Watching S3 of Reacher. He's climbing down a house and uses the gutter to lower himself. The fact the gutter didn't bend or rip free holding his weight is the single least believable thing ever depicted on this show.

I should be reviewing my notes for tomorrow's game. It'd be a good idea. It's a complicated investigation with a lot of moving parts & I need to refresh myself since the last session. BUT... instead I'm reading through a mega-campaign for an entirely different RPG & thinking how awesome it looks

"The oldest and strongest emotion of men is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear women find fishmen more sexually and emotionally desirable than they find you." ~ HP Lovecraft (probably) Ever wonder why so many dudes dating profiles are them holding up a fish? It's for comparison

Ignoring the fact you'd still need to get out of the car to get to the pump, & the fact people would need an extra joint or 2 to pull off the operation from the window, AND the 'fireball in the door' Pinto hazard from accidents, just imagine how much those doors would weigh when full.

Fuck. The Dead Kennedys were one of the most influential bands on me. While Jello's scathing lyrics and distinct voice defined their message, Ray's psycho-surf playing defined their sound. He made me a lifelong fan of surf guitar.

It took me far too long to remember that wiener-biting in old-school D&D is a joke I've been making for a long-time. Such as this unhinged video I once made. youtu.be/nMktqiBO-7c

Finished God's Junk Drawer by Peter Clines. Enjoyed it quite a lot. Basically, what if a bunch of astronomy students ended up in Land of the Lost and had to survive dinosaurs, Neanderthals, and Neanderthals riding dinosaurs, but they have a janky robot butler from the future to help them out.

D&D peaked with the wiener-biting face-stabbing scorpadillo. And check out that snake. That's fucking peak snaking, I dare say. Heroes wore mawashi, kitty-ear head bands, and NOTHING ELSE. No scabbards no belts no backpacks. Grognards long for the golden age. An ago of wiener-biting & kitty ears

I would much rather look at a YouTube thumbnail from a photoshop amateur than an AI one. Hell, my immediate distaste for AI thumbnails only encourages me to never improve my crappy Photoshop skills. I already get enough grief from bozos who accuse my poorly photo-chopped images of being AI slop.

One of the great Star Wars 'what-ifs' for me is if they hadn't chickened out & deleted the old woman rebel pilot in Return of the Jedi. Was she a seasoned and decorated veteran from decades long past? Was she some crop duster who lost everything and has nothing left to lose? youtu.be/vHnhxHMJcJ4?...

Reading A Scout Is Brave. Fun little novella following a boy in 1963 who moves to the crumbling town of Innsmouth. He and the only other boy in town, Aubrey Marsh, form a little scout troop. Together, they explore that weird abandoned Navy Hospital outside of town, learn of god, and other hijinks.

After an extended weekend getaway with the siblings in Colorado, I'm back home. While I loved the company, the beautiful mountain scenery, and significantly cooler weather, I'm happy to be back home where the oxygen is. Our cats are super-pissed about our leaving them.

Call of Cthulhu used to do these campaign guide books, Secrets of New Orleans, Secrets of San Francisco, etc. that laid out the occult and sinister underbellies of those settings. I want to make Secrets of Denver International Airport, because I'm always struck by how profoundly weird this place is.

I have a feeling that it might be for the best that the 1912 King In Yellow movie has been utterly lost to time. Pretty sure the copy I just saw is the only one. Was the only one. Burned in the projector Wait a second there’s a masked bloke at the door

System Message: A Champion Has Fallen.

Today, the man who taught an entire generation that villains should be theatrical, seductive, terrifying, and impeccably dressed has died. The Dungeon mourns the loss of Tim Curry.

A voice has gone quiet. A legend has left the stage. Somewhere in the cosmic dark, a suspiciously fabulous laugh echoes one final time.

All Crawlers who choose to continue rather than accept a deal will receive 1946 gold, one Legendary Charisma Box, and a temporary +10 bonus to Performance checks when delivering a monologue while dramatically turning away from your enemies.

Don't dream it. Be it.

D&D Gnolls really did hyenas wrong. They should be extremely matriarchal. Their bites should be insanely powerful. There's so much more that coulda been done instead of just reskinned orcs. Also, Casual Geographic is a treasure. His hyena video is amazing. youtu.be/qc5nK6_9VBs?...

My favorite part of Han's outfit is the 3 little pockets for Nos chargers so he and Chewie can do galaxy gas in hyperspace. Even after all these years, Star Wars remembers its 1970s roots.

One of the small joys I have to escape the horrors is every Thursday Katee Sackoff and her husband watch and react to an episode of Battlestar Galactica. Despite her playing Starbuck, neither she or her husband have watched it before. We're on Season 2. It's my Thursday joy youtu.be/7FJD9_9VO90?...

The 2 most likely reasons for my untimely death are 1: Trying to pet a wild but adorable animal (probably a large cat), or 2: Answering an ad like this. Despite my foreknowledge that these will certainly kill me, I am powerless to stop my inevitable but easily avoidable fate.
Panel from an old comic of a man reading a personal ad and saying to himself, "Say... THIS looks interesting!"
Personal Ad reads: "Girl endowed with beauty and occult powers, schooled in Egyptian Necromancy, wishes to contact writer interested in learning black magic! Dare to write me! All replies confidential."

Changing the title 'Chariot of the Gods' to 'Chariot of the Angels' for the new Alien edition feels goofy. I always loved the literary references of Alien RPG adventure titles. 'Destroyer of Worlds' 'Heart of Darkness' 'Chariot of the Angels' loses the punch. Keep the name. Change the cover art.
Side by side of the 2e Alien RPG adventure 'Chariot of the Angels' beside the 1e version 'Chariot of the Gods'. The cover art is the same

We decided to watch Season 1 of Day of the Jackal (2024), so of course I started with watching the original 1973 film. Both were fantastic, but I'm amazed at how well the show reimagined it as a present-day thriller with a very different plot, while simultaneously a faithful remake of the film.
Side-by-side comparison of the 'zeroing the custom sniper rifle' scene from both the 1973 and 2024 Day of the Jackal versions.  They are strikingly similar from the camera angle, the way he tied the rifle to the tree, to their clothing - including red neckerchiefs with white dots

Normally, the SOP I've adopted for crowdfunded games is I watch, wait, and weigh how much I really want it or think how much I'll still want it once it eventually arrives. Sometimes the campaign ends before I make up my mind. I didn't hesitate for this one.
