I'm not a fan of the system. I really have tried to figure the system out and make it work but the whole mechanics is just too fiddly for me to deal with these days.

I guess it would depend on what sort of society you have sorted out for your campaign world. Under the British system of nobility it all depends on what the monarch decides. The Wikipedia article should give you some ideas on how it is structured...

It will always be Wimpy, a chain so beloved in the UK it has resisted being killed off. While it still sells burgers it is also the home of the pork bender.

Ah I see those tables made it into Unearthed Arcana and they are indeed mostly official house rules. I'm sorry to hear that your friend passed away in 2001, they must have been a great friend indeed.

Sounds like an interesting rules addendum, do you have the magazine title or failing that the author and article title?

I did pretty much the same thing as you with the hole punch and 1p coins but I wanted something more colourful than just plain card so I used all my Magic the Gathering cards for monster tokens and they looked awesome.

Yep I finally managed to double check and their website is still active https://labyrinthe.co.uk/

I've just started watching the Tabletop Taproom video where they say that the hearing was recorded but they cannot play the video , it doesn't stop them from discussing the transcript .

I learned from my SO that the Labyrinth LARP operating out of Chislehurst caves could still be running games.

From a personal perspective I'd heard of D&D but it was the documentary series South of Watford hosted by Ben Elton that really opened my eyes and thanks to the magic of YouTube you can experience what it was like to play D&D in the 80s.

Griffin park used to be home to a very popular soccer team in West London known for having a pub at each corner. There have been reports of people claiming to see the griffin flying, usually when it's a slow news day and the people might have had more than a few pints of ESB :-)

Perhaps Honor + Intrigue would do what you want? I did encounter a game that simulated fencing duels reasonably well but I can't remember the title or publisher, the only thing I can recall about it is the word Deadelus.

What about a funky bottle of mezcal with a worm dyed purple at the bottom?

I should add that Navy strength gin was only provided to the officers as the lowly sailors were provided rum :-)

A gimlet is best made with Navy strength Plymouth gin.

I've just noticed some on the DHSM museum page which is worthy of the old Murphy's rules. Regular admission costs you $2, but if you have a Gold Membership you receive $3 off the entry cost. Does this mean you get $1 to enter? I'm not going mad am I? :-)

It does make me wonder what was going through the minds of Mayfair games when they decided to release a licensed adventure based on the film.

It doesn't look like it's available in my territory. I was fortunate to see it a few years ago when the only independent cinema in London's West End showed it. Nothing like being able to watch it at the cinema :-)

There was a film adaptation of The Keep which I really enjoyed but it doesn't appear to be on any streaming service or optical media https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Keep_(film)

I've been the forever GM since 1989 or so and there have been a few occasions when I would have liked to play with the group I had back then I always found myself on the receiving end of stuff I wasn't really happy with.
