@paulychilds I was going to be on it - then it was cancelled 😫

I was 12 when Knightmare started - I think I was just about the perfect target audience for it: A computer nerd as well a sci-fi and fantasy geek. I would have loved to have been on the show.

Love this story. Love this lore

@greeborunner @brotherurth New house sign?

@brotherurth @MTEnser

Well that’s next summers holiday booked…

@LNS_MissJ Canterbury sounds like it would meet your needs. Cathedral, independent shops and historic layout.

Where is good to go for a short break in the south of England? Somewhere with York or Bath or Cambridge vibes, but south of London.

Getting caught up some YouTube channels I follow. Just watched a great video by @dungeoncraft on the classic Tom Moldvay module, The Lost City. #DnD #ttrpg #RPG #1980s #tsr
