Count me in! I'll do more than seven though, which seems ok.
"Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

Haven't done an #introduction in a while, but it seems like the thing to do as I'm #newhere
I play games of all kinds, but #rpg is especially important to me. More specific I like #osr and #retroclones.
Other than that I'm into #comics, 60-70s #weird literature, #shoegazing, #poppunk, #photography, #cooking and many things #sf&f.
I work with digital distribution of movies.
My blog (infrequent writings in both english and norwegian): https://nerderiesandnecessities.wordpress.com
This was a figure that I initially didn't like, but as I added layer on layer to the skin and wings I couldn't stop smiling. The end result turned out quite nice I think. I shall name her Harriett the Harpy. #miniature #miniaturepainting #rpg
I've only been painting minis for a few months, and not regularly, but I enjoy it immensly. It is relaxing and challenging at the same time. Also, the improvement in skill is pretty easy to track. This paladin is my best effort to date, and I know I have a long way to give, but still I'm pretty pleased with myself. #miniature #miniaturepainting
Yay! Gabor Lux/Melan of Fight On!-fame released his first zine in english! Also, he will release reformatted versions of some of his older modules. He is pretty good at mixing fantasy with science fiction and the weird. I promptly ordered his first issue of Echoes from Fomalhaut. http://beyondfomalhaut.blogspot.no/2018/03/zine-echoes-from-fomalhaut-01-now.html
Blogs on Tape must be the best thing since sliced bread. I'm devouring these like there is no tomorrow. So much good #osr-writing. http://www.paperspencils.com/bot/ #blogs #blogsontape
Naturally, heroes of #DnD gather lots of stuff, coins, items, magic and more. Too much to drag along on every little adventure. What solutions for storage exist in your campaign? Banks? Safe deposit boxes? Gnomes with rental pocket dimensions?
Give me crazy ideas and/or your best practice. Ideas on how to make the heroes spend more are welcome too.

Still #reading Stars Without Number and totally digging Crawfords take on psychic powers. It is easy to follow, elegant and powerful. The concepts of effort, torching and system strain seem very, for lack of a better word, logical.
What is your favourite system for #psionics? #SWN #starswithoutnumber
#Arduin sounds awesome, fascinating and extremely frustrating to get into. #DnD http://multiverse.world/blog/2018/03/03/welcome-abandoned-land-compleat-arduin-legacy-dave-hargrave/
This pinpoints something I try to be better at. http://trollsmyth.blogspot.com/2018/03/diversity-in-dungeon.html
It is not easy to stop overpreparing and to get rid of that ominous quantum ogre.
I'm #reading Stars Without Number Revised and now I desperately wish I was a player in a game. Everything about it is good and exciting despite its old school roots. #starswithoutnumber
I have always thought this was kind of obvious, but it seems it is not. Btw there is nothing wrong with any of this, I just happen to prefer the older style.

Outside my window this morning. Winter holiday in the Norwegian mountains.
Anyone know what a #Gribbon look like? I'm reading through The Lost City of #Barakus and I lack the Tome of Horrors 4 which supposedly contains this creature. I've searched through all my bestiaries and can't find any picture of it. The stats are recreated in the module, but no description of the creature (I think). To the best my imagination I think it looks like a flying monkey or something...
Franchises I don't grok: Star Trek, Doctor Who and Harry Potter.
Let's suppose (correctly) that I haven't been too concerned about privacy and my data online until now. I am a curious guy and therefore have many online accounts, various social media, facebook, instagram, apps, just a few different passwords, wordpress.com, and lots of old info and dead data on sites I have forgotten about (flickr, about.me and so on). What would be my best method of protecting myself now, besides deleting most of my online presence?
I mostly agree with this. Altered Carbon was a missed opportunity, too in love with its own aesthetics to do anything original or meaningful. https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/12/17004210/altered-carbon-netflix-blade-runner-aesthetic-cyberpunk-retro-futurism
