I haven’t tweeted in years, but if joining this means increasing the chances of @warnerbrostv making @straczynski’s Babylon 5 a reality, then I’m delighted to join the chorus of #B5onCWin23

@lparnell15 @heidipearljames You’ve spent a long time reading that friend.

So, I decided to review the DnD 2nd Edition Netheril: Empire of Magic to talk homebrews, pros and cons and... Deep Space Nine? https://t.co/lIU3ygtU7d

So, confession time, it’s taken me a long time (too long) to make the connection between running Tabletop Roleplaying Games, and being a storyteller, despite basically making sourcebooks for years... so I’ve decided to talk about that

@JRPJaymz I think it depends on how the Netheril stuff gets treated. The Empire covered about 3,000 years of history and the floating cities were just the tip of the ice berg. If you want a different perspective on it, I take a look at it here https://t.co/KX8bp6RPKG

@itsginnydi Have you considered a mrs doubtfire approach to playing multiple games simultaneously, albeit with a lot of having to run to the toilet?

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@siancain Yup

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@SaraUpstone Yes, and although facing up to literary critics is one thing, having folk critique your decor is a level of criticism few authors ever considered.

@Jam_sponge Mick Wall has nothing on you

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@misterbrilliant @Jam_sponge I remember reading this in PCZone years ago, so much so that I was reminded of it the other day when discussing the Sims with my other half. Probably the best review of a cosmetic add on that I ever read. Well done.

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@SaraUpstone That’s awesome! Congratulations!

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@booksellercrow Oh Jonathan, I’m really sorry for you.

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@NoPunIncluded You forgot trains, but I think trains might be a theme that runs across all seven. God, they really do. Even Cthulhu.

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@SaraUpstone I once convinced my other half that we had a secret chocolate stash in the kitchen, so she ran down stairs at midnight to raid it. There was no secret stash. One of us views that event as a comedy. The other still views it as grounds for separation, six years after the event.

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@Jam_sponge I may have over-egged the "Fun fact" part of that.

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@Jam_sponge Fun fact, when Mario64 came out there was a queue at ToysRUs to play it on the demo station. One kid was hogging it. Parents complained. Eventually the kid moved on, I moved up to play and... seconds later I was kicked off by staff who thought I was the hogger. Still not over it.

@ShutUpShow Do you have any suitable alternatives for those of us who aren’t into painting miniatures? I don’t have time to paint 32 chess pieces.

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@KatieBookQueen Probably Anansi Boys

[Simon Tells Tales @SimonTellsTales]

@DOLectures I set off at four in the morning so I could have breakfast with my best friend in Aber before heading down.

@Jam_sponge Have you switched off the power saving mode on your laptop/computer? I’ve had similar problems where my device has decided to implement energy saving features.
