I'm probably going to dye these blue/purple/fuchsia. See below for an example of dye like that on a pink shirt (example shirt is a dye I did on a Favorite Vegetable shirt and is NFS)

I see the same spirit of creation in Marble Hornets 2009 & Backrooms 2022 in Recorded Live 1975 & Possibly in Michigan 1983. What has improved is independent distribution

I surveyed 200 players and learned that most OSR games fall into two tiers of lethality - Meatgrinder and Picaresque. Table culture determines lethality more than system or campaign length. valerialoves.com/how-deadly-i...

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

We’re halfway through the pilot for ‘Little House on the Prairie’ (1974 TV series) and it is excessively alarming as to how bad we’ve gotten at creating television. This isn’t perfect by any means but it’s running rings around a 9-figure show with total CGI assist.

FUCKING. INCREDIBLE. I seriously cannot recommend this enough. A folktale fantasia of fantasy, comedy, sensuality, and tragedy. Tsui Hark turns the original Chinese story into a passionate, and even steamy, journey through the lusts and loves of being human, and a heartbreaking story of sisterhood.

Coolest trpg I’ve read since You Will Die in This Place. Authorial voice with attitude carries the setting and themes. Even in the cultivation genre, the setting is unique. Mechanics look great, but I’d need to play. It's not like other games I've played. Maybe a bit of 4e with osr sensibilities
