Brindlewood Bay Brindlewood Bay Β is a tabletop roleplaying game that combinesΒ  Murder, She Wrote Β with H.P. Lovecraft. In it, you play a group of elderly women, members of the local Murder Mavens Mystery Book...

This is good advice, I believe. The Brindlewood Bay RPG (www.gauntlet-rpg.com/brindlewood-...) has this system, and I've run a similar murder mystery myself (which I called Dropping Like Flies).

Have they released enough editions of these special features that there are documentaries and behind-the-scenes nostalgic recollections of making the special features?

You might be amused by this song I wrote about the Raston Warrior Robot, to promote The Wife In Space:

I suppose it's a pro-Marxism allegory!

My hot take: the White and Black Guardians are most interesting when they're characters who can't actually *do* anything - they can just persuade other people to do things for them, in exchange for favours. The favours are tasks that they've persuaded other people to do.

Or is this for an installation, where you need physical photographs and literal empty rooms? In which case, break a leg with it.

Would it be possible to work online? I might be suitable for what you're asking, although I'm based in London. (I do go to Birmingham quite often, though.) I have Photoshop and Blender experience.

I'm not the only person who thinks the theme from Brookside sounds like I Hear You Now, am I?

I knew you'd have a one-liner about bins.

I understand you don't want to give details... but could you give us some pointers?

That was distracting me for the whole episode, too! A shame - spoiler alert! - that Morph wasn't revealed to be the murderer at the end, in the spirit of it always being the one you least suspect.

Someone in my house has broken their Morse mug. It looks like they cracked the code.

I reckon the original title was Palm Springs Eternal, and they had to change it because there's a band called that, or something. But it would be a much better title!

Take It is great! (Still, it'd be a boring world if we all liked the same things.) And I'm Conscious Of Myself should have been the lead single.

A detailed look at how I made my Get On Your Box music video! In which I make a slightly complicated subject sound *very* complicated! Plus a balloon.

It's great to see the ladder in my bathroom getting into the Pride spirit!

From the film Arrival, a woman in an orange spacesuit holds up a sign saying "Say It's Carol Singers", which is a reference to Love, Actually.

I'm a little surprised no-one's done this one before now. Obvs let me know if I'm late to the party.

A friend suggested that I try a new synth plugin. Judging by the title of the Youtube clip, he knows what's been missing in my music.
