For some reason I don't remember this being in your vid on primarch names.
Also can't believe I wasn't following you yet on here!

Holy crap, is this the origin of Perturabo's name? #40k #ironwarriors @arbitorian.bsky.social
Me! With small pack and all the right clothing, hands on hips looking out over a valley near Bleaklow in the Peak District. How very leadery, in a hill and moorland way!
Positive news outside of what I usually discuss on here - I've just qualified as a Hill and Moorland Leader! So if anyone wants to hire me to guide them across some wild uplands (but not mountains), give me a shout 😂
With MEEEEEE?
The website is back! Stock has been updated, gaps should be filled over the weekend. The shop is still a temporary measure, full site to come sometime. soon hopefully.

Booo! Fingers crossed it gets resolved swiftly
But I'd equally love to see an office drama of people with interesting histories and personal agendas coming and going from Utopia Planetia in the era between Nemesis and Picard. So many lazy dogshit designs in the Picard era; let's give a reason why! #trek #startrek
"If you were in charge of Star Trek, what would you do?"
I'd love to see a new take on the early federation that corrects the white boy nepo baby war on terror Enterprise era trek and did zero knowing nods at or rehashes of borg, khan, q etc. Maybe set just after the romulan war?
Post a character that starts with the letter B (first or last)
Ohnoes, I didn't realise mira was going to be there! I was running demo games all day but completely missed her 😕
The Shivershield game run by members of the players' circle (with terrain by Battlin' Barrow) drew a lot of attention. Four rival bands attempting to plunder a barrow without disturbing the resident wyrm. Of course it got disturbed!
Why not both?
Thanks everyone who came to see us at Salute yesterday. A great day and our best yet. The demo table was constantly busy and the crowds at the stand always several deep. We'll be auditing stock and topping up over the coming weeks, aim to have the webstore restocked by the end of the month.
Oakbound are excited to be releasing their new fantasy skirmish starter set 'Shivershield' at SALUTE 53.
There'll be demo and participation games throughout the hall for you to get to grips with this compelling wargame.

This had a superb reception on the day!
Thank you #salute #salute53 for a great day yesterday. I ran 3 demo #wargames of #shivershield for @oakboundstudio.bsky.social and the reception was excellent - although I think the superb crannog model was a big part of that!
I wish I'd taken some photos myself!
And I always forget how tall you are. So used to seeing you sitting at a table for games or beer...
I trust you made it safely?
Snakes: The Descent
Ladders: the Ascension
Best Star Trek crew; wrong answers only
And I'll be there running demo games of SHIVERSHIELD, so come say hi and try it out! #wargames #salute #salute53
The title of "Wickedest Man in the World" seems to be in contention again. You can learn more about the original holder of that dubious honour by listening to Lovecraft Investigations: Crowley. crowley.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...
Anatopism. Like 'anachronism' but for place. (literally 'something out of its proper place')
This is a real word already but definitely needs adopting by fantasy writers for the reasons skeeted!
Fenris have been another great supporter of our games. But things from them at #Salute53 too!
Fun fact: the Fenris Sulaco ladder appears in at least 4 of our games - variously as a ladder, a zombie elephant howdah and a replacement bumper for a Vauxhall Viva
The amazing thing about writing is it's basically time travel and whenever I think about that it blows my mind. It's a genuine miracle.
I mean, just think about it: a Chinese general from 2,500 years ago can point out the President of the USA is a fucking idiot.
It's incredible.
Blüuümpíi gave me Havana Syndrome.
Sir, a second bird is at the feeder
