I see that vibe-coding the Epic Game Store is turning out great, already?

Reading Classic RuneQuest: How To Create an Adventurer
I was distracted for a while with things like finding a new job and releasing some Call of Cthulhu adventures, but I’m now back to reading RuneQuest 2nd edition! We are finally out of the Introduction chapter (and some digressions about it), yay! Let’s enter the game proper! The next chapter is about character creation, so let’s get rolling.
A couple times, lately, when walking the good fluffy boy (pictured) in the forest, I hear someone playing the flute, and the first thing that comes to mind is “No, I am NOT going to get dragged into some bullshit satyr-themed urban fantasy or folk horror story, not today!”
Today is the anniversary of Greg Stafford’s passing so I think of him as I do some prep work for our Great Pendragon Campaign game! Probably one of the most difficult campaigns I’ve run, but also one of the most rewarding. Our knights are visiting Summerland in 482 to spy on the Magician King!
One of the houses in my neighbourhood is ready for Halloween and they’re NOT fucking around.
Google Japan continues their yearly tradition of silly keyboard with the “Conveyor Belt” keyboard. Gotta type the keys as they pass by! Don’t miss! There are more silly keyboards to check out on their channel.

“New tax on millionaires to fund health care in B.C.”: A new tax bracket for earnings over $1 million is a GREAT idea so this definitely has my vote (we should add one for federal taxes too!), but Eby has been so hit-and-miss that I’m frankly not sure it will actually happen.
“NASA’s Curiosity Rover Catches Stunning Martian Dawn”: some great pictures of Mars. As in: PICTURES FROM ANOTHER PLANET. Never ceases to amaze me.
While thinking of a possible upcoming article about Broos, I looked up their first appearance in Nomad Gods, remembering how I got very lucky with not just an unpunched version of the game, but one that (unknown to its seller!) contained a second set of unpunched chits!
