New RPG Review is up.
Today we're venturing to Honduras to explore a lost city, visit an alien world, shoot a god in the face, and maybe even get home, in the Call of Cthulhu adventure Doorway of the Gods.

The first time I watched it I was following along and thinking of the whole Devil Baby thing.
Second time I was fascinated watching all the clues about what's really happening & all the little details I'd missed.
Third viewing I was angry the whole time at how much everyone is lying to poor Rosemary

Rewatched Rosemary's Baby (1968). Great movie.
The real horror element isn't the cult and devil. It's watching everyone gaslight Rosemary and tell her everything is normal and that she's overreacting and how everyone she trusts is lying to her. That's the most upsetting part, by far.

If I'm ever asked to be a presenter at the ENNIEs or Origins or the like, I will absolutely have to have this jacket.

I also have a whole belief that Crown Royal should be awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for all those years of making sweet dice bags, but that's a soapbox for another day.

I consider it really good, but I'm not a boardgamer and shouldn't be trusted to know what I'm talking about

They've been my go-to game shop since 99 or 2000.

Went to my FLGS @genxcomicsgames.bsky.social today.
As usual, they have the best RPG selection in Dallas/Fort Worth (even carrying Traveller now).
If you're in the DFW area, you should check them out.

Holy crap! That's a whole lot of listening to me mispronounce basic words.

Nope. It's totally an extradimensional portal

When we did our big remodel a couple years ago and re-did all the floors and ceilings on that side of the house I decided to install a rail. I'd been using the curtain rod above the sliding door on the opposite wall (behind Todd). Best idea ever and I wish I'd done it sooner.

That's not a backdrop. It's a big window

Curtains? That's a straight-up portal

Jack got a little recording in today.
Here are some completely unaltered photos from today's work.

Forget the levitating cyberpunk goths? Never.

Truth

The most impressive thing about the trope 'Helicopters, No Matter How Close, Make No Noise Until They Appear On Screen' is that the entire production team is perfectly aware how fucking loud helicopters are.
But in movies, totally silent until they pop up from behind a tree or swing into frame.

Kult made me a better GM and my players better players. Amazing game if you all have trust.

Same. I own the regular slipcase. I own the leatherette Keepers Guide.
But.... I still wants the new pretty thing

While definitely not for me, I hope 5e D&D Traveller curb-stomps Exodus into the ground

Nothing fuels nerd rage boners quite like a minor edition update.

All of those vegetarian, yoga-posing, D&D-playing, LotR fans are gonna burn in hell, I tells ya!

100% There's a lot of forums and videos where all I want to say is, "Dude, you're the one who came here. The topic isn't a secret. Why are you even here if this isn't your jam?"

We think of the TTRPG space as a hobby, but it's really a collection of related hobbies.
Some love playing. Others collecting. Others watching. Some prefer theory.
For some it's hating. The number of people whose sole focus is hating on a game or edition they don't play is incredible. Joy vampires

All you need is the Keeper Guide. That's it.
The Investigator Handbook has a lot of handy stuff like alternate character creation methods and neat equipment, but isn't actually necessary.
