Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th August 2024

25th August, 2024.

Right then … Sundays … !

And, frankly?

I’m expecting a quiet one.

Although … I might just watch some more of The Big Bang Theory.

It’s rather fun!

While we’re talking about videos … ?

My nephew, Jude, has done another one!

I hope that picks up a few likes, and a few extra subscribers: the amount of work he puts in deserves it, I think.

*        Hello, Mum!   (She was definitely American, Mum!)

†        There’s a few dating back to the 1980s, Debbi.   They’re listed here.   There’s at least one, crime themed, GURPS supplement, as well.   Apparently, the writer of that is a criminal defence lawyer.   (It’s still available: and possibly needs adventures written for it‡ … )

‡        Do you remember me mentioning a writer (and editor) called Storm, Debbi?   She once told me she tell if a new writer had a games background: “I can hear the rattle!”
