Whilst Jori was firing up the forge in dwarven passion and hammering away with, uh, appropriated goods in the student workshop his centaur mentor failed to get his attention. Brutus, Alexander, Burley and William and (virtual) Susan visited the artists with Manticore in tow, saw him settled and partied hard and appreciated art.
Quite (at times) heated discussions about the lack of communication and whatever it is the pcs are going to do with the Manticore, and just where is it the Manticore comes from. North Africa?
Brutus's dad owns a shipyard...Brutus has written him of his adventures (despite the lack of a quality pen) and the need to borrow a ship.
A reply will be forthcoming.
Barbary pirates will be no match it is conjectured.
Pirates: "Prepare to be boarded!"
PC's: "Sure, come on!"
Manticore "Munchmunchmunch!"
Next week, a meeting with Mr Brisgow.
Burley is honing his blowpipe skills.

Lest we forget.
Lest we forget.
Originally shared by Rob Masters
At the end of The Great War, where our youth, our brightest, and best went to stand for their country, and died in their thousands, the cry amongst the world leaders was 'Never Again!'
And yet it did.
And again our youth - the brightest and best - went out to fight, and died in the widest-reaching conflict in our history.
And again, and again, in dozens of smaller wars and conflicts. Out they go, to serve, and to die, and why? To protect. Be it peacekeeping in the Balkans, police action in South East Asia, Search and Rescue, fighting against a mighty dictator bent on world domination, or even the current ambiguous actions - they go and serve, trusting their leaders that what they do is to protect. Be it our own country or the people of another.
And some pay the ultimate sacrifice. And many more return with bodies and minds and souls shattered.
And today, it is them - not the leaders sent them - who we remember. It is they who we honour, not the wars. It is they, and their brave and honourable opponents from that first Great War, which tested and forged in fire and blood the souls of three nations, who we remember. Three nations that remain bonded by our shared loss, and who all stand stronger by our shared history. We might not always agree - but we three nations - Turkey, New Zealand, and Australia - know that we share a bond that rises above our disagreements. A bond of shared loss, blood, and honour.
To the Turks and the ANZACs, we raise a salute - not to celebrate - but to remember with honour the fallen and those who survived to tell the stories of their brave and honourable foes.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
And never forget.

A gaming convention where you get to stay in rail carriages in the Barossa Valley, surrounded by Produce of all sorts! I am so tempted by this one! And it's like, in a state which actually shares a border with us!

At some point some of you will receive a digital copy of "The Spark Roleplaying System" due to a Kickstarter I backed, I got to give some digital copies away, so if it turns up in your inbox and you wonder where it came from, that was me.
