivial encounters. Let’s make them feel bad-ass.

A quick check on my time line tells me that today is my one year anniversary of posting for the first time to Bluesky. So happy anniversary to me I guess.

My Christmas themed #pf2e adventure continues tonight. The goal is for the players to arrive in tinsel brook, meet their contact, fight some gingerbread golems and have a sleigh ride chase scene. Knowing my players they may well achieve any one of these things.

For the first time ever, it’s a fake tree. I’m sure I’ll get used to it, it’s very high quality. I just miss the pine and resin smell.

It’s research, ok? For my #pf2e campaign. Need a Christmas themed session.

What? It is too!

A few weeks ago my players went to a carnival and I wanted to do a deck of many things stand. Problem is, it's super powerful and on occasion game breaking. So I fixed it. Below find the draws I used for the "Deck of Merry Things". Feel free to pilfer. These were for #PF2e but easily used for #DnD

Happy #doctorwho day.

Remember. “Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.”

Well my two weeks vacation time is almost up. I have used it to successfully move into my own home. I’d say I need a holiday from my holiday but I really can’t afford a holiday now. My credit card whimpers when I get it out. Still at least next month should be cheap… oh wait. Christmas. 🤪

I love you @paizo.com but could you please make your sales and order portal a little easier? Doesn’t work in chrome and is a kerfaffle on tablets. I’ve had to put in a ticket today as my digital order seems to be trying to send a physical copy too and won’t complete so I can’t download it. 😢
