I&#39;d have to change some of the other characters too because a lot of my story revolves around wordplay with names and such.

Do you play, or have you played, TTRPGs? <br/><br/>#Pathfinder is the one I&#39;ve played the most. I enjoy the Table Top Board Games more than role play (Seas of Havoc or Fromage are my current favourites), or a good deck building game, like Resident Evil or Star Trek 🖖🏻 <br/><br/> 2026-05-13T08:22:08+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsglezuavu9j9d0usfurwzwqlsjv7mja73tkf3c64tsx5lmg5esvvszyp4mya4ffwgzf6p7lw2d5scqr6ywqgsrtec4rma9tn5lnth2t5scgtvuex6 #WritersCoffeeClub 12th May ~ If not in your current format (novel, play, music, etc.), in what format would you write?<br/><br/>I cut my teeth with microfiction, flash fiction and short stories.

Not unlike 100% of the world&#39;s population. 2026-05-10T21:02:32+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqjwmwkprgdtyjm996mezwfun9wd8x4sfvhrjf0gyv8vxr28lxlhgzyp4mya4ffwgzf6p7lw2d5scqr6ywqgsrtec4rma9tn5lnth2t5scgq3rj4h #PennedPossibilities 1010: What are any of your characters hiding? Why are they hiding it?<br/><br/>Wilson Gaffney (time traveller) doesn&#39;t know how time travel works, i.e. doesn&#39;t understand cause and effect, has no clue what a paradox is, and thinks temporal mechanics is an industrial metal band.<br/>He hides it to cover up his idiocy, by producing time traveller certification issued by &#39;a reputable authority&#39;, which cost him less than a nak!
