Done it once or twice in the past (as storyteller) and really enjoyed it, and am idly prepping a one-on-one Vampire: Dark Ages (1st end) session/campaign for a friend who hasn't done TTRPG before, but is getting almost intrigued enough to try soon 😁 🌹🎲💀

👀 Something, something, cunning plan Sadly I won't be their next year - which makes me suddenly realise that arranging a panel and silently getting you to moderate it, and then not turning up myself either would be *even funnier* 😉

Well, that sounds fantastic, and depending on the when (because, geography), I'm theoretically interested in hopping over to join in. And will happily talk about medieval studies and TTRPGs, the ongoing process of turning the Lombard laws into a TTRPG and/or run a play test of my #LangobardRPG :)

Oh, that's always fun! I hope you get a chance to play it soon 😊 I find having special dice always adds something extra - the D6 numbered 0-5 are for my #LangobardRPG, used alongside D10s (read as 0-9), to add a bit more colour and depth into the rules without getting too complex and 'crunchy'.

I always meant to collect magnets, and would always come home and realise I'd forgotten. Again. Last month I was in Belgrade (No. 4, above 😉) and realised I'd inadvertently been collecting them on trips, so decided to make it an official strategy. (Which means I'll inevitably forget next time... 😂)

All I've got is: trick or treating mice, daring each other to knock on a cat's door... ?

Many thanks! Well, that loss of going around corners is a strange detail to exclude (shall definitely homebrew that out!)
