I'm close to finishing a new project! Taking a wild punt into unexplored territory, I've made a hybrid of solo journaling game and narrative wargame. This being me, it involves intoxicants, zombies, and nuns. So allow me to introduce In The Scarlet Cloister.

It's a funny thing when you finish a ttrpg for a book club and decide to go follow the lead designer on Bluesky only to discover that you already have and apparently she followed you back at some point.

Yeah, people definitely like to play that up. It isnt wrong thst there were certain aspects that directly compared better to other cultures at the time, but like you said, that definitely didnt make it good!

Eventually we're going to have to acknowledge the fact that we're not going to be able to constructively address the GM burnout problem as long as our definition of "bad GMing" includes "having any preferences whatsoever about what kind of game they want to run".

Soniferous Aether xkcd.com/3238/
Comic. [Person and second person with ponytail on stage. Person 1 gestures behind at a display of different wavelengths while Person 2 addresses people off-panel.] PERSON 2: We all know the speed of light is constant for all observers. But our experiments show that the speed of sound *changes* based on the observer's motion. Thus, we posit the existence of the *soniferous aether*, a medium that fills the space between us and carries sound waves. [caption] Sometimes physicists forget that air exists and rediscover it from first principles.

Types of Board Game xkcd.com/3235/
Comic: Types of Board Game. [Each panel has a person, a person with a ponytail, a person with shoulder-length hair, and a person with a white hat seated around a table with different  board game and pieces on top. (1) Boring: PERSON 3: Each turn, roll a die and move your token. Turns proceed clockwise around the table until we all get tired and go home. (2) Abstract: PERSON 1: Each turn, you can place any number of red triangles or blue squares on a hexagon, or move any hexagon to a... (3) Hyperspecific Theme: PERSON 2: It’s October 2, 1814. The Congress of Vienna convenes. You are each in charge of distributing and lighting candles for the opening ball, which was held at these three locations... (4) Overcomplicated: PERSON 4: It’s a cross between *Twilight Imperium* and *Cones of Dunshhire*, but implemented entirely in category theory. Every cone is a monad, and... (5) Cooperative: PERSON 3: We’re working together to sort these decks of cards using only hand gestures. After that, we’ll silently organize my junk drawer. (6) Branded: PERSON 1: You can play as Phoebe, Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Ross, Joey, or, due to an ill-advised tie-in, Goku. (7) Party: PERSON 2: Each of the cards in your hand has a bad word on it. On the count of three, yell the... (8) Social Deduction: PERSON 3: Remember, per our *find the secret murderer* house rules from last week, discovering that a player has committed a real-life murder does *not* count.

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)
Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!”
Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?”
Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.”
Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

The Yorknew City arc in Hunter x Hunter is so cool because it’s three of the main characters looking on eBay for a PlayStation 1 game off screen while the fourth develops a Martial Art centered entirely around being history’s greatest hater.

Absolute Comics is doing what Ultimate Comics did twenty five years ago and what comics have struggled to do since then, it's giving people a place to jump on with no prior knowledge and all they have to do is just keep reading the series they want, one issue to another.
