House of Mystery 149 (7233)
19.10.2025 12:38 โ ๐ 287 ๐ 87 ๐ฌ 7 ๐ 7Had a conversation yesterday where someone kept asking me why I said Deborah Ann Woll is a good GM.
"How so?"
"What do you mean?"
"But how?"
I replied at first, thinking he was asking me what about her style I like.
But since he kept asking, then I realized he couldn't fathom the idea.
Yikes.
anyway

I'm doing the latter as much as I can myself. And I'll do my best to do the former too.
Lmao, another "Soulslike inspired" game that's doing so well on crowdfunding too.
Really can't go three weeks without one. As if there's a huge demand for those, almost.
Ok.
I've watched a review from a Soulsborne person I kinda follow who doesn't know the IP, so I'd get a sort of "separate" opinion.
It really isn't Bloodlines 2, it seems.
It's what it is, and I'm not interested. Oh well, I didn't plan to get it anyways, but it's good to know I'm not missing out.
Guess who binged all Blue Eye Samurai yesterday evening, right into the depth of the night.

Somehow itโs fine for one of the most lucrative franchises in the world to have significantly lower standards.

Art of my Elden Ring OC, Grave Goddess Megaera. A leporine woman with amber eyes, long golden hair and purple fingertips dressed in purple, gold and silver. Miniature versions of Base Serpent Messmerโs winged serpents are curled around her hand and head. A spectral winged rabbit flies beside her. Grave Violets and Skeletal Flowers bloom around her.
Elden Ring inspired artwork depicting Godwyn, Prince of Death wielding Death Lightning. Facing away from him is his sibling Megaera, Goddess of Graves (my OC) in her Twinbird transition form. Both of them have a hand hovering around a golden aura of Grace. A faint image of an eclipse sits behind them.
Art of Revenant from Elden Ring: Nightreign with ghostly skeletal arms around her.

In this house, I raised myself on Kain and Raziel. Of course I'm into that.
Besides, I support women's rights *and* wrongs.
Me: "Damn, I love Ranni & Needle Knight Leda."
Someone, inevitably: "You do know they're characters who committed crimes and atrocities in pursuit of their goals, right? They're not right nor pure!"
Me: "Wasn't I clear the first time?"
Someone got a copy of the book they developed.
Here the local ambassadors pose with it.
Hehehe, I quoted that post nominating myself earlier, so this truly validates my hubris :D

Consumed, emptied. To have my fire snuffed out, again and again.
I'm tired of being dying embers. So, so tired.
Sad about this. I never had the chance to interact with Rob. I hoped I would, someday.
By all accounts, even for a stranger like me, he was a beacon of passion, ideals, and kindness in our tabletop culture and beyond.
We are at $2898/$3000 (our first goal, to help James recoup most of the money they've already spent on his care). Thank you all so much! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
GFM has a $5 minimum - to send a smaller donation, hit up the link below & put "for James" in the note - I'll add it to the total.

this is by far the worst reading of Alan Mooreโs Watchmen Iโve ever seen and if you spend an appreciable amount of time online you will know what a crowning achievement that is
