Can the title be changed to 2025-2026 edition?

Looking thin this month…

So far I’m doing well on my goals.

I can definitely say that I’m back to 40K, Old World Fantasy, and Necromunda. At least I have found people to game with again, and that’s what’s getting played. The tournaments (hopefully I’ll get one in later this year), are pretty big here – usually 80-100 spots, and sell out months in advance. GW is growing in my area.

Most of my early reading came from the lists in D&D, and what inspired them. Obviously, starting with Tolkien, but then a much deeper fantasy list developed.

Finished the series. Overall, quite decent. The tie-ins or lead ins, however they are with Rogue One and Andor are nice.

On another note, Kathleen Kennedy did indeed retire, and Dave Filoni is now head of Lucasfilm.

Star Wars used WW2 dogfights as inspiration for the TIE vs X-Wing battles. R2 and 3PO are essentially the two peasants tells the story of the Seven Samurai. The Magnifcent Seven is a…[Read more]

The ‘Culture’ novels by Iain M Banks are a favourite, and the fact that I can’t think of one to recommend signals to me that I should do a re-read.
