Subdued dragons are the whole reason I learned to look innocent while saying “but… I’m… Just following the rules.”

2) They meet jackalweres on the road, disguised as roving musicians. J’weres have no musical skills but offer to show them a secret abandoned farm a mile from the road to camp in for the night, do everything possible to separate the PCs from their armor and weapons. The PCs eat out of their hands.

The weirdest set of interactions in all my GMing life: 1) Heading out of town during a fertility festival, a hippy priestess who offers the PCs flowers. They interrogate her for 30 out-of-game minutes and accuse her of trying to poison them.

Personal milestone: I got my first royalty check from the publisher today, which means my book has officially sold enough copies to cover the advance they gave me. That doesn't sound like much but it's a huge deal personally. Anyway I'm going to be crying for the rest of the day.

@rrookstudio.bsky.social has done an amazing job stewarding this title through our "First Time In Print" line. @johnnyisorena.bsky.social's layout is pulling at the themes beautifully. Catherine has made an amazing game. Physical release will be Metatopia; digital preorders will start soon. 2/2

Plus One is honored to bring Cat Ramen's Midnight at the Oasis to print. Originally published in @gauntletrpg.bsky.social's Codex Glamour this game explores deeply personal queer experiences. I am in tears reading it. 1/2

Even my young mind knew this movie had everything that would come to consume my nightmares: Someone else's judgy murderous mom hiding under your bed! Archery ranges and foreshadowing! Flashback scenes about that twink you knew you'd regret sleeping with!

Brenda is appalled that Nick would shoot an arrow as she was walking through the camp, thus foreshadowing how she would die later that very night.

Y'all, there were many hot shirtless dudes running around in the Friday the 13th film series, and some even made it to final boy (esp during the Tommy Jarvis era when there was like a whole final entourage). But none quite got my young, gay Kryptonite formula like John D. LeMay's Ryan Dallion.

In keeping with my own ancient traditions (going back to the hazy days of 2023), my October tradition is to consume 31+ horror/thriller narratives (fiction, film, tv) over the course of the month. Finished Coldheart Canyon and halfway through The Intrigue, but going to detour...

I've spent months trolling through goodreads, trekking through blogland, and reading the opinions of so-called book reviewers, and failed to find a crime thriller worth my time, so I solved the problem by reading more Silvia Moreno-Garcia (obviously).

In late 2022, an FLGS asked me to run my own 5e adventure (no longer in print). I showed up with pregens, ready to run, looked out at the 9 players (???), and realized I couldn't fake it anymore. I apologized to the 5e fans and spontaneously threw together a hack of 24XX.
