My great uncle passed away earlier in the year, and now his belongings have been put up for auction. Am I currently living in the most trite of Call of Cthulhu scenarios? 😬

Vote or the nuts get it?

Yeah that has a weird feel to it. Vance isn't really the type to be the vanguard for his type to a new social media platform. Seems troll-like.

Buy this game. It does cool things!

Delete a letter, ruin a movie:

The Princess Brie

*added to reading pile*

A lot of weird fiction is just too weird or leans heavier into the supernatural. He brings it into the everyday, and is very subtle, but all the markers of horror are there in the background just picking at your brain and putting you in edge.

Aickman really is a master of the genre

The rest is gravy...

Early Arriving Basil is the true horror in British society!

Reacher. Good Omens. Doctor Who

Great. Now I want a morning roll and the nearest one is 5000km away. Cheers for that!

Such a happy way to start the work day, with a little McBride in your feed

Also that laptops and cell phones could be taken by any officials (not well defined) at any time, and there was no guarantee of their return. The researcher cancelled his trip.

I heard of a researcher in Canada (social sciences), who was planning to go to a conference in California. They were informed that they had to have 3 paper copies of all documents, including proof of hotel stay with them at all times.

Good people doing good things.

Haven't sat down to watch yet. Was that the intended effect?

This reissue has a very modern and nuanced take at these issues. This is not just a straight reprint, but a modern game with a modern aesthetic. And killer art!

Forge era classic game, exploring trust in the Cold War era. Pertinent topic to explore? I think so.

Backed for fun and trust!

Character Creation: The Tabletop Role-Players Oral History Project Hello! Thank you for your interest in participating in this project! This project seeks the voices of players, zinesters, artists, and amateur designers who played tabletop games anytime from 1970 to ...

If you played TTRPGs between 1970-2004, PhD Candidate Geoffrey Ramirez (Binghamton U) is seeking participants for “Character Creation: The Tabletop Role-Players Oral History Project” as part of his dissertation. Interviews will be archived at the Strong Museum of Play (can be time-locked, etc)

Picked these up this week. In such good condition, I doubt they've been played. Never been so happy to get some 20 year old RPG books that I'm unlikely to get to the table!

Insightful as always from DDN. Build up grassroots politics. Join your local union. Get involved.
The alternatives are not good.

Jirel of Joiry + Molly Tanzer? This is a must!

Pretty sure they were called O-grades. I wasn't in school back then, but the O Grades were swapped out for Standard grades in the mid 80s
