for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Demanding but cute. Niece also pictured.
That would be a powerful look! :D
Ouch. #tattoo #callofcthulhu
I might take you up on that! :D
I am slowly working out that living in Spain as a foreigner, is in essence, accepting that 50% of people will just hate you on principle. #LivingAbroad #Spain
Yassss!
The stuff that eldritch dreams are made of
Gandalf the White saying, "Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth"
me when any program's AI assistant asks me if I want help writing:
I look forward to seeing a book chapter I wrote about cutting edge stem cell based therapies for #diabetes coming out in 2025... when it was written in 2023 :D
Look upon my works ye mighty, and despair!
Glass Cannon and Mystery Quest are pretty much the only actual plays I watch. Just the right level of tongue-in-cheek, and people having a good time together rather than "performing"
Russian Doll meme ACADEMIA: What a concept
Throwing mine into the mix :D
DNA/Thread of Life/The 3 Fates
I may have the cutest dog ever. No wonder I cant train her :D
100% this. Trudging through some 200 page, clunky, room-by-room, DnD campaigns that are impossible to keep any flow running nearly killed my passion for GMing. A revelation was the 1 page "adventures" from Deadlands. Full of flavour and inspiration. Much more my speed.
Quite a cute thing to find on a park bench in Spain. Maisie for scale.
A screenshot from the movie In Bruges. Colin Farrell (labeled ‘America’) is holding a gun (labeled ‘Americans’) to his own head, as behind him began Gleeson (labeled ‘America’) is aiming a gun (labeled ‘Americans’) at Collin Farrell’s head as well.

Redeems #DriveThruRPG, ends Saturday November 2nd.
Getting ready to run Crimson Letters for #callofcthulhu from @chaosium.bsky.social. And not for the first time!! An amazing little chaotic sandbox.
I feel called out...
The love of true crime podcasts... a hatred of blunt knives... competitive cat blanketing. All the clues were there!! :p
My wife finds this game relaxing, and I constantly feel moments from an aneurysm.
Thanks again to The Apocalypse Players for bringing Machine Tractor Station Kharkov 37 to my attention. An amazing CoC scenario that we kicked off last night! Together comrades!! #CallOfCthulhu #TTRPGs
