In 2025 we awarded a grant to @crookston.bsky.social to carry out a community geophys survey of Crookston Castle supported by the geophys team of HES. We found not just some great archaeology but also a local area keen to learn more about "their" castle: castlestudiestrust.org/blog/2026/04...

@forcemajeurepod.bsky.social is really nailing this season. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

"I have a plan" are four words you don't want to hear your toddler say as she power marches towards a box of markers.

It does. They deserve an invite to the party 😁

It was oddly fitting at the end.

I have indeed gathered and I think the next session will feature Voidmaw. Need to have some Kaiju involved.

It was great.

Jazz was not my choice I don't even know how the players managed it but by the end of the game an NPC was playing jazz on a clarinet from its exhaust pipe. I think the team Voidmaw may appear with some serious Heavy Metal in the next game.

Well that was a lot of fun. As always some curve balls from the players but very happy with how it went. Will definitely be running it again. Though the Lodestar system is now a jazz appreciation system.

Thank you! Here is hoping. I am just about set up and ready to go so fingers crossed it will go well and be a lot of fun

Thank you! And yes they did. One of our regular players for our main game is out this evening so I volunteered to run Mecha Hack for a couple of sessions. And I love mechs.

Will do! I am excited to try it out.

Preparing to run my first game of The Mecha Hack from Absolute Tabletop tonight. I love me some mech action and this system looks fun and not too difficult to run.

That you did and it is a damn good season!

They really did and with some glorious rolls to add to it all too. There were great moments

This was a fantastic episode of @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social and the tension is only increasing with each episode.

Exactly and the Empire might skimp on safety railings but toilets are too much of a necessity. Can't have all that white armour getting dirty.

Brilliant and so far so great. That is quite the praise! Can't wait to hear more. It is a highlight every fortnight when a new episode drops.

It is soooo good.

I think it is a reasonable number. Given how few toilets there are in general in Star Wars.

Long commute means podcast time and I have just caught up on @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social and this season is great. I am really enjoying it so far.

It is for the best. No one needs more of that.

It shows! He definitely would be. I am just very glad the Emperor is finally, definitely, permanently dead and gone.

And I am very excited for that too. The way the galaxy is set up for the campaign sounds fantastic and makes so much sense.

I think I saw it twice in cinema in part because I didn't want to believe it was as bad as it was.

Understandably so. The only Star Wars movie I don't own

Thoroughly enjoyed it was a fantastic start. Also loved the Session 0 and the Rise of Skywalker rant, which I agree with.

This was a damn good start to the new season of @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social Really looking forward to getting more of this story and characters.

It was a hell of a bang!

A change of pace is probably good given the ending. It never ends. I am excited for the start of the next season. Also love the new name!

It is a tough one to follow but excited to see how you do it.

It most certainly was not. I was not expecting that at all. Great way to end it though.

Finally caught up on the Mecha Hack game this week from @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social thoroughly enjoyed and what an ending!

qtp with a movie you’d rate a perfect 10/10 🍿
