TTRPG hole
Tuesday, July 8, 2025
Unboxing my new Starter Set of The One Ring. (Now some very personal blogging that will only interest a few of you) Last week I wrote about the fantasy hole I have been in. Contributing to this is the fact that we are also in a Table Top Role Playing Game hole as well. I have been playing TTRPGs with the same group since 2013. We started together after a big Board Game Night where we organized two simultaneous sessions of The Red Box to introduce people to tabletop gaming.
I love taking people into our nearby forest and walking around the bend and saying “Hey look over there 👉 “
Dentist in the morning. Haircut in the afternoon (sat there with a frozen jaw 😬). Now it is evening and I am kicking back with a gold drink and a good book #amreading
Spent the evening at the Richmond Night Market 🍡🍧🧋🥡🍢🌮
Checking in to the Vegetarian Festival at Thrangu Monastery
As former remote island residents ourselves, we’ve been keeping an eye on the ongoing earthquake activity and evacuations in the Tokara Island chain centered on Akusekijima 悪石島 or “Evil Rock Island” 😳 #japan #earthquake
Moonrise on #ikijima 2023 #memories
Those lights are Fukuoka on the mainland, but there might be one or two squid boats too

Back at the range, this month with second daughter. Getting some decent grouping!

Fantasy hole
Monday, June 30, 2025
Yeah, I have fallen down one in the past few months for sure. Last year my brother introduced me to The Blade Itself (2006) by Joe Abercrombie, part of the (currently) 10 book series called The First Law. A year later and I have completed the first trilogy, the three standalone novels, and the short story collection. Keep in mind that I am not one to binge book series… in fact I like to spread them out a little since I prefer variety in my reading diet week-to-week.
Scale
Monday, June 30, 2025
It is possible to identify a natural scale. When an enterprise grows beyond a certain point on this scale, it first frustrates the end for which it was originally designed, and then rapidly becomes a threat to society itself. These scales must be identified and the parameters of human endeavours within which human life remains viable must be explored. — Ivan Illich, Tools for Conviviality (1973)
