@BBCRadMac Loving the Zappa this morning. My uncle Alan was a big Zappa fan. He saw them in Manchester in the late 70s, and ended up hanging out with the band afterwards. When he passed away a few years ago I inherited his music collection including lots of great Zappa albums. ☺️

RIP Sergeant Oddball. Hopefully if there's an afterlife he's drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays.

MORPCon July game submitted. THE EMPEROR HAS SPOKEN! IMPERIAL MEASURES is an adventure the Dune RPG (with a little extra crunch than the core rules). Our players are imperial investigators and Sardaukar, dispatched to Arrakis to track down a missing nobleman.

"It's tiny out there...it's inconsequential. We came all this way to explore the moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth."

RIP Bill Anders, who took one of the most amazing photos ever and one I wish world leaders would understand the significance of.

Typical media shenanigans going on. Rishi Sunak WAS in the picture with other world leaders, they have just conveniently cropped him out

@Tentacledwhisp1 I'm looking forward to running it. It's based on the MORK BORG system so is really rules-light.

"The air in Kage No Shima is thick with the stench of blood and the promise of violence." The RONIN RPG has arrived. There will be samurai action coming to a con near you soon! #grogsquad

Me in my 20s sleeping at a friend’s house: “Don’t worry that you haven’t got a spare bed, I will sleep on the kitchen floor or in the bath or folded into a cupboard or in the big bush outside your front door”

Me now I’m 40: “Thank you for the offer of a spare bed, but I’m going to drive three hours home to my own one instead”

[John Ossoway @ottomancer]

@smescrater thanks for playing today, I had a lot of fun running it. I'm also over on Planet Bluesky as @ottomancer.bsky.social

[John Ossoway @ottomancer]

@theGROGNARDfile No worries. I had to bounce straight afterwards so I couldn't come to the pub. Next time! 🙂

Great time at MORPCon this afternoon. Our heroes saved the princess and averted an interstellar civil war. For those who played, I hope you had fun, in the words of the diva Livia-Zee "Keep That Galaxy Pump-Pump-Pumping". 🤣 #morpcon #fanboy3
