I have been plugging away at this for some time, so pleased to have a date for you all. FEB 13th - we’re back!!!!

Tonight's #DCC #Lankhmar with @blythygrog.bsky.social @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social @kitch66uk.bsky.social and Eddy (not a Bluesky person I think) where we succeeded in our interfere in the street gangs mission despite our dice trying to, and very nearly succeeding at, killing us.

We’re in FanBoy 3 or is it Vietnam? I can’t tell anymore! @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social is running Fall of Delta Green for us with @blythygrog.bsky.social @jonac.bsky.social @clownf1st.bsky.social

In tonight's #DCCLhankhmar our thief disguised as Galway the flautist invented Lhankhmarian Atonal Swing. Right laugh, thank you @blythygrog.bsky.social. Some great playing from especially from Eddy but also @kitch66uk.bsky.social and @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social

Played an episode of Blake's 7 to check streaming from my home RAID was working properly. Realised the stories and acting were better than anything new from streaming in the last decade. Daughter agrees. Cancelled all five video streaming subscriptions.

Join me and @benaaronovitch.bsky.social in the Zoom of Role-Playing Rambling, talking about Rivers of London RPG from @chaosium.bsky.social - recorded live at GROGMEETish in November: thegrognardfiles.com/2024/12/29/r...

We kick off our Fall of Delta Green campaign tonight under our Handler @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social with @blythygrog.bsky.social @jonac.bsky.social @clownf1st.bsky.social

Launched www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

#grogmeetish A morning negotiating with Skiks the Rat Queen in OSE while clearing our Draxus's abandoned laboratory. Thanks to brave adventurers @shanferg.bsky.social @elevatedpachyderm.bsky.social @edfoster.bsky.social and Chris Lawson.

Great #grogmeetish fun playing DCC. Thanks to @amacdon6.bsky.social for running. Lowly Cob the baker managed to fire a magic missile at a fiendish guardian monster. Thanks to fellow funnel fodder @kitch66uk.bsky.social Ste and Michael. Also first time using Crawler Companion from Purple Sorcerer.

Mentioned it in the gazetteer a week or 2 ago but just finished pt 3 of @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social monster special w/ Free League’s Tomas Harenstam & it really is a top pod Great thunder phase too with Dirk & @blythygrog.bsky.social getting all philosophical about the nature of man & monster 🧐

Tonight I am mostly playing Annabel Greer, a silver tongued nurse who can talk to the dead. @blythygrog.bsky.social is running his Liminal scenario "Lord Strange's Secret" for us. With @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social Alistair and Stephen

Great time at #OBaWS Good to catch up with friends and get killed several times in an excellent Alien game from @savagespiel.bsky.social And explore the mysterious landscape of Alderley Edge in @jonac.bsky.social fantastic Liminal Game. Thanks to @matthewbroome.bsky.social for organising.

Terrific fun - thanks @blythygrog.bsky.social for running!

Patreon backer @andrewmreichart.bsky.social brings you this special episode all about academic monsters. What if the monsters ... were studying you?! monsterman.libsyn.com/special-epis...

It's either my philosophy for talking about monsters or me rambling about Cybermen for 20 minutes. Or both!

What's that coming over the hill? It's another GROGPOD with more monsters! with @gonzohistory.bsky.social adding a monster from the screen to Appendix G and @blythygrog.bsky.social reviving a horror from his childhood thegrognardfiles.com/2024/08/11/m...

Space still available at our mini gaming con in Leamington in September warhorn.net/events/the-o...

Huge fun running DCC at #MORPCon this afternoon, with our heroes (?) tackling chaos & demons &, let’s face it, themselves - emerging (sort of) victorious & (mostly)alive! Enough death stamp action to keep this GM very happy, & too many laugh out loud moments to list. @blythygrog.bsky.social
