Pontianaks are sometimes women who die in childbirth. Sara is (unbeknownst to herself) a pontianak "cured" of her monstrousness---in effect, "cured" her ghosthood.

Something very cool that Breakout Con is doing this year: arranging tables for playing solo rpgs together. In fact, I'll be running a few for SPINE.

This could be a special experience and even challenge some common notions about the nature of solo rpgs.

🌺A PERFECT WIFE, IN PLAY🌺

This play-report series continues to be excellent. Of particular deliciousness is seeing how Benj is building on the details in the text, which are pretty terse---suggesting, implying, offering answers that are obviously suspicious or insufficient.

Mounting dread.

🚨SICK STRETCHGOAL ALERT🚨

Graphic from the Blades '68 BackerKit crowdfunding campaign, showing stretch goal contributors Avalyn Ramsay writing "Psychic Commie Rats" and Aaron Lim writing "Report on the Inaugural Crowfoot Wargaming Convention of '68".

They announced my stretch goal for Blades '68! Let's get to $390,000 so I can write about The Inaugural Crowfoot Wargaming Convention of '68 (which split of from the Charterhall Conference On Historical and Strategic Wargames that started two years before). www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Just hope his clairvoyance is more limited than it has been, so far.

In-game, we are currently embroiled in corporate intrigue over a restructuring of the planet's dwindling water supply. Some people will make a lot of money, millions more will go thirsty.

John has an eye for detail---and, more importantly, an eye for the political implications of said details. This brief:

About the differences between local sects of the Imperial Cult?

Its minutiae have absolutely been pivotal, in play.

... a subplot involving the Inquisition trying to destroy cogitator servers full of incriminating emails)

I'd say our 40K campaign's reference points are way more contemporary.

John pitched this campaign to us as "underground resistance vs Nazi Germany", with us PCs the resistance to the Imperium's Nazis-

But considering the stuff in-game (megacorps running brush wars, a G7-like trade summit to determine who gets water and who gets comets; financial-market shenanigans ...

Tickles me how prescient our Imperium Maledictum campaign has been.

A year ago it would have taken paragraphs to explain the "death futures market", how we took a bet that the archdeacon would die within the week. (He was our assassination target.)

Now, I can just say: it's Kalshi / Polymarket.

Once again, ladies and gentlemen:

The Great Satan.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

"He cannot use a phone. He doesn’t know his address, he doesn’t know phone numbers, he can’t communicate, he can’t see. And they just left him.”

Look what the mailman gave me

SUBJECTING A HERMIT CRAB TO INAPPROPRIATE TOUCH

Today I found this fellow here, and wanted to feel the bristles on their purple feet and their stubby pincers. They did not appreciate this.

Love for me is shaped like this. The touch of the sun on sand through trees. The sound of the sun in the crunch of leaves, on the path. The smell of the sun, in the wind, over the straits.

🚨COOL PREORDER ALERT🚨

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.
