Screenshot of an app offering a random name for a tiefling character. It has suggested "Tenerife".

Ah yes, what a perfect name for the young tiefling woman I've included in this one-shot.

a sailor moon cartoon character is pointing at a red disk Alt: Usagi from Sailor Moon talking and waving a floppy disk.

I'm in.

The bottom of the rankings, listing Alistair, Loghain, Justice, Nathaniel, Sigrun, Anders, Carver, Solas, and Cullen in joint 36th place.

And down at the bottom, we have these dickheads. (Apologies to Sigrun. I haven't played Awakening, so she just fell out of the rankings.)

Wholly unsurprising. Even reflects me being unable to choose between Neve and Bellara.

My partner loves Teapigs and usually goes for their honeybush and rooibos when she wants something caffeine-free, but they've got various others too.

Panels from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen showing Emma Night snapping Jimmy Bond's neck while looking directly at the reader.

Quite obviously the answer is to adapt Alan Moore's Jimmy Bond.

Cover of Neuromancer by William Gibson. A guy in the foreground wearing shades. A jumble of stuff in the background. All in shades of blue.

The version I have is very "high school science textbook".

We need to do everything we can to ensure translation isn't ceded to LLM nonsense.

Because a machine isn't going to produce something as wonderful as "Why don't you piss a puddle on the ground and take a good look at your own reflection?"

October's book stack! Featuring 3 whole books that aren't comics, as well as some seasonally appropriate stuff 👻🧛‍♀️

A Fête Worse Than Death by Useless Alchemist A comedy horror game of mundane British events being upset by strange horrors.

I made a game! It's a comedy/horror tabletop RPG with three whole pages of "rules".

In it, you play through mundane events (fetes, car boot sales, flower shows, etc) getting interrupted by supernatural horrors. Or possibly just Tories.

A bright colourful pattern on a black background, featuring stars, triangles and, ribbons.

The straw looking like a staff is making me imagine this as the outfit of an esoteric wizard. Somehow with a pointy bucket hat.

And your magic would look like bowling alley carpet.

A copy of Unbelievable Gwenpool #25. Cover art by Jen Bartel showing 3 different versions of Gwen: her usual costume, her casual outfit, and her "evil" version. Casual Gwen is tearing up a photo of Gwen Stacy and saying "I'm not that Gwen".

I tried to resist the pedantry, but you were underselling how important the fan is in the issue 😅

It's one of the few single issues I've bought in recent years, as I wanted the Jen Bartel cover.

Comic panels where Gwen frees her brother while talking about how superheroes could be beating up the devil all the time. Doreen is shocked by this.

*Last issue (it came out in February). It's only that bit of the issue that takes place on Halloween. She later saves her fan from bullies with the help of Fin Fang Foom. And then [spoilers].

She also gives Squirrel Girl an existential crisis while fighting Mephisto.

Thanks for the review! Glad you liked it 😊

A Fête Worse Than Death: Great British Shoggoth A Fête Worse Than Death is a rules-lite TTRPG that drops a horde of monsters into the classic British fête.

A Fête Worse Than Death by @bruitist.bsky.social drops players into a classic British fête that has been overrun by all manner of weird and wacky horrors, leading to a super fun rules-lite #ttrpg.

Just some who've been on my mind lately. (Cindy is always on my mind.)

Screenshot of recent referral links from my itch.io dashboard. Notably, two of them show someone found it by searching "ass expansion" and "ass slappimg game".

When you make a silly RPG called "ASS", it leads to some interesting referrers on Itch ...

Gringe? Gringe??

I swear I can type.

My theory is still that after gringe happened, you had two career options as a virtuoso guitarist in the '90s:

a) Move to Japan

b) Compose theme tunes for kids' TV

Gutted (and also quite surprised) that I couldn't find a picture of Abigail Thorn in a crown.

An illustration of a black bat like creature with multiple eyes, arms and legs and torn wings perched on a skull. It's pulling an eyeball out of the skull's eye socket. In bright green text it reads: would rather die than use AI

I got mad about generative AI and channeled it into art. Only losers use AI art.

If you're down for something silly. I made one that I just put up on Itch.

Seems appropriate to be releasing this when everyone is talking about "cosy" games. A game where the point is the mundane and dreary setting (where everything is *nice*) makes the horror absurd.
