This is a really interesting question, but my attempts to google it were foiled by an Egypt-ish setting for D&D.

Kind of a longshot here but maybe @shannonappelcline.bsky.social knows how early D&D or similar games reached Egypt & North Africa?

Fun fact: Murray Head, who gained fame with the song "One Night in Bangkok," is the brother of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Anthony Head.

Bookhounds of London An Ennie- and Golden Geek-award-winning supplement for Trail of Cthulhu. These cycles of experience, of course, all stem from that worm-riddled book. I remember when I found it โ€“ in a dimly lighted p...

I'm not sure about existing fiction, but Ken Hite's TTRPG Bookhounds of London scratches this itch tone-wise. If you don't want to play the game, the setting can still inspire a lot of great story ideas!

I heard there was a Cohen song,

And all the Christians got it wrong,

But you donโ€™t really get the meaning do ya?

โ€˜Cause you see its about getting laid,

Itโ€™s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,

But all the gentiles heard was โ€œhallelujah!โ€

What's the model? On a lot of the older fords you can buy a 3rd-party replacement and program them yourself, but some are indeed dealer-only.

I don't know if it's wrong necessarily but it's driving me a little crazy as an O's fan. I am really struggling to evaluate the quality of these moves.

Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man is going into the public domain on January 1st in case anyone wants to make a horror film about an adorably drunk couple and their dog chasing, like, a killer clown or something.

If fans still care even knowing that the overall game result wasn't shaped by the scheme, it is not because they are sickos who care about every single regular-season pitchโ€”or, at least, it is not necessarily that. The biggest effect of a scandal like this is that the viewer now has doubt about what she sees, even if it is legitimate. Nobody wants a fixed outcome or a foregone conclusion. What is amusing and incidentally heroic about Andy Pages ruining an eight-leg parlay thanks to his poor plate discipline is the proof that still, in baseball, there is only so much anybody can control. Of course, now one can imagine a situation in which a pitcher tips off his guys that he's going to throw a first-pitch ball, and a batter tips off his guys that he's going to swing at the first pitch to guarantee a strike, and we will be granted the most depraved swing-ball combination you've ever seen in your life.
