Since its inception decades ago, the tabletop roleplaying game
Dungeons & Dragons has offered an escape from the real world,
the chance to enter distant realms, walk in new shoes, and be part
of immersive, imaginative tales as they unfold. More so, in Thom
James Carter's opinion, it's a perfect vessel for queer exploration
and joy. Journey on, adventurer, as Dungeon Master Thom invites
readers into the game's exciting queer, utopian possibilities,
traversing its history and contemporary evolution, the queer
potential resting within gameplay, the homebrewers making it their
own, stories from fellow players, and the power to explore and
examine identity and how people want to lead their lives in real
and imagined worlds alike. Grab a sword and get your dice at the
ready, this queer adventure is about to begin. (This book is
unofficial and unaffiliated with properties Wizards of the Coast
and Dungeons & Dragons.)

experiencing life as you live it and appreciating little moments of joy

logical left and the creative right sides of our brains and brings us
to a state of mindfulness. Mindfulness 500-piece jigsaw puzzles feature
beautiful images from around the world, especially designed to
captivate and challenge the mind, one piece at a time.
Key Features:
• Exquisitely photographed images that are carefully considered with

an obvious match.
• Studies have concluded that people who solve jigsaw puzzles can have
longer life
expectancy, better quality of life and reduced chances of developing
certain illnesses (e.g.
memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer's disease) by up to a third.

over age 55, those
who reported a better ability to savor life were more likely to report
higher life satisfaction,

Why do some games seem to be universal while others have a
particular connection to the culture of the people playing them?

the fascination of a popular lockdown game. From the secrets of
whist to hopscotch, Scrabble to Wordle. The most simple games
endure: board games, card games and dice games have captivated us

Creativity Code (among many others) will once again bring

The Forth Rail Bridge is one of the world's great engineering
feats, and one of its most well-known. When it opened in 1890, the
cantilevered bridge had one of the world's longest spans, at 541
metres. Its distinctive and innovative design marks it as an
important milestone in bridge construction during the period when
railways came to dominate long-distance land travel. Spanning the
estuary of one of the country's great rivers, the Forth Bridge
revolutionised travel within Scotland, and it continues to carry
and freight more than 130 years after its official opening. This
view of the Forth Rail Bridge features the Gresley A4 Class Pacific
Plover locomotive and was painted by Terence Cuneo (1907-1996) for
British Railways in 1952. Cuneo withstood gales of over 50 mph as
he sketched the scene from a girder above the track.
