Does Taking A Theme List Get You "Props"?

Image
or does it get you a complete fisting?  Subtext - if you devise an event that has leanings to a theme or a scene, should you actively support those who Go Go Gadget Theme? On the flip, if you are running a vanilla 90, should you drop the pretext of any kind of theme concession at all - and forget even trying to apply a contextual wrapper around your event? The urge is always stronk. When you're like me - theme as fuck - there's always that voice saying "you're going to get a beating". Now the reason for this post *now* is that you have seen my list for an upcoming 90 where I'm taking complete junk in the name of sticking two finger up at GW. But is anyone else going to rock up on the theme team? And is anyone but me going to appreciate the theme?  Does My Dedication To Theme Ruin "Srs Bzns" Players Fun At Events? So, I went to a one day 90 which normally I wouldn't. It was in Birmingham, which is a bizarre melting pot of fairly seriously non-them...

Putting The Wrong Shit In The Bin

Word up, fam. Its the tizzle to get bizzle with the shizzle. Ya knizzle? We all know that young people cant seemingly open their mouths without spouting some ridiculous yoofspeak. The next person who says skibbidy to me is likely to get my boot in their face. Yet one phrase that has traction this month is "get in the bin". Stuff that's rightly shit should, in fact, go in the bin. Leaving good stuff that isn't in the bin.....but have you ever found yourself  *scrabbling in the actual bin*  to find something you have thrown away something you shouldn't? Its a vital part of Brit life that, when given choices, we can sometimes get a little silly. Lets open up a boat naming competition. Lets have a Christmas number one song about a sausage roll. Equally silly, lets consider the following photo from the actual real, real world of politics. One a serious politician. One full of shit. You decide. So, what's goi ng in the MESBG bin? What should go in the bin? What has...

En Hyggelig Weekend I Belgien

 Goddag og godaften, Small hiatus, folk, as I basically spent the last few months going absolutely mental. Anyway, an Englishman, Dane, and four more Danes walk into a bar. Seriously. It was a bar at an event held in actual Belgium! We drank beers and had a cosy time. Absolute top kek, and minimal rage - mostly got out of my system in the first hour or so. Anyway... Many things in Danish are fucking hilarious.  Harshly, so few Danes are as skilled and proficient in playing toy soldiers as I, and as I hail from the former capital of Denmark  (not at all anything to do with my being free that weekend) I joined the Danish national team....of toy soldiers players. A quick blast at the old DuoLingo and a ticket to Antwerp on the plane and I was ready to go. Travel Luxair, on the other hand, thought differently when it announced the scrapping of its flight BACK to England. Happy to leave me stranded in a country where haut cuisine is mayo on your chips, I managed to wangle a ri...
