The trick there was that you had to clear your throat beforehand, otherwise it didn’t count. It surprised me then how long the game could go on even after I got it and thought the jig was up.

And I remember a party where we played a version introduced by a French lady, where someone did an action like clap their hands in a certain rhythm and people had to volunteer to try to follow it, and then the ”judges” said whether they did it right or not.

… and the people in the know would see if you were sitting on your own hand(s) when you said it, and pass judgement on whether or not what you claimed was true.

I don’t know the name for this genre, but we used to play a few when I was a kid, especially during summer on the beach. In the one I remember best you announced ”I can travel to [X place] ’på egen hand’” which is Swedish for ’on my own’ but literally means ’on my own hand’” …

If the latest run of Black Armada Tales is anything to go by, then Ex Tenebris is gonna be lit! Do yourself a favour and check it out!

Looks like the sort of building Cassian Andor is planning to break into.

Extremely cool and useful photobashing tutorial!

Yeah, I'm firmly in the camp that antagonistic models of GM-player dynamics are usually detrimental.
But yet!
I *love* that sort of "oh no, I rolled a crit failure, the GM's really gonna mess me up" kayfabe stuff.

What great timing, I’d just caught up and finished the last episode during my commute today!
I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this series, highly recommended!

I’m writing a game about working in a restaurant on a space station, and all of the setting stuff only really started to fall in place for me after a family trip to Rome!

I guess like these things often go, it was a gradual process for me, but mainly Apocalypse World (arguably John Harper’s The Regiment before that actually), then @loottheroom.bsky.social’s The Wretched.

Screenshot of a Variety article by Todd Spangler with a headline that reads "Audible's Harry Potter Series Expands cast with Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy, Simon Pegg and More"

Kit Harington as Professor Lockhart; Keira Knightley as Professor Umbridge; Iwan Rheon as Professor Lupin; Ruth Wilson as Bellatrix Lestrange; Ambika Mod as Nymphadora Tonks; Leo Woodall as Bill Weasley; Simon Pegg as Arthur Weasley; James McAvoy as Mad-Eye Moody; Gemma Whelan as Professor Sprout; and Matt Berry as Sir Cadogan. Cush Jumbo OBE as the narrator, Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Riz Ahmed as Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall, Mark Addy as Hagrid, Alex Hassell as Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays as Dobby, and Sara and Avni Deshmukh as The Patil Twins.

So let's talk about why this sucks. I am so angry and so disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people might not understand why I and my queer friends are feeling this way. Read on for an explanation 🧵(1/14)

Jesus, Chris.
