Link: A Tale of Two Rodneys on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: An amusing tale where yet again Rodney accidentally activates an Ancient machine on Atlantis. On this occasion it duplicates him. This of course leads to great consternation and a lot of snark and argument between the Rodneys. Eventually, Radek and the linguists figure out the machine's purpose, and John finally gets rewarded after a very trying day. A fun romp!
This is by the author of "I, Rodney" in which Rodney's an android. You can check that one out at the LJ link above.

Map Generators?

For gaming purposes I want a map of a 1930s-40s Welsh town with a population large enough to support a few factories, shops, two or three schools and several churches, a hospital, town hall, a power station and gasworks, railway station, etc., and if possible have them on the map. I'd like the map to be clear and if possible not based on any real location. Above all I'd like a license or permission to publish the maps as part of an RPG, preferably VERY cheaply since this probably won't make much money.

I've come across a few sites that will generate simple areas, such as this one which can do an area of a few streets:

https://www.rolegenerator.com/en/module/streets

but it doesn't feel like they integrate well as a coherent town, and the scale is pretty random. The same site has a generator for walled towns that looks OK, but doesn't have modern infrastructure etc.

Anyone know of something aimed more towards my needs that won't break the bank?

Link Fic: Interruptus

Author's summary: He gets up to both fingers quickly after that, carefully moving his other hand to his cock and giving it a stroke without toppling over. There’s a dildo in his drawer, right next to the lube and an unused box of condoms– he hasn’t had the time in months, and the only way he’s not fucking himself on it tonight is if–

“Colonel Sheppard to the Control Room. Colonel Sheppard.”

He pulls his hand free and flops back down flat and grumbles, “god dammit.”

Why This Must Be Read: This is an exceptional fic that starts out really funny and makes you laugh and feel for John, who’s desperate but unsuccessful in finding completion. But wow, then the tables are turned, bringing Rodney into play—liking to watch and being bossy—with John doing what he’s told. It will turn you into a melting mess, leaving you desperate for a fan. Enjoy!

Two Mongoose Traveller bundles, with three more to come later in the week! One of these is a repeat, the other new: the revived December 2024 Mongoose Traveller Update Bundle, with the core rulebook and useful supplements, and a new bundle, Traveller Imperial Navy, with sourcebooks and adventures for the Third Imperium space fleet.

TRAVELLER UPDATE (from Dec 2024)
 https://bundleofholding.com/presents/TravUpdateR1

TRAVELLER IMPERIAL NAVY (new)
 https://bundleofholding.com/presents/ImperialNavy

 

This is apparently going to be Mongoose Traveller week, with 5 bundles coming in all - the reason being that May 1st is Traveller Day, because the 1977 edition had a "Mayday" message on the cover. In my opinion it's about the best version (Unless you're a GURPS fan or are waiting for the forthcoming D&D Traveller which is apparently going to be a thing, but I suspect not one that interests me)

Since they've chosen to release these bundles now because of the date, I'm wondering if there will be something in a galaxy far, far away for May 4th...

Back from Vienna

 We went on vacation this month and it was so wonderful! We did a group tour of Vienna, Austria, our first time doing something like that, and I have to say, it was really nice to have someone else organize the trip. We had a great time. Learned about the Hapsburgs, learned a lot about Mozart and Haydn, went to an opera, saw some of the countryside, had lunch on the Danube, saw a fantastic minerals collection at the Natural History museum, saw so much good art, ate really good food. It was really fun.

Why This Must Be Read: This is an amazing, beautifully written fic by ladiflowdi that takes my breath away every time I read it! It’s so hot and emotional and just perfect! It captures a deeply intimate moment between John and Rodney, seen through Sam's eyes, and you can’t help but share in her jealousy as she secretly observes the perfect fulfillment, the perfect completion—the perfect picture of love.

Another RPG Bundle - Voidrunner

Apr. 22nd, 2026 08:01 pm

[personal profile] ffutures
This is a bundle of material in the "Voidrunner's Codex Special" featuring a spacefaring expansion for D&D 5E and Level Up from EN Publishing.

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Voidrunners

  

The idea is to use the D&D or compatible rules for SF adventures; it's aimed primarily at SF-only campaigns, but designed so that combinations of SF and fantasy can be used.

This isn't actually something I need, since I already have plenty of SF games and settings including several I've written myself, but if you're mostly familiar with D&D or Level Up this may be a good route to running SF adventures. It's reasonably priced and you're getting more than a gigabyte of material (admittedly including a lot of deck plans etc.) and may be interesting to others who want to mine it for ideas, cool ship designs, etc.

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

and there's a podfic read by general_jinjur
Why This Must Be Read: A well-known classic, but apparently never reccd here before. Told from Rodney's POV, in which he elects to use alien tech for a temporary sex change as only women can access the stored artifacts of a matriarchal culture. John is moderately thrown by this, especially when Rodney commandeers him to test drive Rodney's new body sexually. Which goes less ideally than it might due to John being secretly way up there on the Kinsey scale. Rodney's perspective is funny, self-involved and perceptive all at once as he figures out what the hell is up with John, and of course, once he does and they're back home with Rodney male again, it's incendiary. Brilliantly written, and very hot.

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, Teyla Emmagan, Radek Zelenka
Rating: Mature
Length: 13,319
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Rachael Sabotini on AO3
Themes: Arranged marriage, AU - royalty, Diplomatic marriage, Politics, Mutual pining

Summary: "It is your duty to the empire to marry Rodney McKay."

Reccer's Notes: This is an interesting romantic romp set in a somewhat steampunk AU where John is married off by his cousin the empress Elizabeth, to Rodney, a leader in the neighbouring nation. John is part of treaty agreements to negotiate peace. Consummating his marriage proves difficult due to Rodney being a workaholic, anxious about never having had sex with a man before, and, that common marriage of convenience trope, as John can end the marriage after a year and a day if he chooses. There are obstacles and pining and inadequate communication, but eventually John makes a place for himself in Rodney's labs, proves his loyalty, and we get the happy ending. A fun read!
