If your RPG setting doesn't include tributes to Saturday morning cartoons, can you really say you are bringing D&D back to the grimdark glory of the 1980s?

As I wait for script revisions on the #Over/Under retrospective, I've been taking care of some effect sequences in Blender and After Effects. My hope is to produce visuals that feel appropriate to the world of #MothershipRPG and Prospero's Dream.

I am moving on to the final chapter of the #Over/Under Video Essay where all that's left to do is recap the final three days of the game. At this point, I would like to put a call to hire someone to be a paid copy editor and fact checker for this script. DM me your rates if you're interested!

Something that I've been doing with a lot of retro-inspired games is using Shaderglass to make them look more authentic to that older look. Which of these filters looks best for Mina the Hollower?

Nearly 25k words in, but the #Over/Under video script has finally hit the events of November 🫠 It should be a lot more manageable from here since the main things left to cover are Anthony Bourdain, The Diouf Bakery saga, the Choke expedition, and the game's finale.

In premiere, I create a transparent video that acts as a placeholder. If there are certain effects I want applied to all footage like a Lumetri look, I apply it to the placeholder. After I cut the placeholder in time with the edit, I replace it footage from the bin or source monitor.

I have a mouse with a num pad on the side and rebound the keys the most common commands like switching tools, undo, redo, stuff like that. Makes it a little quicker when I don’t have to look back at my keyboard to do certain commands, plus I have a hand free when one of my kitties wants pets.

The #Over/Under script has officially surpassed the word count of the Moomin video (12K words). This make it the second longest script that I've produced to date. The current record to beat is 25K words, and I am both excited and filled with dread at the prospect of surpassing it.

youraislopbores.me is a fun time, but I won't tolerate this Yoko hate.

The fake AI response written by another human states "John Lennon would do anything to get away faster from Yoko's singing."

As for George, Bobo fits because the two also have a gullibility that can be used for potential violence. I can easily imagine him being manipulated into sabotaging Gonzo Gatsby's final stunt that he hopes will impress Camilla Buchanan, leading to his tragic end...

Initially, I thought Ms. Piggy would be great as Jordan because the two are equally self absorbed. But then I realized that one of the classic traits for Piggy is her constant desire to communicate her status and glamor even when it defies her reality, which is perfect for Myrtle Wilson.

Scooter works well as Nick since he is often portrayed as an unbiased observer, which Scooter often acts as, but Scooter also quite oblivious to the realities around him like Nick.

With Camilla, you could illustrate how voiceless Daisy is in her own life by the merit of Camilla only being able to communicate by Kermit and Fozzie translating her clucks for the audience.

Gonzo would work for Gatsby because the two are similarly ambitious and unsure of themselves. Just as Gatsby puts so much effort into people liking him, Gonzo puts so much effort into his stunts.

I'm talking Muppets with a friend and she asked what classical novel should be made into a Muppet movie. Lots of people have suggested Gatsby as an adaptation in the past, with Kermit and Piggy being Gatsby and Daisy. But folks... the casting is so obvious... It's in the name!
