Slightly Less Ow...
Well, been to the specialist at the London Hospital in Whitechapel. It's not quite as bad as feared, the fact that I have a near-full range of motion in my finge leads the doctor there to think it'll only be 2 to 3 weeks to heal rather than 5 to 6. I now have a stack of these odd crinkly compression bandages to put on to reduce the bruising and a ( Read more... ) -
Ow!
What is it about November, injuries and me? Around this time last year I got shot in the head, this time I slip on a patch of wet leaves and fall flat on my face. Of course I put my hands out to catch myself and, since I'm sailing along at a fair clip end up with grating one hand over a rough road surface and twisting the little finger on the other ( Read more... ) -
And the Sky Became as Black as Sackcloth....
ff work today, was working Saturday so took Monday off in lieu. Went for a walk up to Epping Forest.
You could tell something was up as soon as you stepped outside, the air smelled of hot dust, the sky seemed wrong, then we saw the strange pale hazy orange sun.
Ex-hurricane Ophelia is currently ripping up the length of Ireland and it's dragged a ( Read more... ) -
Wierdlands and Windwagons
Picked up Paul Kidd's GeneStorm RPG, and the Wierd Lands supplement. I do like this game, written in Paul's inimitable style, pity I didn’t notice it was on Indiegogo as I would certainly have helped to fund it. It's not quite the same system as the earlier Heroes of Morhost game I mentioned a while back, it has what Paul calls the “Reciprocating ( Read more... ) -
"Goin' to be an 'ard winter! Arrr!"
Autumn is now on our doorstep, what with the Equinox passing. Evenings are noticably drawing out now and the days are getting cooler. Mind you, never known a season for nuts and berries, especially acorns and conkers. We had a bit of a blow a week or so back, after a long spell of very calm weather and they were lying in carpets under the oaks and ( Read more... ) -
Time Passing and Furry Stuff...
Woo. Been a while since I was on. Lots happening. Had a bit of a furry spate on the old RPG front. My copy of Pugmire finally arrived! Yay!. Lovely it is too (and I see that the first draft of the Monarchies of Mau RPG is out as a pdf as well). There I am in the back as a "Good Dog ( Read more... ) -
Thunderbolt and Lightning...
Very very frightening.... me!
Had a hell of a storm here last night, never seen lightning that intense save in continental Europe. Never seen it in the UK, never thought it could happen in the UK. Clearly I was wrong ( Read more... ) -
From Azure to Crimson...
Turns out there's possible a better bet for a Crimson Skies hack than using the Airship Daedalus XPG system. Take a look here- http://www.warbirdsrpg.com/Read more... ) -
Zeppelins and Jetpacks...
Found a copy of the Crimson Skies boxed rules on the Oxfam site (another useful little backwater away from the big boys like ebay and Amazon). For a week or so we stared at each other, but I blinked first. Got it now. For a while I was wondering if it was going to be my old set coming back, but the box is a bit more battered than mine was. All the ( Read more... ) -
Crimson Skies Redux
I have been doing a bit of Crimson Sky book recovery after all. Two of the supplements I needed were so cheap it was worth getting them just for background info. The lack of a copy of Behind the Crimson Veil was annoying though. Undertook a huge trawl of the internet and thought I found it, for a tenner even, on an online sales site in France. My ( Read more... )
