The bended knee photo shows me (obscured) and my mate Damon (bald guy in the grey t-shirt) drowning our sorrows after awful 8pm-12 roleplaying session was abandoned after 25 minutes due to sabotage by truly terrible player (made me think of the ‘worst roleplaying experience’ on the podcast). We are drinking lager, playing Dr Who card game i bought for my son and asking ourselves ‘who was that guy?’ It was a real shame because other players and GM seemed nice and two other rpg sessions had gone really well.
Other news: £3.60 for two (half empty) packets of crisps. And I live in London……………….
+1 for Blythy’s B7 T-Shirt
