One question I ask myself is if I have a box of prop guns because I'm a YouTuber, or am I a YouTuber as an excuse to own a box of prop guns.

So there's a 6th edition of Vampire the Masquerade in the works. My only suggestion is it comes with an album titled Session Zero that includes 'Black No.1' by Type O Negative, 'Nemesis' by Shriekback, 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' by Bauhaus, & 'Cry Little Sister' from The Lost Boys.
History books try to erase the Great Crab Uprising of the 1950s. Only a cherished few artifacts remain that tell the story of brutality, bravery, and butter.
Someone on one of the Traveller boards pointed this out and now I can't unsee it.
Still the greatest Call of Cthulhu character sheet evar!
This is clearly the result of a Keeper having to improvise brooding dialogue, panicking, and having a moment of pure genius.

Damn. 4 years since this photo. 1 year since he died. My philosophy for when you finally get to meet your online friends is to make it weird. And then keep making it weirder. Miss ya, Bud
I've waited decades to see Molly Millions outside of my imagination. She does not disappoint. Dina Meyer stole my heart when they changed Molly to Jane for Johnny Mnemonic, but Molly is the OG razorgirl.
The single biggest failure of 1990s nerds was there wasn't a huge spike in the number of babies named "Fox"
GM: The unspeakable, tentacled horror charges your Call of Cthulhu character. PLAYER: I'm going to spring away. GM: So you're running? PLAYER: Did I stutter? I said I'm springing away.
Woot! Got my contributor copy of Call of Cthulhu RPG Innsmouth! This @chaosium.bsky.social book is a BEAST. The Chaosium team did a phenomenal job. Hats off to the A.D. Ty Carey and layout Chandler K.! Honored to be among these amazingly talented artists. 💚⚔️🎨 #rollforsanity #ttrpg #digitalart
New RPG Review is up, citizens! Today we're looking at the All New Shiny Edition of Paranoia. It's a game of catch-22s, unfair rulings, backstabbing, and mandatory fun – all updated for the current age, and bitingly relevant in its satire. I'm sure no one will be upset by that. youtu.be/muhz0SKu6oA

8 years ago today, I posted a silly little video that I was sure no one would like. I was very wrong. youtu.be/htVkRfTDkEE

Nine years later, I'm still protecting Alpha Complex (and still haven't gotten a promotion)
Hive Mind! I am looking for a Deaf or Partially Deaf artist/graphic designer who signs (I'm not overly bothered whether that's BSL, ASL, or what) who might *potentially* be interested in doing some SFF book covers for pay. These are fact-finding enquiries for me at present, not immediate contract.
Fundamentally disagrees that games should be played to know how they run. This is is the same type of dipshittery as saying, "Playtesting is unnecessary, as my designs are always perfect". Dude thinks he's more capable than then entire RPG industry because they play it to see how it runs.
10 years ago today I left my job at the university to become a full-time weirdo. I celebrated my final day throwing parachute men off the parking garage. Sadly, one was lost to a tree.

Taking damage in Call of Cthulhu is always a cause for concern.
I went to a friend's house yesterday & they were watching Ewoks: Battle for Endor (1985). While being critical of any Star Wars stuff released in the last 12+ years is perfectly fine, anyone claiming how the new stuff, "ruined their childhood" is saying they loved this and deserves ridicule
Many editors & readers hate book prologues. Mostly do to years of authors using them as info-dumps. I feel a perfect prologue would be like Blade's. A short pre-title scene without context, & then opening credits. So Prologue, Title Page, Ch1. The story explains the prologue. Not the other way.
