Yesterday in Dragonbane, the halfling thief almost died twice at the hands of a giant, but thanks to some good teamwork, managed to get on its back and strike its weak spot! Combat and monsters in Dragonbane are quite unique but we’re getting the hang of it!

No, white guy in the giant shiny pickup truck who’s honking because the cars in front are waiting for it to be safe to turn left. I’m not shaking my head at them, I’m shaking my head at you.

My sympathies to the woodpecker I just saw being yelled at by his girlfriend for 5 minutes straight until he left the nest in a hurry.

Tonight at ChaosiumCon UK, I single-handedly solved the problem of ordering cream and jam on scones. You’re welcome, British people!

I’m going to ChaosiumCon UK this weekend and I somehow managed to book awesome games I would have a hard time finding elsewhere: Ringworld, Elfquest, Lords of the Middle Sea, Rivers of London, 13th Age Glorantha, and a RuneQuest Tournament! #TTRPG

I cannot understate how shitty the Apple TV remote is, compared to the Roku remote. It’s as if Apple went for the cool factor rather than usability. It’s like a car dashboard designed entirely of touch screens. Ugh.

Hah! My kids are getting to that age when you need to switch from evening baths to morning showers. Also known as “the age of starting to stink really bad from your newly hairy parts”.

It’s nice to start the week with French news about Marine LePen (the far-right party leader) being ineligible for 5 years and on house arrest along with a few of her people… and meanwhile, Nicolas Sarkozy possibly getting something a bit worse soon. Yay!
