A movie that takes place where you're from.

Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes waiting on the sidewalk with his lunchbox. The schoolbus will be here soon. Calvin thinks aloud, "Becoming an adult is probably the dumbest thing you could ever do!"

Thinking of making a horror movie about a man who keeps discovering 12-inch rulers in his home. It's a found footage film.

BOING!

Classic Warhammer miniature. A goblin with large sword riding to battle on a giant squig (a beast that comprises a massive head on two legs, with a penchant for bouncing).

It's another #MiniatureMonday. I recently finished up this old goblin warlord on his giant cave squig. A serious chunk of metal! Pinned, as always, onto a @fenrisgames.com resin temple base.

Oh man, wait till you hear about the sequel.

On May 11, 1950, while working on the Rawlins National Bank in Wyoming, a construction crew unearthed a whiskey barrel that contained a human skeleton with its skull cap sawed off & an odd pair of shoes. Dr. Lillian Heath, now in her 80s, was asked if she knew anything about it...🧵

Maybe we first associate Christmas with peace and joy - but it does have a darker side too, which can be a great source of inspiration for writing! And Charlotte Baker will be exploring this in her two-week course, kicking off on the 1st December...

Fantastic! Amazing film. And once you’ve watched, why don’t you all tuck up in bed with our podcast covering this pod.link/1547179456/e...

I am furious that you already made this joke but I didn't see it until afterwards.

HWAET!

a screenshot of the Australian version of Taste Christmas, a recipe magazine, showing a recipe for a gingerbread house made of something known as "crack", which I think is some kind of mixture of chocolate and salty ingredients like crackers or pretzels. so they've called it "festive crack house"

oh, that's... that's not... you can't call it that

Lucky none of this is real, or I'd be in trouble!

You have to work at it. It looks dated, the acting is very 90s, and the ending gets a bit silly. But it actually goes for the same aesthetic, and is narratively superior IMO. All of the characters are more well drawn, and it stays on theme. Solid effort.

I finally did it. And look, I know this might be controversial, but I actually think it's better than the Del Toro movie...

Oh, nice. This is a published scenario called Viral, for Call of Cthulhu 7th ed. It's very good, although the amount of prep and multi-tasking it requires of the GM is quite a big ask.

One of the most depressing things I've ever read. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

“Are the fae open source?” is such a terrifying question in so many ways.

I have not. "Zero prep" sounds good - the one I'm running requires lots of prep, and multiple devices, and it's making my head spin 😅

Just ran session 1 of our much-postponed Halloween RPG. The players are all YouTube ghost hunters, investigating an abandoned asylum. It's already going a bit Grave Encounters.

I'm about to rewatch this one, it's been a while. But I figured:

Staff at this haunted supermarket are too scared to work on Halloween Like food shopping isn't terrifying enough already.

I grew up less than 8 miles from here, which is why I (and probably everyone else who remembers the stories) would give this a great big Nope!
