Another awesome project from Emmet Byrne, so obviously I’m in.

TTRPGs needs a genuine and discerning critical apparatus. I can’t practice this sort of criticism of TTRPGs. I’m too embedded in the guts of it all to find perspective - I’m glad someone as discerning as @laurieoc.bsky.social and the writers here are leading that work, and I’m happy to support it!

80s Japanese game art clearly influenced by Moebius, Druillet, Corben, etc. slaps so hard. This is one of my favorite illustrations ever.

I’m not entirely sure how I ended up seeing this five times in the cinema, but for one reason or another I did. And I enjoyed it every time.

Never liked Tom Holland - I dislike his willingness to represent himself as a trained historian when he’s nothing of the sort, and doesn’t seem interested in actual scholarship. But this is a new low…

In Tarot you sometimes will get the same reading over and over. When this happens, take heed. The universe is trying to tell you: you are not very good at shuffling.

Will Sheff’s latest, Extra Mile, is so good. Takes what made Okkervil River so good, but weds it to a gentler, if no less sardonic, perspective. Last track Ancient Tourist builds to a delirious finale which manages to make the fact we just endlessly repeat patterns of the past sound almost noble.

What’s the description from The Call of Cthulhu… ‘a slushy nastiness as of a cloven sunfish’? Turns out, it’s pretty good description. As demonstrated by Orcas. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For those who don't know... @robbiaburns.bsky.social is a fucking sicko. So good thing we paired them up with fellow sicko @quinnblackwell.bsky.social for an upcoming release of a stand alone stand alone solo game created by Quinn for use with @bastionland.bsky.social's Mythic Bastionland.

John Blanche’s influence is vast, the touch of his genius visible everywhere you look in modern geek culture. As someone who spent a lot of time in rooms with the same nicotine-stained palate he made such use of, he helped make those places alive, fantastical. Battlegrounds on grandad’s wallpaper.

It’s an interesting choice for Edgar Wright’s Running Man (2025) to cast Glenn Powell as the rugged working class hero - given he looks like white American privilege in a tightly fitted flesh suit.

I am struggling to understand why Breathless isn’t already funded. It’s a very good game, very well made, and incredibly easy to get to the table. So if you haven’t backed it, you should. Be smart like me, and back it.

I love y'all, but if I have to read another "I am inventing game-based learning and/or larping from first principles" essay that refuses to acknowledge the last 25 years of research, I'm going to have to give its author an academic time-out (and a reading list).
