Monday night games session

In the Monday night game, currently GMd by ruletwo I seem, by the application of uneven dice rolls to the creation of a character, to have begun playing what may be the only consumptive urban elf in the history of D&D. The stats were so intriguing that I had to invent a backstory involving exile with the eventual hope for bloody revenge in his home lands from the far north.

It's a damned sight more fun than power gaming, I can tell you.

Warship Prints

I’ve found some excellent warship art prints on eBay, and have taken the opportunity to pick up three quite splendid pictures; two of HMS Warspite – one depicting the ship in heavy seas, about to attempt the ramming of a U-Boat whilst on its way home for repairs after the Battle of Jutland, the other in Narvik Fjord, 1940 bombarding fleeing German ships and one of an anti aircraft destroyer, HMS Egret on arctic convoy duty.

It turns out that the chap selling the prints is also the artist and he emailed me to tell me that his printer had broken down and that the second two of the prints would be delayed until next week. He offered to refund my money if I couldn’t wait, or as a gesture of goodwill, a couple of A4 size prints for free from his catalogue ( www.warshipart.com ). So that’s what I have gone for.

As it happens, I was in the shower when the first print arrived this morning, so I couldn’t take delivery. I shall have to collect it tomorrow morning. I need some frames now, I guess.
