Urban Fantasy Fridays: The Unexplained (2009) Last year on Fridays, I spent some time with urban fantasy games and lifespan development. This year, I am looking at campaign development. Up first is a game I played around with in 2010 and thought was fun. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/urba...

October Movie Challenge: Slaughter High (1986) Let's get into my theme properly now. Search for "high school," "horror," and "1986," and this usually comes up first. The fact that it also stars Caroline Munro is only the icing on a very bloody cake. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/08/octo...

October Movie Challenge: Dracula (2025) I have a theme this year, but I need to get this one out of the way first. And wow, was it ever a big disappointment. If someone says, "Dracula is a love story." They clearly never read the novel. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/octo...

This is a picture at my old hometown pizza place, Leo's Pizza. This is the owner's daughter and I love everything about this. I think this has to be from the 1980s. This is hanging up near the cash register. I love this place.

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.

#RPGaDay2026 - Day 14: Regard It's understandable why many gamers hold Old School designers in such high regard; they created something important and meaningful to folks in their formative years. It's important to note, they're just people & often "don't meet your heroes" holds true for them, too.
