Te Whanganui-a-Tara based Theatre creator, writer, board game dabbler. Still a work in progress. Definitely human.

If anyone has a room going or is in need of a flatmate in early August (in Wellington), let me know!

Wellycon was truly an amazing time. Picked up 4!!! new board games, played multiple prototypes (all of which were awesome) and got lots of feedback on my own as well. I miss it already and can't wait for next year!

Watching a talk on writing for RPGs, a talk on psychology and tttrpgs, and aging Arkus games latest: Storm Raiders (with a chance to win it as a spot prize!)
At Wellycon all weekend! Starting this morning with Blood on the Clocktower. Very excited to be playing once again with strangers. I've also brought along my prototype board game! Come find me and let's play some board games together!

NOES7/New Nightmare: very self-referential. Feels like a mix of Scream sequel and weirdly the babadook? Definitely for you if you like self-referential films/humour.
And that's it! 13 hours later and it's definitely time for bed
NOES6: Absolutely bonkers. Made in 1991 but set in 2001, "all of the children in springwood are dead... except one"
24.05.2025 18:57 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0NOES5: We fell asleep. Back awake and ready for 6 now though...
24.05.2025 17:25 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0NOES4: The goodies one so far by a long shot and it's not even close. We're fully devoid of any characters from the first film at this point. I can't tell how much of this is the movie being delirious or me. Jack informs me that Freddy began appearing on MTV at around the time this film came out
24.05.2025 15:31 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0NOES3: This one was way more religious than I was expecting. Special effects were incredibly impressive for 1987. A return (mostly) to the base premise of the first film and feels like much more a direct sequel than 2 was
24.05.2025 13:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0NOES2: Freddy's Revenge. Still campy horror fun, but not nearly as well put together as the first. Feels like it breaks from the core premise for something more cliche
24.05.2025 11:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Roxy nightmare on elm Street marathon. Starting with the OG, just as good as I remember it. Although more alcoholism and home alone-esque shenanigans than I recalled
