This was a great panel, you did great! Even without a PhD, perhaps we should get you to play Runequest...I hear there's a great one shot!!
Glasgow Worldcon
I'm doing a panel about tabletop roleplaying games this Friday 2:30.
Last time I did a TTRPG panel, I told Steve Jackson (not that one, that one) I've got lots of GURPS books but never actually played it. Which gaming titan will I offend this time?

Over the past three weeks, I've read all 26 of @BarbaraNadel's 'Turkish Detective ' series. What a great series of books, I've loved the cast of characters but I think reading the character of Istanbul and it's social changes has been so informative.

Merry Christmas to you all...
Just remember the true meaning of Christmas is the Baby Cheeses.

Today I discovered that @natasha_pulley is one of M's university tutors...we were talking about a friend called Natasha, M pipes up that one of her tutors was called Natasha...I loved Watchmaker of Filigree Street...and don't know what she's done to deserve the insanity of M!!

Dragonmeet was fun - a brief wander, a purchase and then drinks and chat! I mean Dragonmeet is just a bar with some trade halls attached. It is lovely to see people tho...the community is so friendly!

Just popped in from the other place to say thank-you to @RedGuitars for a marvellous gig at @100clubLondon - 40 years feels like a long time to wait to see a band...but it was fantastic and joyful - especially Lou grinning nearly the way through.

I find it incredible that someone can spend billions on something that they really don't understand. And I don't think he does, he doesn't understand what a community is...

Would love to see this applied in future to MPs...Many MPs work very hard but there's a core of lazy shirkers and sulkers!!
