Staycation comes to an end, just time to check out a few charity shops in Nottingham for books and Oxfam don't disappoint with a great selection of golden age sci-fi.

Here are my thoughts on Modiphius' Discworld TTRPG quickstart. I'd love to hear yours! To me, the most important parts of Discworld are Iconic Heroes, Humor and Humanism. In this post I talk about how well the game seems to have captured those. colossalstories.blogspot.com/2024/09/disc...
