I had promised myself that I would see meerkats today. There is a burst pipe so the meerkats (and other animals) are closed. I am really quite sad about this. I am therefore looking at previous meerkat pictures. Someone suggested that perhaps I was especially sad because I had LARPdrop. I said maybe but I … Read More
I really love a lot of the weirder bits of the Wintermark brief, the automata in the storm (troll creations obviously…), the alien ancestors of the Steinr, the dead in the fens. Mostly though I love the Krampus. I love the Krampus in the real world too, but in Wintermark I love a beast who … Read More

There’s someone who isn’t there who is mentioned enough that it feels like there’s an empty chair near the bar. He’s … Read More
