My First Solo RPG Let's Play
So… for a while I’ve wanted to a) try and get into RPGs more and b) try my hand at creative writing…
The consequence of that is I’m having a go at a solo journal based rpg and I decided to blog it!
Check it out - let me know what you think? Feedback greatly appreciated!

I love that!
Metro Bank Cup Starts Today
First day of the Metro Bank Cup (English county 50 over tournament).
It’ll be interesting to see how the counties go with some of the key limited overs players also on Hundred duty - a chance for fringe and youth players to stake a claim perhaps!
It was wonderful wasn’t it!
I can’t believe the bail trick worked again! His face when it did was priceless!
One of the greats of English cricket, he’ll be missed.
Cult of Lamb
Enjoyed that way more than I thought I would.
diabolic
That’s one hell of a succubus! We’re all doomed 😂
Game absolutely on with this flurry of wickets in the second session of the day!
I have a horrible feeling you might be right. We need a few quick wickets this morning to try and swing the momentum back a little bit. Potentially being a bowler down is not going to help there!
“A new hand has touched the beacon!”

Both series have been - the men’s and the women’s!
5th Ashes Test underway
Are we all looking forward to the final test in the men's Ashes series?
A think a drawn series overall (i.e. an England win in this test) would probably be a fair result. As an Englishman I'd happily take a drawn series after the first two tests as well!
IGNORE ME! I've realised I'd done something silly - fixed it now!
Actually this may be a problem with my account as posts on all my subscribed communities seem to not be displaying correctly.
Community posts not showing?
I created a community (!cricketcaptainfans), posted an intro message in it, allegedly there's a second post but none of the posts are visible anywhere - any idea what's happening/what I've done wrong in community creation?
Yep! I’ve never understood those people that just wander round somewhere filming it all on their phone - you might as well just stay home and watch a video tour of the place online.
As an Englishman I've no issue with the holders retaining the Urn if the series is drawn - after all the other team didn't win the trophy back did they.
Yep, the thousands of people and the 3 inches of bullet-proof glass…
Amusingly when I went to see it (might still be the case I don’t know), if you wandered out of the room she’s in you could basically stand with your nose on his John the Baptist but almost no one was stood there looking at it.
It was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be too! The exact opposite of the Mona Lisa which was so much smaller than I expected for some reason (still not sure why I expected it to be large given it's a portrait...).
Just started exploring the Fediverse (Mastodon first as an exile from the 'bird that's no longer a bird' app and thought I'd have a look at Lemmy too. So far I must say I'm really enjoying them both!
It's a stunning painting. Had the privilege to stand in front of it and it's truly breathtaking.
The metaphorical coin toss
Greetings all!
I thought I'd set up a community where any fans of the Cricket Captain series of games could come together to chat, discuss, bemoan and gloat as appropriate (all in a good natured way of course).
I'm currently playing on the latest version (CC2023) and am in my second season as Leicestershire and I'm also helming the Manchester Originals in The Hundred.
First season wasn't much to shout about Leicestershire wise - 6th in Division 2, didn't make it out of the group in the Blast but did reach the quarter finals in the Royal London Cup which was nice!
The Hundred went much better with me topping the pool stage and making it straight through to the final against the Trent Rockets. Who beat me relatively comfortably as my batting line-up was hamstrung by England call ups.
Season 2 has started much more promisingly and I'm sat top of Div 2 with 5 wins from 5!
I'll keep you all posted on progress and the trials and tribulations going forward!
