I hate Killer Whales

Like many people I watched Free Willy as a child and was tricked into think these whales were intelligent and friendly with loads of personality. Then as I got older I watched some more balanced nature programmes from the BBC, things like Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Life and the latest Frozen Planet. These programmes have all taught me one thing, Killer whales are gits. They kill everything. I have seen them kill seals, sea lions penguins, even white sharks and the worst Baby Blue Whales. They sneak, they trick and they even play with their food slapping half dead seals high into the air. They are horrible. they are mean to EVERYTHING.

But then I hear that some killer whales travel thousands of miles to relax in some warm tropical waves and I think maybe they are not that bad, maybe they are just a bit stressed and that's why they are mean to everything.

200 word rpg challenge - entry idea "The labyrinthine library"

For the last few years David Schirduan and Marshall Miller , have run a 200 word rpg challenge . The simple concept is a competition to " Design a role-playing game using 200 words or less ." With a panel of judges going through the dozens and dozens of entries. Reading through previous years entries has inspired me to give it a go. Below is my attempt at writing a simple rpg in 200 words. I would love to hear any thoughts people have after reading it. The Labyrinthine Library Need Scrabble tiles, DM & 3-4 players Players are the Arcanist’s assistants. Sent into the labyrinthine library to find a lost spell scroll. The DM makes up a series of challenges. Character creation Characters have 2 HP. Take 2 scrabble tiles. The Letters are your Initials. Make up your names. The numbers give you 2 abilities from list below. 1 = +1HP 2 = nimble 3 = goodshot 4 = brawler 5 = small animal companion (cat/owl/ferret etc) 8 = academic 10 = 1 (DM approved) spell

First attempt at a one page rpg system using dominoes not dice

Restarting blogging this year hasn't gone very well so far but here is something. I've attempted to write a One page domino based rpg . I was intrigued by the idea of a domino based rpg after reading about Macabre Tales and have heavily imitated their system to attempt to make a one page rpg system myself. I'm sharing this first draft online for feedback for both the rpg system and my attempt to explain the system. Game design is a big personal aim for my 2017 so I am going to try a number of small projects. I have some rpg ideas, board game ideas and card game ideas. This blog seems as good as place as any to share my working progress.

Fishkeeping in a Cambodian Rice Field

Improving subsistence farmers diet with fish husbandry in Cambodia How can a bunch of fish ponds make a real difference? This summer I am travelling around South-East Asia, including Cambodia. In Cambodia I will be visiting some NGOs and voluntary aid projects . I meet with our main contact this week and most of the work is focused on people projects, teaching English, prison visits , drug addiction etc but they mentioned one project where they help rice farmers start fish husbandry projects. These projects are designed to help the local subsistence farmers grow on fish to adult size for increasing the protein component of their diet. Being interested in all forms of fish keeping I hope that when we travel to Cambodia I can visit the project or at least meet up with the team managing the project. It sounds like a fascinating and practical way to help some of the worlds poorest improve their diet and economic situation. It was mentioned that the project specifically look
