Why not both?

Id post a witty reply to that but I don't have the resource book with the Barbed Comment Critical Chart

Thats fair, and I don't expect session 1 to be a perfect reflection of a typical game especially while we're all getting familiar with the rules. Really enjoyed the game and your gming, this was the lightest of criticisms 😊

choice to avoid elves and perhaps dwarves dominating. It might be more obvious at the next session, which i am looking forward to!

The combat tracker was also innovative, you quickly grasp the situation without having to meticulously mark out who is where. It was a great aid to visualising the battle.

If I had any criticism it was perhaps that there wasn't a lot of difference between the races. That may have been a design

Really enjoyed that session. You can't help but be inspired to be more high-minded and less "murder hobbit" with the menacing darkness and the depth of history you are playing in. I liked the rules, they have a light crunch - enough to add structure but not table heavy.

Is this just clickbait, massive self-delusion, or an accommodation with fascists? Or all three? bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/01/30/p...

Their website is copyrighted 2024, no surprise they're behind the times. Perhaps 1934 would be more appropriate

A two panel image. The top panel shows the scene from 'The Wicker Man ' (1973) where Sgt. Howie first glimpses what's waiting for him as he crests the ridge of the hill he's being led up, but Howie is now the red-headed kid from 'The Snowman' (1982). The bottom panel shows the islanders standing around the wicker man, but there's snow on the ground, they're all wearing bobble hats and scarves and the wicker man is now the snowman from 'The Snowman'.

And from this day in 2014.

Substantial is being unfair on yourself - this was a wax and polish, not an engine rebuild 😉

The sun rising over the London skyline this morning, only it’s a very cloudy sky and the sun is visible only as an orange streak of fire that coincidentally seems to be emanating from the spire on the top of St Paul’s dome

You're far too hard on yourself first time any of us played it, and we rattled through chargen, wee bit of goblin slaughter and then a quick bit of NPC wrangling. All fine by me 👍

For fucks sake, no part of a cow or pig is called a burger or sausage, it's a shape. Desperate attempts from animal farmers to damage vegetarian food sales.

Print of a cartoon by Stephen Collins. Script as follows: [Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking] 1 SOCRATES: Plato.. PLATO: Yes Socrates? 2 SOCRATES: Can you tell me, are you human? PLATO: Why… yes, Socrates 3 SOCRATES: And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is? PLATO: Um, yep 4 SOCRATES: So you can tell me, then 5 [Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel] SOCRATES: *Is that a chariot*? 6 PLATO: Well that’s more just a bit of wheel 7 SOCRATES: So not a *chariot*. PLATO: No. 8 SOCRATES: [Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes] So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*? 9 PLATO: Well you can’t tap any of them really 10 SOCRATES: So are we not human? PLATO: ‘Spose not. 11 [Bleak pause] 12 PLATO: I’ll get the hemlock SOCRATES: Yeah [ends]

Don't like this version of WFRP? No worries,there will be another along in a minute

Kult is strictly over 18s... mind you most of them seem to watch 18 cert films

I saw some rumours on this. I'll approach with some caution but will deffo pick up a copy. Played WFRP2 with my daughter and her pals, it's much simpler; less onerous on the admin

Slow news day?

Spooks on the BBC: “We have to climb onto the roof, through a skylight and plug this thumb drive into the Chinese server.”

Spooks on Chinese TV: “We’ve just bought the British data centre. Job done.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible - among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access. Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said. Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said. A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said. "The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there." Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”
