I stumbled across a games show in Kensington, and this game called THE MAGIC OF INVENTORYING (think Marie Kondo in a Dungeon) delighted me.

The gameplay is delightful, the art is unique and perfect, and yes, I backed the (incredibly reasonably priced) Kickstarter.

I signed up at the last minute and glad I did! played Vaesen for the first time.

Really only issue was that it turns out I’m really rusty with Roll 20. “Ok everyone open your character sheets”. Uhh, where?

This looks suspicious.

Do you remember that time Freddie Mercury was signed by CBS for a solo career?

I’ll remind Blythy that he did ONE album and it was rubbish.

Ran my first ever Traveller session tonight for @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social ‘s Virtual Grogmeet! Loads of fun reinvigorating an adventure written in 1984 for more modern rules. And amazingly the author of the adventure plays in the RPG group that the father of a friend of mine still runs!

Superb episode.

I am prepping "Season 2" of Pirates of Drinax for my regular gaming group for next month. Excited to find out where they go next. They've massively veered away from being pirates...
