In a sense players always should get to do this face at least once in the "I think a bad thing is happening" phase of the game npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…8p63 same same, just sent my older one to Urgent Care to get an X-ray, because she hurt her foot and didn't want to go to school, and the younger one started acting out for attention. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…5y0h 2026 FIFA peace epitaph. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock My elder daughter answered the phone with "professori professori the ants have taken my eyes" npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock What is it about Zombies and Cornwall. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 New Terminator and Brother of the King of England. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock "He who stops being better, stops being good. Now lets go kill some Irish" npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 I object to this being news. This happens constantly here and it's never been news. Signs in banks and the like are uniformly put up in Welsh here and it never gets a mention. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…5y0h That's what confused me. What about a rook/bishop move where the monsters can't see or react to you if you move at them diagonally or in some kind of straight line at then. but if you move off it they get to see you again. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…5y0h Stealth mechanic for the players or the encounters? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock A Bokowaty sounds like a jaunty little folk dance step. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…8p63 It does look right on a cover npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…8p63 I quite liked the Oriental Adventures rules. I think as a stand alone book (vs supplement classes) it was quite nifty. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…3t8n Flawless SFX. I watched it again recently. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 Ulster says No. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…3t8n Those were really really fiddly though. Actually there was a long period of games like I was almost terrified to get out of their box npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…3t8n And forty million tiny tiny counters to lose *instantly* npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 Ginger issue? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 I think half the page being marred with game identds and logos would detract from any art npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 I must admit the John Silence stories are not my favourite of the Ghost Detective types either though. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…n7x3 I have that exact same mental block too, which is one of the reason I can do designy things, but very rarely create anything. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…tvnd I'm sensing a theme npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…n7x3 But the bit with the gargoyle turning the soldiers into orange smoke is still in the Greek... Right... Right? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…n7x3 I'm already seeing that at a freelancer level. Everyone has gone. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 As a reverse of the Lion annuals I was never disappointed with the Gerry Anderson ones, and they always had great cutaways and stuff in them npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 I assume you and I have what would be regarded as a library now. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 How many were in that style/set? I've the Supernatural Sleuths, The Radio one and that Christmas One, were there any others? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…tvnd I had lots of Prince August stuff back in the 80s, and it was really low melting point, but utter crap. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Wandering through the local game shop, all the boxed fantasy games I don't recognise are obviously sold as "It's basically the same sort of stuff as 5ed but you'll like it" npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 The pale print colour of that has made me lose SAN npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock My mother was a fresh water trout. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Sushi? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 I got that in a shop when it came out, I am so the old. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…rtt8 The games I have the most play time on tend to be ones I've returned to a lot because I am able to start a new game, or pick up where I left out without feeling I've lost the knack, or forgotten the plot. I just don't have the contiguous time to play Elder Scrolls type things all the through anymore. So I find smaller games better. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…n7x3 My daughters both loved Holes and abandoned the Rowling stuff instantly, they couldn't stomach the Hogwarts thing at all.

It looked like something made by salmon fishermen in 1752... and then.. left to rot. Scared the wits out of a teenage me npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…u78r I first crossed Carrick-a-Rede on a school Geography field trip in the 80s in the cold, windy & wet, and all the bravos bounced on it and it was completely terrifying and I have been unduly worried about it ever since. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Ugh, you sound like my brother now. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Are you an insane ghost though? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock I think we all met insane people all the time, and half the people we pass in the street are ghosts. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock This all completely passed me by because I never paid any attention to other people's games from about 1999 till er..

I think because some things in it are referred to historically you might find the cult in the cave ties into a "fallen sith" or "remnant jedi" plot npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…mtwn "Freedom is merely privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all" is the sort of simple truth that hits hard. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…dpn3 The wizard's duel is quite Ars Magica too npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…dpn3 The Raven is possibly the film that shaped how I think about wizards fighting because I saw it when I was such a smol bean. Great film npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…u7s3 There is an alcohol free attempt to make absinthe called "Dr Zero Zero" and it tastes like someone has murdered a front tyre in your mouth then shouted at you for bad life choices. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…u7s3 That much absinthe can't be good for you. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Yeah, Irish stuff.
