- I've been mistaken a few times in the past by people wanting to connect thinking I'm Dave Chapman who did the special effects on Doctor Who and Top of the Pops. I'm not... However, just found out my image from FB is up as the Dave Chapman who made loads of video games on the Amstrad. Not me!

- I’ve known Steve since the old Buffy RPG days and Doctor Who, and I wish I kept more in touch with him. This was a shock when I heard, but Rascal have done a great job of spreading Steve’s message.
- Game designer Steve Dee @tinstargames.bsky.social unexpectedly passed last week. His last public post is a touching meditation on solidarity. "The smallest things can still be incredibly powerful...You matter, and if you show up, you can change your fate, or someone else’s. And that is everything.”
