@cephyran.bsky.socialReposted by @gavthorpe.co.ukThis is the one, yeah? I can add to this fun fact: the reason many people don't have it is because its vestigial, and is slowly being bred out of the species. Also, autocorrect tries to turn Palmaris into Walmart.
@gavthorpe.co.ukGood turn out, lovely to meet many local authors and readers.
@gavthorpe.co.ukAmazing.
@cadianxv.bsky.socialReposted by @gavthorpe.co.ukLook at these wonderful old Citadel Miniatures! My mum painted these back in 1988, and passed me the box this summer.
Given the limited availability of paints back then, I think she did a fantastic job. 🎨
I intend to repaint a selection and present them back to her for her birthday. #nerdlings
@gavthorpe.co.ukIt’s #BookshopDay and I’ll be at an author event with Books on the Bridge.
@gavthorpe.co.ukIt’s in our local Tesco Extra (Notts / Derby border) if you want me to send a care package.

@bethanyblack.bsky.socialReposted by @gavthorpe.co.ukThis is the sort of credulity that we as humans cannot afford in our press. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE SO FAR HAS BEEN “ACTING ON ITS OWN” every single one has been trained on data where people had done this first and then asked to attempt to do this all for the “if anything our AI is *too* powerful”
@verityholloway.bsky.socialReposted by @gavthorpe.co.ukThe annual murder-gonk cull is upon us. I hate these things with a passion. Every year at my old job, we'd be instructed to destroy them on sight because they're a massive fire & cancer risk. I've ripped the heads off so many, I feel like some kind of elven serial killer.

@ttgda.bsky.socialReposted by @gavthorpe.co.ukWe have learned of a website (which we are not linking to) that is charging people to pay to play knockoffs of popular board games like Catan, Wingspan, Agricola and more - different names, crappy art, same mechanics.
@antqgames.bsky.socialReposted by @gavthorpe.co.ukGetting the word out for a Ttrpg Kickstarter is difficult, especially as an indie studio. You ask, beg, and plead folks for attention, all while watching established projects overshadow most everything. Still, sometimes things shine through! Here's a few that did today 🔗⤵️
