I've reached the point in the day where cognitive and social overload have kicked in. So, I'm sat in an empty auditorium staring into space trying to dull the buzz in my head and the fatigue in my soul.

We're having our second session of The Last Broadcast tonight. Old Viktor is in the hospital. Someone has broken into his house. The team has a report to make, and Mr Harrow is waiting. I'm tinkering with the setup for a one-off, but there can be more investigation for The Agency: Cold Shoulder.

I've managed to keep up with a few things started in January. One has been my push to read and run unplayed games on my shelf, which is going well. Another is keeping up with my dungeoneering with The Dungeon Calendar! 😂 It's been oddly entertaining. Roll 5 dice three times. Match numbers. [1/2]

Aside from creative upcycling, I had an idea for a Ship of Fools adventure this morning. During the period after Pope Francis' passing, the media had many papal images showing the Pope in varied outfits. If every occasion requires an outfit, what if the one for the next key occasion was stolen?

I'm engaged in matters of creative upcycling this weekend, which is usually the unintended outcome of my need to republish something and not having the willpower to LEAVE IT ALONE! #Writing #Creativity #Process

Sanction is a generic rules system with a range of Genre Setups that support playing in various worlds with tweaked character generation lifepaths and, sometimes, additional mechanics. I wrote it because I wanted a game system that was simple, flexible, flavourful and had characters created [1/8]

The UK Games Expo is at the end of the month, so I aim to release something new unwisely. Why, oh why do I do this to myself?! I have spent an hour figuring out all the information I must include on the credits page to comply with new EU laws. Ship of Fools WILL be on sale! #Sanction #UKGE

A delightful day running two games at #NorthStar, at the Garrison Hotel in Sheffield. Last Unicorn Games #StarTrek in the morning, saw the crew of the USS Thorne battling an extremist #Section31 splinter faction, and #ThoseDarkPlaces in the afternoon, where unspeakable genetic horrors menaced.
