I'm recruiting for a number of online D&D and MoTW games - see the current list at my blog. All times UK (GMT+1). UK- and AUS-friendly times. All on @startplaying If you fancy trying D&D, I'm a pretty good bet for a GM. #dungeonsAndDragons

Hey! I'm a bit scared to put this out there but I just uploaded a video to youtube of me live-coding a Mandelbrot viewer in p5.js. You might like it if you're into fractals, creative coding or have ever wondered how the Mandelbrot set works.

@benunsworth Do you notice a change? I feel like my life has been up-ended by changes in dog-owning behaviour over the last few years. I have a very serious dog allergy, but until recently, it was just a minor inconvenience. A huge dog in the optician today so I couldn't pick up new glasses!

Fancy playing D&D on Thursday nights (UK time)? New campaign starting tonight. The campaign is Dragon of Icespire Peak and it's a great campaign if you're new to D&D or a seasoned player after a "quests, loot and dead orcs" feel. #dungeonsAndDragons

@paul_clarke Is it from that old warehouse complex that's now art studios. I can't remember what it's called!

If I run the beginner adventure, anyone want to try it out with me? Who do I know who are proper trekkies? @sammy__o1 ?

Very beginner friendly, but for old hands too. I like this campaign because it's straight-up D&D with wizards and fighters and rogues fighting orcs and goblins. Oh, and a dragon. Monday: Wednesday: Thursday:

I have a full table for my one-shot Dungeons & Dragons taster campaign tomorrow, but there are still seats available for my game on Sunday 11am UTC+1. If you fancy trying D&D to see if you like it, it's a good 2-3 hour adventure with a classic D&D feel.

Anyone have any advice for how I should go about getting a school-hours, three-day-a-week remote mentoring contract? I've worked with lots of junior and not-so-junior programmers, improved the productivity of lots of teams. I'd like to see if I can make it pay. RTs appreciated.

I made a little utility to make it easier to print cardboard standees for my in-person D&D games. Hope you find it useful too. Not mobile friendly, but should work in most desktop browsers. #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpgcommunity

Free seat on my Icespire Peak D&D campaign @startplaying tomorrow morning (UK time)! It's been silly and fun. There's a unstoppable bard with an AC/DC songbook *. A god that talks-like-a-pirate. A posh crab. * planar magic, natch. Thunder! #dnd

D&D in the Guardian! Not sure it really gets to the heart of how fun it is to play make-believe. Fancy trying it out? You could do worse that sign up for one of my online games. Next one-off beginners game on Wed Mar 20th:
