@TravellerNews My second RPG. My first RPG love. To which I remain indebted, and in adoration.

A tour of GDW Game Designers' Workshop's greatest hits...

@andrewtlloyd @TravellerNews Also, as a Brit, I’m tickled pink that the universal currency is the “pound”… but not the pound sterling, rather le pound français. One in the eye for the Little Englanders.

@TravellerNews Still remains my favorite science fiction (let alone SF RPG) universe. A non-unified Earth and the French being the big bosses of the universe? *Chef's Kiss*

@maxschofield @gifford_head @outertemple We still do that kinda thing. Glad it landed well.

@gifford_head On the most basic level, consider changing the name. ‘Mini-pupil’ is just such a godawful sounding label. Haven’t come up with anything much better, though, I have to admit; would love to hear thoughts.

@Michae1Salter Very much looking forward to your waffling. Although I don’t for a second think that’s what it will amount to!

Don’t know about “great”…you haven’t been subjected to my waffling yet!

@Michae1Salter @emplawyers @NotionHQ @evernote @obsdmd Great news! Thanks, mon ami.

@Michae1Salter @emplawyers @NotionHQ @evernote @obsdmd Appreciate it! I’m probably not quite as newb as some… but certain I could be doing things better and smarter.

@Jsj159 @emplawyers @NotionHQ @evernote @obsdmd I think so. Will check and let you know

This last comment of Sean’s is critical. It’s sometimes easy for us to forget what a bizarre, incomprehensible, scary place a court or tribunal can be. We routinely see people on the worst day of their life. And we get to be their voice. What an astonishing, humbling privilege.

@DavidGauke You’re bearing up bravely.

I really don’t think her loss can be attributed to either of us. But if it was true, I suspect that Dominic and I can come to terms with it.

From the ⁦@FT⁩. Reminiscent of the (true) principle that A class people hire A+ class people, because they’re not threatened by them (and because quality is what counts). But B-listers hire C (and sometimes Z) listers. Because they would be.

@SSkorkowsky There’s literally nothing better for the world you could be doing right now. May the gods bless your labours.

What did you do today, Seth? I started tuning vintage sci-fi novel covers into silly Traveller adventure modules.

@Adam_Creme and it looks spectacular from the outside too.

It’s not my finest photo ever but I think this is probably the best view of a city from a rail station platform in the world. I’m happy to be shown better.

@daniel_barnett @artmarkham @carlgardner @LBC Also, it’s not about “equalities”. I’ve no idea what that means, in the context of discrimination. Whereas “equality” is a clear, and unambiguous, word.

@SeanJonesKC Reform dog-whistling crypto-racist bollocks? Shurely shome mishtake.

Too accurate for comfort.

@legalstyleblog @itsdavegreen @WalkerMarcus Fair enough. Still, my point about the reasoning depending on a very specific assumption is also a fair one, I think.

It is absolutely mad that a leading London chambers is *bragging* that zero out of their most recent five appointments went to Oxford or Cambridge. Imagine being proud of being anti-excellence.

@legalstyleblog @itsdavegreen @WalkerMarcus It could alternatively mean: “we are looking for excellence. And this shows we know it resides in all sorts of places. It’s about who, not where.” It might not; but it can.

@legalstyleblog @itsdavegreen @WalkerMarcus As I said, I can’t see it I. Their pupillage pages anywhere. And there’s a fundamental assumption (perhaps a flawed one) in the argument. “All our pupils recently have been non-Oxbridge” is only “anti-excellence” if Oxbridge defines excellence.

@legalstyleblog @itsdavegreen @WalkerMarcus ‘Cos I can’t see it on their site. Although I recognise it may be elsewhere.

@legalstyleblog @itsdavegreen @WalkerMarcus Did they? Specifically as a “look at us”?
