Watched The Princess Bride again last night. It made me wonder, has anyone made a Forged In The Dark game which emulates the madcap storybook problem solving of Princess Bride? Narrator & audience chiming in to pivot the story. "Actually I was fighting with my left hand the whole time" type moments

I've been listening to so many episodes of Between Two Cairns and yet I'm only at Nov 2023. I like to think it is helping with my Mothership writing.

Rolled up a new character for the Milk Bar playtest tonight. After my Stalker got bricked by a ghost I was looking forward to playing someone more conventional. Rolled Writer on the background. Well that's within my wheelhouse.

Essential viewing for accidental misanthropes like me. I need to get better, far better, at getting myself, and my work out there. But more importantly, I need and want to talk to people who like the things I like. It will take some brain re-wiring on my end, but it is worth doing.

Who wants Johnson² pics? I've read the module before today, and it looks wonderfully fun. I'd love to get this one up the table. The physical book is really damn pretty and feels good. Plus, patches! My backpack will be very happy.

Only now am I getting into the sword and sorcery books I should have been diving into as a kid. R.E Howard and Moorcock started writing so young, and yet so well, (Lovecraft too). They didn't have video games to contend with. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
