  • Someone has premier tickets to see the new Shrek film. What awful parodying should I expect?
  • Since my FB mods are snoozing, I’ll answer that question. The value of the first die is fixed for consistent Collapse results. (-Seb) #fb
  • I.E., the base die won’t change value during a Collapse. So its value as set during the building of the Heat is important (-Sebastian) #fb
  • In HfL news, the text has been 80% proofed by Joe Murphy. It should be complete this weekend! (-Sebastian) #fb
  • Shrek 4 is a vomitous, cheap, hollow re-mix of all the things they think troubled-marriage’d, ageing women want to hear. Bluurgh. #shrek4
  • ..but I guess that’s what all family movies are like. God, I don’t know if I’m more sickened by that trashy shite or my own trashy cynicism.
  • 2 best goals of the tournament? Gooooo Japan! #worldcup
  • Plucking out typos is like picking blackheads. #fb
  • Exporting the Press Quality PDF of Hell for Leather (to be shipped to Fidlar Doubleday for printing). #fb
  • Sneak peak at the full colour Hell for Leather Target. Mmmm. http://cobwebgames.com/index.php/cobweb-art-deluxe-edition-target/ #fb
  • I just bought a mobile with GPS on it and Skype and everything. Wow, the 21st century is Hot!
  • My copy of A Taste For Murder arrived! Tasteful design, nice size, lovely writing. I’ll read it & talk about it after. http://bit.ly/acU2JP
  • The Hell for Leather files will be uploaded to the US printers in 7 mins… 6 mins… 5…

As I prune away the last few typos from the print version of Hell for Leather, I ready the uber-spanky new Target Playsheet (available from the Cobweb Shop).

  • I had my first haircut in two years. I look less fuzzy.
  • Just ran the last playtest of Hell for Leather. The latest draft is to be proofed and then we’re going straight to print. #fb
  • Today I spent five hours meeting a stranger.
  • Thought of an idea for a story called Sick Sticks & Nosferatu. #dontforgetstuff
  • Spending the afternoon at the World Street Performer’s Championship in Dublin city.
  • I just read that being a geek is sexy. Sweet.
  • Yesterday I drove for seven hours, parked in the woods, strung up a noose and executed a hen. It took an hour to butcher.
  • Has anyone else seen the French film “A Prophet?” I liked it.

We got caught stealing drugs from kids.

That was the opening conception for the collection of buff thugs starring in this week’s 80s extravaganza. Following up from our 70s, disco-licious, narcotic upset the week before, it was a natural choice to fast-forward to the decade of piano neckties and statement-saying shoulder-pads. More… »
