Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

we need a word for when a vaguely poor taste joke isn’t unfunny because it’s not woke enough, but because it’s just a poorly-written joke. “hack” isn’t it, since hack jokes can still be well-written but tired premises

A very very cool pakidge arrived today @anicacihla.com
A wooden box with the words “Sin Eater” carved in long elegant script across the top. There are red marks (fingerprints?) across the box as if it’s stained with blood.

hello! I can confirm this is a delightful little two-player improv game that has big Coast-To-Coast with Art Bell energy. i love old drive-time radio call-in shows with unhinged callers, so i wanted to make a game that’s an homage to that.

Hugely sad. We've lost John Blanche. It's hard to know where to begin. He set fire to a generation's imagination, and those fires show no sign of stopping burning. His work very much illuminated the darkness.
