If I am not responsive, it is because I am putting the finishing touches to a small 1970s British #folkhorror one-shot #TTRPG.

I have hidden a #treasurehunt in it.

The prize is a one-of-a-kind rulebook for a tabletop RPG called Department 23.

It will never be reprinted or recreated.

Solve the puzzles and find the location in the UK first and it is yours. And its publishing rights.

The only way to get this FREE one-shot is to add yourself to our waiting list: https://bookhouse.uk/pages/mailing-list

The Money Pit's Secrets: Booby Traps and Curses

The Oak Island pit seems to be protected. Searchers have battled ingenious booby traps, including flood tunnels that fill the shaft with seawater as they dig deeper. A stone slab with cryptic symbols was also reportedly found. A legend persists that seven people must die before the treasure is found. To date, six have lost their lives in the search. #Canada #OakIsland #TreasureHunt #Unsolved 🇨🇦

I have 3 projects that I want to launch in the next 6-12 months.

- a treasure hunt hidden in a TTRPG book: https://bookhouse.uk/pages/the-grimpen-affair
- an experimental idea for a funding model
- a treasure hunt hidden in a non-fiction book

All at various stages of completion. Each of these contribute to validation for each idea. Excited to get them out. Trying to work WITH my AuDHD, rather than against it.

It is just me working on it, so very busy. Very.

So, you're telling me I can finally stop asking my data where it comes from and just let some Bayesian wizardry handle it? 😂⛏️ Meanwhile, Christopher is out here drilling holes in the ground like a pirate searching for buried treasure, hoping his #Python spells will do the trick. 🐍🔮

🔍 Oh, the suspense! A riveting #mystery about #Clovis toolmakers choosing quartz, thwarted by a 400 Bad Request. 🤯 Who needs answers when you can have a tech support treasure hunt instead? 📞🔒

Why did Clovis toolmakers choose difficult quartz crystal? New study offers clues

Quartz crystals are difficult to knap due to size, hardness, and crystalline structure, making them a "low-quality" raw material. However, the Clovis people of North America sometimes made points and other tools from this material despite its drawbacks. To determine whether the quartz crystal points of the Clovis were functionally comparable to those made from higher-quality toolstones, Dr. Briggs Buchanan and his colleagues conducted scaling and geometric morphometric analyses on Clovis crystal points. The study is published in Lithic Technology.

Ah, the ol' tech press sleight of hand: 📜 "Cut costs by 80%!" they shout, while simultaneously handing you a treasure map. 🗺️ Spoiler alert: the map leads you through the "docsgettingstartedintroduction" labyrinth, where you too can discover the true meaning of ‘sovereign’ AI. 🙄
