He Was a Legendary Newsroom Colleague. Turned Out He Had a Secret Past How an unexpected email led me to crack the mystery of Charles Saunders

Excerpt from the new Charles Saunders bio in The Walrus. His life intersected two of my niche interests, Nova Scotia journalism and sword and sorcery fiction. I thought about writing to him once circa 2019 and regret that I never did. thewalrusca.substack.com/p/he-was-a-l...

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

A circular chart labeled THE MEDDLER'S MYSTERY (in parody of The Hero's Journey) A silhouette of a shaggy from Scooby Doo occupies the top of the chart. The chart is split with a line across the top third, labeling the top section "KNOWN" and the bottom section "UNKNOWN" Around the circle are the following steps: - Call to Mystery - Supernatural Activity - Spooky Creep(s) - Threshold (the gang splits up) - Giant Sandwich - Hijinks and Hilarity - Jinkies! - Chase through doorways (RUH-ROH!) - Entrapment - Unmasking - "...you Meddling Kids!"

The Meddler's Mystery, also known as the monomystery, is a story structure where meddling kids split up to investigate a paranormal mystery, and have to overcome spooky monsters and frightful ghouls, before ultimately revealing the creep to be a phony.

Last night I was in the mood for some sword and/or sorcery and I finally got around to reading these two stories and they rocked

It strays from a lot of the rules of the formula (most notably by eschewing the first person viewport) but what it changes helps it hone in on the stuff that makes DRPGs compelling; Dungeon exploration, risky combat, and resource management.

Damn. I was just thinking about Quester again and hoping the English translation for Monochrome Echoes would be ready soon. If you like Dungeon Crawlers (think Etrian Odyssey) you should definitely check out Quester.
