A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable. Green: Would you still love me if I never got better? Blue hesitates a moment before answering. Blue: What a silly thing to ask. Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore. Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.

currently, I'll be honest, I'm not sure how to market these but they were so brilliant I had to add them to the catalogue

"Nostalgia is a warping gravity" working hard to be the sentence of the decade, there
hookland.bsky.social hookland.bsky.social @hookland.bsky.social · 11d
Just for any academics, let me be clear, Hookland is anti-nostalgic. It's an exploration and exorcism of my childhood, not a celebration of falsely remembered sunshine. Nostalgia is a warping gravity.

Behold! The massive RPG Moral Panic video I've been researching and assembling for years, and why people who call the whole affair the Satanic Panic are wrong.
I'm so damned happy to finally have this beast out of my system.

Many adventures from one RPG system can easily be ported into other RPGs.
Some are more effective than others.
Fake Traveller RPG adventure cover. Art is from a 1980s Choose Your Own Adventure, featuring a Dracula one a spaceship cowering in pain as a crewman opens the window shutters to a blazing sun. Adventure Title reads: "Fuck off, Space Strahd!"

set of ten metal cultists and townsfolk from Innsmouth - with definite batrachian or fishlike features and plenty of Uncanny Valley about them. Some are carrying tools, torches, and lanterns. Some are just vaguely threatening. And one has a head like a blobfish!

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

Daily bunny no.3124 offers you a balloon
A bunny on a gray, rainy day looks down a storm drain, where a clown bunny with a red nose and ears looks out at him from below. It is a bunny Pennywise, from the Stephen King novel, and it offers the other bunny a red balloon through the grate on the drain
