(Content Warning: I have included a link to a picture of someone falling from the towers behind the words “one person plunge”) Did you know, I’ve never written about September the 11th on here? Or nothing that’s stuck at any rate. Given the various server drops this blog’s anniversary turns out to be eighteen years … Read More
In tabletop roleplay the person running the game is the GM, I don’t know why I’m explaining that, if you’re reading this I highly doubt you need me to. In anycase, the GM running my life has a sense of humour because my Therapist started talking about the roleplaying games I’ve mentioned to her over … Read More
