Hey there, new folks! 🌈 Welcome to the home of:

• The Little Oracles podcast: creative practice, process, theory, and thought + big book energy
• The Western Cantos poetry RPG cycle (incl. the solo fave Gentleman Bandit) and other lyrical, lexical RPGs: allisonarth.itch.io
• Mitchell the cat
Mitchell, a fluffy grey and white cat with a black nose, light green eyes, and a mask-like pattern on his face, sits on a record player, obscuring the album on display (Billy Joel's Storm Front). He is surrounded by art: paintings on the walls, photography, wooden and other sculptural objet. He is looking away from the camera, contemplative.

Last night's movie: THE LOVELESS (1981). The phrase "every frame a painting" definitely applies here.

Do you like Jane Austen? Or maybe you're a fan of Susanna Clarke's Piranesi? Are you into surrealist fantasy of manners, infinite houses and god like beings that deal in the arts? Boy, do I have the perfect ttrpg for you, may I present PALLAS!

It was great to chat with Jared Logan and Joe O'Brien on the @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social. We talk about game design, Deep Cuts, and crime fiction. Stick around to the end if you want to add a dozen movies to your watch list. :)

In the midst of everything, a Mitchell for your mental health
Mitchell the cat is a grey and white tuxedo cat with light green eyes and a mask-like pattern on his face. He is sitting on a patterned blanket, staring into the distance. Dappled light cascades across his face.
