"In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?" Being somehow aware of Frankenstein and Dracula when I was about four, seeing pictures of the Karloff and Lugosi versions the Monster not bothering me but Dracula JUST LOOKED LIKE A GUY!

Last year on the podcast, I wrote an original space sci-fi movie that I described as “Battlestar Galactica meets Pirates of the Caribbean.” Now I’ve expanded that world as an episodic TV show, and it feels like the sort of thing I was made to write. If you dig my takes on sci-fi, give this a look.

It’s so funny how every single time an actor or filmmaker brings up the movie “Crash” in an interview they have to immediately qualify it with “Not the Best Picture-winner, I mean the one about car perverts”

NEAR DARK is still the best American vampire film. It rejects most European/gothic tropes and rewrites the vampires as purely American myth figures: bikers, cowboys, traveling serial killers, Civil War soldiers, and gangsters.

A drawing of a witch flying on her broom in front of an big orange circle. The point of her tall hat is bent back on the wind, and the brim is pushed back. She cackles, HEEHEEHEE, while her black cat holds on for dear life on the back of the broom. A small bubbling cauldron with a foot sticking up out of it hangs off the front of the broom trailing steam. A spider dangles by its web from the tip of the broom.

Snooty member of Cara's Mage Tradition from 1883: "Let us see what our Tradition learns in the next century. That they let someone like you claim their name." Cara: "Well, I don't wanna brag. So I'll just kick your ass and you can draw your own conclusions." Hell yes proud of that one.

I haven't heard that song, but I haven't heard the song that became the UK's longest number 1 a few months ago either. Not as far as I know anyway. Can't remember what it's called or who it's by offhand. I managed to hear and recognise last year's "song of the summer" so it's not just me.

I need to decide exactly how many stickers of this I am going to buy.
A cat princess is looking out from a tower, scowling.  At the base of the tower, a cat in a cape has set up a kanban board labeled "RESCUING THE PRINCESS MVP" With "To Do", "Doing" and "Done" columns, which he's moving cards  between.

The character sheets are printed, the rulebook and dice are in the bag. Now we wait. Idea still nebulous, as "I'll run this because nobody else is" ideas always are. After last year, might go more episodic in case of player churn. TTRPG overthink

Looks like no real changes to character creation between editions of the ALIEN RPG. Fast and simple which I'm sure doesn't imply characters need to be replaced often. ;) Trickiest part is of course picking a name suited to panicked shouting in an action scene. One or two syllables, hard consonant.
