Posted by & filed under BLOG, Illuminati WhAM, Skirmish, Theirs.

I recently decided to look into the concept of The Fourth Turning: Turns out I’m not the only one thinking the ’20s are going to get even more interesting.

WhAM-on!

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Illuminati WhAM, Skirmish, Space-poc.

Most rules game either historical order or fictional chaos. I’m interested in what skirmishes will look like during the transition period from the former state to the latter.

Posted by & filed under BLATHER, Travel.

This will probably be the last of my posts about the North of England. We went to Thirlwall Castle. It was a cool cloudy day. Seemed right. Here are the three plaques nearby and on site. And I shot a pano of each face. I hope they’re useful to some of you. As I said… Read more »
