Happy Star Wars Day everyone! #MayThe4thBeWithYou
-
I may have a problem. This doesn't even include the two copies I own of the best edition -- second, obviously -- nor the army books. (In my defence I only have two army books...
-
A very long time ago I played through the CARRION CROWN campaign for Pathfinder, and good fun it was too. Also a long time ago but not quite as long ago a time as when I played...

RUINATION PILGRIMAGE is Donn Stroud's new role-playing game of wandering troubleshooters/troublemakers in a mediaeval setting a couple of steps sideways from ours, where angels...

Oh dear, I see the man-babies are apoplectic with rage about female characters in Warhammer 40,000 again. This time it's because it's been revealed that the Adeptus Custodes --...
-
I've been following The DOOMED since it was Grimlite and have been keen to get it to the table from the moment the final version was released by Osprey. Schedules -- and...
-
Oooooooooooooooooops. It has come to my attention that the pdf versions of Terror in the Streets -- both the DriveThru version and the one you get with a physical purchase from...
-
It's #DrawDeathsHeadDay the most freelance peacekeeping day of the year! This year, as well as wishing Simon Furman a happy birthday, I must also apologise to Gene Colan for my...
-
I am a terrible person! I forgot -- or rather didn't realise -- that Monday the 18th was the 20th anniversary of the release of Katamari Damacy, one of my favourite computer...

Muscle Wizards are ace. Redbox Hack is ace. So here's a Muscle Wizard for Redbox Hack. The Muscle Wizard was, I think, first birthed by Monstrous Television and then further...
-
Look at this handsome lad! This is the new "Missing Link" Optimus Prime. Or technically it's Missing Link Convoy as I seem to have the Japanese version, but whatever. Anyway,...
-
I've had a handful of questions -- or rather what is more or less the same question restated in slightly different terms -- about my adventure Strict Time Records Must Be Kept....
-
Yesterday, Marvel announced the cast of the upcoming(ish) Fantastic Four film, and the announcement was Valentine's Day themed because... Reed and Sue are a couple? (I've heard...
-
I feel terrible posting this video, because of my crippling self-loathing, but I also realise it's good for my "brand", whatever that is. There's also a US sale going on, so: I...

While I'm getting back up to fighting fitness, here's the original Pepsi logo: Carbonated soft drink or Scandinavian black metal band? Only you can decide!
-
Well that didn't go according to plan, did it? I was supposed to be finishing up [REDACTED] by now, but instead I've been bed-ridden for a month, with either one really weird...
-
Right then, with that said, what creative projects am I planning to get done in 2024? This list exists as much to keep me honest as anything. Maps for [REDACTED]. This is my...

I would have posted this earlier but I noticed that I had 69 posts in 2023, and I am a child. Well, 2023 was a bit of a crapper. Indulge me as I moan about why, or just click...

Surprise #MincePieFest2023 update! It's not Christmas without an Infinity Foods mince pie! Firm but not crunchy pastry, with a lovely hint of sweetness, and a very rich, almost...
-
Oh, look who finally turned up, the Bastard Kipling himself. These are big, chunky pies, with a nice firm pastry. Alas that same pastry is chalky and dry, and tastes mainly of...
-
I was going to do the final #MincePieFest2023 rankings today but then my good friend Casey reminded me that I hadn't done The Bastard Kipling yet BUT THEN I went out today and...
-
These ARE the fancy ones, a pound more expensive, and... not as good. The pastry is firm but a bit bland, and while there's plenty of tasty, hearty filling, it doesn't "zing"....
-
These pies look a bit dry and anaemic, but this is clearly just clever misdirection as they are quite lovely! The pastry is a bit bland but has a good texture, just the right...
-
I like the look of these pies. They have a rough, home made, look to them and I'm fond of the semi-open star design. But how do they taste, I hear you type? (I can't hear you...
-
In terms of texture, the disintegrating pastry on these is similar to that of the Waitrose Essential pies, although unlike those it does have a pleasant, understated, sweet...
-
Lidl Deluxe! These have a firm (but not too firm!) pastry that's sweet (but not too sweet!) and a bit buttery (but not too buttery!). The filling has a strong citrus flavour...
-
Favorina, or Lidl in Disguise. That's a lot of sugar! Another too soft pie, with almost a fluffy consistency, and far too sweet. There are plenty of strong flavours in the...
-
It's a double posh day today! The pastry is very firm, to the point of being crunchy, like a hard biscuit or a dense shortbread. It also has a strong buttery taste -- again...
