monday and/or tuesday should be fine for me.

Want me to make a dnd room?

Consider Phlebas seems very obviously him still working out how the culture world works. Player of Games remains my favourite, but that might be because of it being the first one I read. I've not yet read the last one, how is it?

Just finished daredevil deason 2, and I liked it. Newcomers Jon Bernthal and Élodie Yung do a great job as a pretty gritty punisher (even by punisher standards) and an exotic aquiline Elektra. Some things that bother me though: Nothing about the hand makes any sense whatsoever. What was that giant ...

World War Z I gave this a watch out of morbid curiosity, and it's actually not bad. Nowhere near as good as it would have been if they'd followed the book, but not the abortion I expected it to be. I think it's another example of something that would have been better received if it was a fully stan...

Sorry about missing last night. I was dead, but got better.

The Last Witch Hunter Vin Diesel is a Viking(?) who becomes immortal for some reason and kills bad witches. Fast forward to modern times and he is still killing bad witches, but is rich now. Bad witches have a plot to make bad things happen. Really bloody stupid. The plot makes little to no sense, ...

The Magicians Very reductive plot explanation: Its Harry Potter for adults. Kid is applying for Uni (College, because it's american) and ends up in a school for wizards. Big bad evil wizard is doing nefarious things. Hijinks ensue. If you can get past the fact that the entire cast are Beautiful Peo...

Equally, those of us who are old enough to have seen, and enjoyed the original, are generally at the point where we'll either stream it, pirate it, or grab the dvd/blue rey when it's out, rather than suffering the cinema's cost and inconvenience (Not to say the cinema doesn't have its place, but I'...

Very this, especially the top tier stuff. They are a bit shit for the first couple of levels, but I dont think I would have made it through the last mission without my max level psychic.

The rust server got its update, which means the map got reset. This seems like an excellent opportunity to dick with the settings. The two main ones are decay rate and map seed. Decay rate is currently set to 1, which seems a bit harsh. Do people want me to turn it down or off entirely? The map is b...

pnut has made a Strong Glaive who wears a Sheen of Ice, FJ has made a Mad Nano who Talks to Machines. pnut has more weapons than limbs and FJ has a teddy. This is going to be interesting. Anyone else jumping aboard, or shall I kick things off? If no one else is joining I will start things off on Sun...

Took pnut through character creation last night, he ended up with a Strong Glaive who Wears a Sheen of Ice. He has an impractical amount of weapons, a stick that makes him teleport in combat and an egg that melts stuff. Took us a while to get through but most of the time taken was actually me explai...

Hurrah! I'll have a look at character generation. You can have a look at stuff here if you want, but you dont have to. Im going to have the game start with your character coming from a relatively normal, out of the way village; You wont need much knowledge of the setting because your character wont ...

I have a beard yearning. Its been ages since we had anything forum based, but I have seen a few people elsewhere talking about running games via discord, which sounds plausible. I would quite like to give Numenera a go as a game, as it has dead simple game mechanics in an interesting (and batshit cr...

Oxenfree Yesterday evening I bought, downloaded, played and completed Oxenfree. It could be argued that this means it is very short, but a) I didnt go around collecting all the hard to find extra collectable stuff and b) so what? I think it was exactly the right length, making it any longer would ha...

I finished this not too long back. I started ages ago, got a bit bored quickly and was distracted by other things. Glad I went back to give it another chance, its really rather excellent. Just finished! God, bit of an emotional ending. This is true! I do like the fact that it manages to hit more of ...

Speaking of which, 10pm tonight gentlemans?

Im going to see Deadpool on Valentines day. Brilliantly, this was my wife's suggestion.
