  Apparently I have won the #DCCRPG Encounter Design Contest with my entry, The Bodies of Ballyroney Bog. I assume it will be published somewhere. https://goodman-games.com/announcing-winners-of-the-2026-road-crew-encounter-design-contest/

  #Inktober Day 5. #Smack Today's prompt reminded me of the first #RoboHunter story, serialised in #2000AD After breaking the mind of the Big Brain, with the robot armies on the brink of war, Commander Kidd takes to ordering robots to self-destruct. Robot SJ-1 scolds Kidd for his wickedness and wishes he could smack him. My poor imitation of the original comic strip by #IanGibson (Prog 105, 24 March 1979). #Inktober2026

  #Inktober Day 6: #Ogre Ogres are huge fearsome human-like creatures, usually 8 to 10 feet tall. They wear animal skins for clothes, and often live in caves. When encountered outside their lair, they will be carrying 100-600 gp (Id6×100) in large sacks. Ogres hate Neanderthals and will attack them on sight. — Tom #Moldvay #DungeonsAndDragons Basic Rulebook (1981)

  #Inktober Day 7. #Panic Rather than Panic I chose, #DontPanic because I know exactly where my #towel is. In 1984, #Infocom released a #HitchhikersGuide video game including the "Don't Panic" #feelie #button depicted here. The #BBC released an online version of the game for the 30th anniversary and (just like Goldilocks), it is still there: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1g84m0sXpnNCv84GpN2PLZG/the-game-30th-anniversary-edition #Inktober2026 #H2G2

  #Inktober Day 8. #Stinky One of the stinkiest cheeses is Époisses from the #Bourgogne region of #France The full name is Époisses affiné au Marc De Bourgogne #AOC — finished in local pomace brandy-like liqueur, like grappa — giving the rind its distinctive red colour. Smelling a bit like stinky feet, there is an urban legend that it is banned on the Paris metro due to its pungent odour. #Inktober2026 #cheese

  @Printdevil This weekend I will playtest Dædalus' Wondrous Works with a group of friends... 3 of whom are #Greek. I'm prepared for a critique of the license I took with their beloved #myths and #lore. It's like cooking pasta for your Italian friends. https://strangequarkgames.itch.io/daedalus-wondrous-works #TTRPG #DungeonsAndDragons #DnD #Moldvay #Basic #BX #LabyrinthLord #OldSchoolEssentials #OSE #OSR

  Le problème de la #surveillancepricing a touché #SNCF @groupeSNCF Hier, j'ai consulté le site web de SNCF : le billet de train coûtait 44 €. Aujourd'hui, je suis retourné sur le même site, le prix avait doublé à 88 €. J'ai essayé d'effacer les cookies, même prix. J'ai essayé d'utiliser un VPN, même prix. J'ai essayé un autre navigateur web, et le prix est redescendu à 44 €. Ils utilisent donc l'empreinte digitale du navigateur...

  This weekend, #Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir celebrated his 50th birthday with a cake decorated with symbols of violence and colonisation, topped with a noose representing the #apartheid law recently passed by #Israel that allows the execution of #Palestinian detainees. This would be a good time to add your name to the petition demanding Israel's exclusion from #Eurovision https://action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-05-Israel-out-Eurovision-petition-EN

  Watched the first three episodes of the #Daleks Master Plan back-to-back. I enjoyed seeing #NicholasCourtney 's first on-screen appearance in #DoctorWho. Unfortunately Bret Vyon's story arc remains incomplete — the character dies in still-missing episode 4. #SpecialEffects and model shots were pretty good for the 1960s but not referenced at all in the end credits. #Dalek #DrWho #lostepisodes

  I commute every day by #bicycle and I decided to buy a new #bike. In the past I would have gone online and read some #reviews and comparisons and made a choice. Now that is nearly impossible, because so many of the "reviews" are #AI #LLM #slop summaries of, I dunno, forum posts about a completely different bike or something. Instead I have e-mailed a list of my requirements to my #local #bikeshop and asked them what's available. Should have done that first. #deadinte...

  1/ This week's #DCC #session was a comedy of fumbles. The party are in the undercity and have just arrived at the shore of the bricked-over and forgotten River Flēot. Lurking in the depths is the water hag Peg Powler. As Powler's hideous visage emerges from the waters, the party move to defend themselves. /cont'd #DCCRPG #DungeonCrawlClassics #TTRPG
