The pastry on these has a nice firm texture, but the flavour is a tiny bit sickly. The filling has a full, fruity, tangy taste, and there is plenty of it, but the texture is a...

"Joyous" is a bit strong. Steady on. But these aren't too bad. A firm pastry with a pleasant crumble gives way to a tasty filling full of lovely spices. These pies are a bit on...

I thought I'd give Stuart a break from running games, celebrate the "spooky season", and also cross off one of my many unplayed games, and so I put together a Cthulhu Hack...

(Yikes! I wrote this back in August, but held it back as I had plans for some follow-up posts. Those plans have changed for... reasons that I'll go into in a few weeks.) In the...

Cadet Marvel, a teen sidekick for Captain Marvel, from 2023: Zenith, 2000AD's pop star superhero, from 1987: Hm.

I started watching Andor yesterday. Gosh that first episode is terrible at setting up the premise, isn't it? If you were coming to this without having seen Rogue One it must be...

Bear with me, my computer died last week, hence the lack of significant updates. (Not that I'm promising significant updates when my new thinking machine arrives, but you get...

In a fearsome feedback loop that threatens the very fabric of not much at all, Adam at Barking Alien followed up on my first five role-playing games post with a post about the...

Bearing in mind that (1) the Sentry has always been a terrible concept, and (b) the whole "there are no Avengers" premise doesn't really convince given that we've seen at least...

I was noodling around with a project yesterday and realised that a lot of my favourite D&D-type monsters begin with the letter "M". So in the spirit of those old "make a...

Calvin, I did not resist the temptation. I even read it! The most surprising thing is that it's not terrible. It's not good either, but by the standards of 1990's Marvel it...

Over at Tower of Zenopus, Blacksteel lists the first five role-playing games they played. I like rpgs. I like lists. Let's have at it! The first rpg I played was Fighting...

I am 45ish. My ambition*, before I vanish into cosmic dust, is to own a complete Bruticus. This is Bruticus: I owned two-fifths of him when I was a child. I had Onslaught, a...

(I know.) This is part two of a modification of Gregor Vuga's excellent sort-of-WFRP Kriegsmesser. You will need a copy of Kriegsmesser. Part one covered general rules. Part...

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is weird. It's clear that these are the versions of the characters from the 2014 film, all snark and I AM GROOT and personal stereos with...

Another untested and probably insanely unbalanced Stargrave scenario with which you can ruin friendships! (Inspired by our unfortunate miscounting of crew members in a previous...

On Sunday, I went up to That London to go to the Power Up! exhibit at the Science Museum, prompted by reading about Orlygg's visit... except I didn't go until Monday for...

Go on then. One more. The inspiration should be obvious, but in case it's not. That said, I first saw the image in a different context. #bards #KelvinDrawsThings

This is your semi-regular reminder that Temple of Doom is the best one. #TempleOfDoomIsTheBestOne

Self-explanatory. #bards #KelvinDrawsThings I've been asked to put this on a t-shirt, so here you go: Redbubble or Threadless.

An attempt to do a picture in the style of Amos Orion Sterns, who did all the class pictures in the LotFP rulebook. Partially successful. Ish. #bards #KelvinDrawsThings

There's probably a proper name for this family of mechanics but what I mean by second-stage-randomness is taking a base mechanic that is stable and knowable, and then spicing...

Is the recorder the basic instrument taught in schools around the world, or is that just the UK? #bards #KelvinDrawsThings

I drew another bard! I feel like I'm getting closer to what I see in my mind's eye with this one. Not quite, but getting there. #bards #KelvinDrawsThings

I drew a bard! I'm still (re)finding my feet, and there are some old bad habits in there, but I'm enjoying drawing again. #bards #KelvinDrawsThings
