Bit of a slow day work wise, so for shits and giggles, I made a little promo video for my game offering at the @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social's virtual con. Sign ups are still open. 🤘😊 FYI: There are a few flashes and movement distortions that may affect photosensitive viewers.

Listening recently to a @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social podcast on liminal spaces and horror, this looks intriguing

Alex Sun from @rpg-reanimators.bsky.social joins us again, this time to explore how environmental storytelling might work in tabletop RPGs. A fascinating topic, and not that would have occurred to us. We're grateful to Alex for suggesting it. blasphemoustomes.com/2026/06/02/e...

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Twenty Palaces is a phenomenal series. It's the perfect antidote to the more generic forms of urban fantasy. Just pure creativity and weirdness.

I was pleased this episode of @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social, focusing on Urban Fantasy and Cthulhu, not only has @sskorkowsky.bsky.social as a guest, but they have some good deep cuts, including the Twenty Palaces series by @byharryconnolly.bsky.social blasphemoustomes.com/2026/03/24/c...

I finished Scratchman last night which was a huge amount of fun. I then started leafing through a book about Cryptids that I bought in Des Moines last year. I think my subconscious was swayed by the recent @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social episode about cryptids.

There are a pile of online cons through the year which are worth a look... @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social do an excellent horror one.

For a little over a year, we've been putting out monthly bonus episodes on Patreon in which Matt and Scott revisit recent episodes with insights and ideas they couldn't fit into the original discussion. We thought we'd share one of these publicly as a taste. blasphemoustomes.com/2026/01/05/b...

Glad you liked it! I totally get the appeal of bofffer larps, but I agree that they're not my thing. It was an interesting and weirdly educational experience, however, and it did affect how I look at tabletop games.

There are some serious content warnings here. We discuss self-mutilation as performance art and religious ritual, Joel-Peter Witkin's use of human remains in his photographic tableaus, and some of the more grotesque parts of the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, especially those involving stomach pumps.
