For folks looking to get more out of Liminal Horror, check out the most recent episode of Dice Exploder. Sam and Craig really get into the meat of what makes Fallout tick and do a fantastic job of explaining why it can hit like a truck with the right table.

This week, a day late, on Dice Exploder: @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social joins me to talk about fallout from Liminal Horror. It's adventure writing, how to make harm interesting, and horror modules! Take a listen:

Star Wars returning to its roots: weird little guys. A Glup Shitto supreme. A+, no notes.

"Huluween" unfortunately still must learn the crucial lesson that not every horror movie is a Halloween movie.

I'm really vibing with Control Resonant, but I must admit that Returnal and Saros broke my brain as to what I should expect when it comes to dynamic boss battles.

Spooky Season PSA: Don't sleep on Bloodheist by @infrabeige.bsky.social! It's something like "Blades in the Darks meets World of Darkness", but I've never not had a good time with the game. It's incredibly well written and absolutely nails the theme it's going for. graculusdroog.itch.io/bloodheist

Bloodheist by graculusdroog

A tabletop RPG about desperate thieves and despicable vampires.

My favorite thing about Led Zeppelin is that for their final* album, 10+ years into their career, they just say "fuck it" and make a honky-tonk rockabilly song called "Hot Dog" that's a bit of lighthearted clowning on Texas.

The Bureau of Control’s strongest soldiers are their graphic design team.

For hobby news outside your orbit, the Federal Duck Stamp competition has come to a close with yet another win by one of the Hautman brothers, who collectively have won the competition 17 times since 1990 despite winners being barred from entry for 3 years after a win.

Sometimes you finish a dungeon in a day, sometimes it takes you 3 days to finish a d20 table of Halloween costumes and their associated trinkets.

So excited to finally share this!

Heartworm is coming to consoles on October 1st! Step into a world where memories and mourning blur the lines between reality and supernatural visions in this atmospheric survival horror game from @adinolfi.bsky.social

As a former voyager of the “gifted kid” pipeline, it’s not burnout that ruining my life, it’s the little gremlin that lives in my head that’s just constantly saying “you could do more”.

Old "weird fiction" is when there are tentacles and maybe racism New "weird fiction" is when there is a scary mannequin or marionette or maybe a mushroom "New weird fiction" is when the city's weird (also maybe mushroom) "Bizarro fiction" is when there are sex goblins

Resident Evil, a one sentence review: Shit dude, some of those residents really were evil!

This movie was just what happens when @unenthuser.bsky.social lets me play any horror game with them, and I mean that as a high compliment but also Josh will know exactly what this means

At the theater to watch Zach's Gallon of T-Virus with the pals after bailing on our RPG night to watch Barbarian last night. We got too much Cregger on the brain.

I don't think Bloober has managed to knock it out of the park for me on any of their games yet, but the manipulations of you as a player representing a character's "descent into madness" is such a clever idea. youtu.be/zS7-Se04c8w?...

The Garbage Plate is too perfect of a dish for it to be near exclusively regionally locked.

So there's this entire set of novels that spawned as Reylo fanfic, the most popular if which was probably The Love Hypothesis. That book has now spawned a film adaptation of its own, with its "Kylo Ren inspired" male romantic lead being played by Daisy Ridley's real-life husband.

Turned on the Xena channel on Prime after not having seen the show since my youth and was immediately greeted by Ted Raimi wearing socks and a pink nightgown, swinging from tree to tree and talking like an ape man. King shit. No notes.

Jules Verne, one of the fathers of science fiction, was a man who asked the important questions. What horrors lie within the depths of the ocean? What lies in the center of the Earth? Wouldn’t it be cool if we shot the moon with like a giant fucking gun???

Got a chance to play @munkao.bsky.social's Kala Mandala tonight, Tragedy at Zaya's Theatre specifically. I can't talk about it much w/o spoiling, but I love that following what appears to be the obvious Hehe I'm So Clever Path both works but does not get you the Best Ending. Very good adventure.

My favorite thing about the "I read Playboy for the articles" joke was learning that Playboy actually used to have incredible articles. Like Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Arthur C. Clark were writing short stories for that shit.

We should make a game jam where we all try to make the game Jeff wants, genuinely
