To any out there that might have family for dear friends in Florida, please let them remember one of the guys running for governor did this, even though right now, he's trying to erase any such ties to the current and undisputably failed Trump administration. Don't let them or him forget it.

This is a common, but wildly inaccurate take on the whole situation because not one of the official game designers made such a claim. Ever. The so-calledy damage to #TTRPGS is due to unimaginative takes such as these in order for other systems to gain traction or notoriety, but all of them stream

This fucking idiots. How's that no vote rigging AND vote theft at the same time? If someone is a citizen, they have a vote and that's an unalienable right. Fuck this rich, entitled, law-illiterate assrags.

Well, you aren't "The West" and telling the truth and calling you out on your bullshit isn't a betrayal, you ridículous ketamine-laced man-child. Heck, you're not even a trilionaire and if everything settles properly, people will soon realize you never were a billionaire, just a grifter with "fiat"

Ah, my Bluesky people, how I've missed you. So, good to see almost everyone has been doing as well as they possibly can. Me? Another three novels to fine-tune and lots of interpretation work. Oh, and a new rescue good boy, this one solely by me. His name is Tundro. He hijacked my bed since day 1

Or indulge themselves as long as they can until their piper comes calling? Ah, who knows... but I can hear Hell beckoning me

So, back to writing #ttrpg fun stuff for my own project that was put in the back burner for almost a year and a half. A mid-tier campaign with high stakes... Very high, indeed. For proof, please refer to Exhibit A:

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 13/10/2023

So, will I get my way & finally play my halfling monk of the Monkey Monastery with the Drunken Master technique... who also happened to be a bard in the past... now performing as a Luchador? Ah, Xanathar's Guide, you opened so many possibilities in silliness for this weary DM-come-player. #DnD5e

I've been fooling around with some images for this month. You know, just to let my mind wander & enjoy the month's vibe.

So, it's only been three days into October, and I've already been ghosted. It's OK. It was nice while it lasted, and it's only fitting given the season. Besides, I like the quiet in here.

Have I told you I play #MarvelSnap & sometimes the game is too good to me?

OK. That's enough of me thinking about it. Remember Adam Ant? Well, I always liked the way he brought back certain fashion trends to the receding Punk as well as to the fledgling Goth and Neo-Romantic communities. So, I'm finally commissioning a bespoke dolman in black, green & silver. Life's short.

Bitchin'! By doing random rolling for. things to add to the character's personality traits & quirks, I got "grappler" & my eyes lit up. I'm telling you, this Luchador bard thing I've in the works is coming closer to being a reality. This 1-shot one is going to be a trial run, but I'm doing it.

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 06/09/2023

The changes it's gone through and the possibilities available to create incredible options for players & their allies, and for antagonists, of course! Plus, it links to the "those other X-Men" books that work as perfect bridges (Excalibur & X-Force v6) between the X.Men sourcebook & what could be

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 06/09/2023

Ok. I'm halfway done with the last 3 years of #X-Men tales, and in love with the #MarvelMultiverse #ttrpg. The X-Men expansion is already on the work as @forbeck.com has already announced, but what I'm going to try hard at getting accepted is writing the #Otherworld expansion! It's so good! Amazing!

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 06/09/2023

So this next Saturday, I'm going back to play #DnD with a trio of friends I had in a previous group, and that great. It's a one shot, but the interesting thing is I got to play a bard. I've never played one, so this is going to be interesting especially because I plan to play mine with stage fright!

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 04/09/2023

Well, even after finding that the whole X-family of titles is now "more connected than ever"—which means more issues to buy every month in order to get the whole story—with me quitting every single title since "House of M" & the awful "Messiah CompleX," I was reluctant to try them again, but now...

And image from "X of Swords" depicting Apocalypse's original Horsemen from the dawn of time as they bear witness to the last battle for the Otherworld, and En Sabah Nur, sheds a tear in regret for having left them many millennia ago.

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 03/09/2023

Dramatic recreation, sure. But I'd say it's pretty spot on. Don't you think, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com? 😆

Silly meme about mistaking Sir Ian McKellen Elijah Wood looked fot Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman in 1986.

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 28/08/2023

It's fun, dynamic, evolving has a few guest stories in issues 2 and 3, and the plot thickens yet every issue feels self-contained and satisfying read. It has enough mystical action to make it interesting and a developing plot that promises to change a few things now Stephen's back for the dead. A+!

Have I told you that after a bit of a low start, now I'm loving the current run of Ghost Rider? @benjaminpercy.bsky.social is creating a fascinating take on Johnny Blaze & the rest of the characters. Corey Smith's artwork's becoming a pretty good fit for the tales he's spinning. Highly recommended!

Now, look at Mr. LaValle. C'mon! Tell me this is just a coincidence, I dare youse all!

Is this a coincidence? Because, let's face it: we all know what that number really means.

Don't you love writing? I was only trying to ascertain where I had read a specific paragraph in Leivick's works in relation to the Otherness & how it's has been linked to Lycanthropy in the Torah, and down the rabbit hole I went so now I'm reading Scholem's "On the Kabbalah and Its Symbolism."

"Even a man who is pure in heart And says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." —Curt Siodmak, “The Wolf Man”— Yep. It's time to begin with the pre-Hallows' Eve preparations. For starters, I'm stocking up with plenty of werewolf movies.

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 22/08/2023

Ok. Having gone down my "daily early morning rabbit hole, " because of reasons, now I think I'm in dire need to find late Michael J. Murphy movies, if only to make sure I'd watched them as a young 'un way back when. So far, only a BluRay collection is available and no legal streaming service has 'em

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 22/08/2023

My! Pints are getting expensive and they all last less than four hours! Way less, in my case. But yes, this trend about having a "series" out with the first volume priced a cent south of a pound, only to then have the following go to a moderately higher price for basically the same amount of words.

where I imagine things: being a Fantasy war ¿game aficionado, some stretches give me ideas of scenery I can use for my battles. Usually hill with sparse vegetation. Other times, it's just me letting my imagination run wild with stories that are inspired by the sights, even if these don't make it to

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 20/08/2023

Still, I sat through both Ghost Rider movies, so I wasn't going to ditch this title that easy! I mean, a meaningless "cameo-laden" issue is not enough for Ghost Rider to crash & burn! So, I trudge on, now on issue #10; not completely in love, but still far from dropping & deleting it from my list.

000

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 20/08/2023

Still, not a bad run or take so far—I should know. I sat there through both GR movies, only to leave appalled by my inability to walk out earlier. I won't say all of the comic versions have been great, but none has been bad even though all have their stinker issues. In this series, it's #5. Silly D-

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 20/08/2023

and at times it's rather silly. A thing that adds to this feeling of the story not completely gripping the reader's attention. I guess that's as much "horror artwork" as we're going to ever get from Disney's Marvel & that I'm still too fond of Javier Saltares's & Mark Texeira's 90s art style & feel.

Txabier Etxeberri @txabier.bsky.social · 20/08/2023

Noth that Mr. Benjamin Percy is doing a poor job. Far from it. He's trying to make the most of the characters & plots for each issue. Still, each of these episodes are somewhat uneven in their pacing & the art is just too "Late 80s style" to truly capture the horror supposed to be unfolding in there
