I thought of that but it's not bubbling up hard enough - would be very hard to collect

I meant public institutions in the UK

Oh that's fascinating. Thanks for sharing

He was so awful. Convinced the whole office would fall apart without him & objectionable in so many other ways. He left a month later, delivering the news smugly like we'd all panic. We threw a party instead. And I heard he lasted 3 weeks in his new job before they kicked him out.

Yeah I stopped using the search a long time ago but I'm not aware of a good alternative to maps and it's been fine up until recently

Compare with what claims to be a fairly literal translation: Heaney's is much closer to the literal text, but I think I prefer Headley's as an object in its own right, at least for these lines. The two translations are a whole both have their own significant merits.

Yes, thanks for the reminder: I have a copy. But I was disappointed by the relatively small number of squads they provided rules for. Was hoping for some more in WD but I don't they they ever published any.

Oh that's a great shirt

Yeah, I don't want an open table game.

010

No, a board game. Nothing against Necromunda but I want to minimise rules overhead and scenery and open table miniatures games tend to need both. Also, Necromunda doesn't really feature the main 40k factions

Jesus, no mention of Moorcock in list or comments either! Serious question have these authors just become massively passé in the last 20 years and I didn't notice?

010

It's not 40k tho. And the once great Underworlds has been ruined by excessive cash-in overstuffing. I had this urge to do something different that I could use my 40k figures for. I love the models but I don't care for the game.

I was waiting for this. What a lovely blade.

110

Ooh, bone or wood handle?

100

Ah that's really inreresting and helpful, thank you!

010

Ooh. I would be interested in your opinions on this post of mine which seems to have caused some minor debate. I don't know very much at all - but does this count as an attempt at alliterative verse? bsky.app/profile/matt...

Shoutout to the wikipedia editor who made this bit of the plot summary of Beowulf sound like the Anglo-Saxon model of alliterative poetry actually used in the story

This is a topic of debate elsewhere in the thread. To my British English ear they sound pretty similar.

If you need a job done, you should always hire a horrible amalgam of mermaid and treebeard because they're guaranteed to be a-fish-ent.

040

I think they're very similar in British English

Oh that's interesting, thank you - I didn't realise it was supposed to be the entire syllable. Knowing Ezra Pound got this wrong too makes me feel slightly less foolish
