John Cobb’s art for WoD from the 1990s still creeps me out and haunts my spooky dreams.

This attention whore lives in my front garden. Check out the apocalypse sunrise behind him from all the forest fire smoke.

I already quoteposted this, but these amazing stretch goals are really close now. Also, I wanted to show off my new purple vhs clamshell keeper screen:

Why am I buying vintage Barney VHS tapes? It’s because I need purple VHS cases for my #PublicAccessRPG keeper screen. I’ll post pics when it’s done (hopefully before game night on Friday…) Oh, and back their kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

A rare and special treat: I got to play Liminal Horror #trrpg with the guy what wrote it, @goblinarchives.itch.io at my very most favorite game store/record shop/vegan punk rock bar, Dark Future. Basically, a perfect day.

Public Access is super fun to play. It’s the game I wouldn’t shut up about, so much so that my genius daughter made me this shirt:

I ran a super-fun (to me) session of Liminal Horror #ttrpg over the weekend, in really cool space. As I was contemplating what game to run next in that space, ran across this portentous sign:

Hey #portland #ttrpg bluesky! You wanna play Liminal Horror #rpg scenario The Bloom? In the haunted basement botany office of a historical 1930s Manor House at Leach Botanical Garden? Saturday 9/27, 12-4. I have two seats left. DMs open for rsvp.

Can you name a better dark fantasy, gladiatorial combat wagering simulator than Bloodsport Gambler? No, you can’t. Because it’s the best one. I mean, I don’t know of any others, but there’s no way they are this good.

I played Trophy Dark with strangers. This game has everything: treachery, doom, enucleation. 10/10, would suffer the forest again.

1975 wargame The Siege of Minas Tirith. We have come a long way in 50 years of tabletop gaming. My favorites are all still letter-sized 1-fold zines. I have to keep digging, there’s a baggie of like 100 tiny cardboard squares somewhere around here.

Rummaging through boxes of Very Important Crap has yielded tomes of ancient lore! Imma fw the low level stuff solo tonight (with Shadowdark or DCC or ???), and inflict D1-2 on my kids’ 5e team next weekend.

Gamestorm so far today: pulpy scooby-doo style mystery shenanigans with Savage Worlds ETU, followed by darling woodland creatures doing crime and violence in Root RPG. The crime and violence was mostly my idea.

More Gamestorm last night. Got bummed out at a mediocre table. Soon after, I hopped into a quick D&D one-shot that saved the evening with upbeat attitudes and unabashed love for the game(s). These nerds transmuted my night from disappointment to the pure joy of play, and are officially rad:
