I found some old notes for an rpg game using the characters and objects from Cluedo for Call of Cthulhu, where you start on the basic board but it gets weirder and more cosmic horror the further out the players go (randomly generated). Cthudo!
When we played Tomb of Horrors, the first session, they moved slowly and methodically, ten-foot-poling every corridor but eventually got their asses handed to them and retreated out to forward camp. The next IRL day they realized this dungeon doesn’t play nice and so neither should they.
…
i made a starter back of beautiful and unique manuscripts you can browse online! (with links) for anyone that wants a good way to spend an afternoon :)

This episode has the most movingly hopeful Nuance Window, probably my favourite of all the You're Dead To Me episodes.
A pensive reflection by @moudhy.bsky.social on what we can take from the Epic of Gilgamesh for today's world and our societies challenges.
Writing about Sanction, The Agency, running For A Rainy Day, and the simple spotlight-passing pleasures of the morning routine.

🫘👹🪓DANCING DEMONS❤️💚🖤
One of Setsubun's (節分) liveliest festivals takes place at the small temple of Rozan-ji.
At 3pm three oni (one red, one green, one black) appear before the main hall. Clasping flaming torches and mean-looking weapons, they begin to dance!

Thank you to all who attended our Annual Mallowan Lecture.
And a very special thank you to the fantastic Dr @moudhy.bsky.social for delivering such an insightful and eye-opening lecture on Archaeology in Ancient Mesopotamia
You can now watch the lecture here: youtu.be/0dB-Pxs_lMA?...
I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).
I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.
