Quintessential Curios #1, the first zine from @watchwellgames.com, is live! It was a ton of fun to work on this, and there's some great content by amazing people (also me). It's 40% off until Sunday, so get it while it's hot off the digital presses!

So hey, back in February I did an improvised horror scenario over on @symphonyhorror.bsky.social's Twitch channel.
It was a resounding success and we were all freaked out.

@miskatonicplayhouse.com is worth checking for actual plays of community written content for Call of Cthulhu - a large variety of scenarios that haven't been played elsewhere.

@lightlessbeacons.bsky.social does great long-form scenarios with high production quality.

Editing this 📖 was one of the more enjoyable experiences I've had in writing in the last few years. Just a cornucopia of interesting ideas: deluded, deranged, horrific, hopeless, grim, grand, puzzling and perverted.

Just published a supplement for Call of Cthulhu, which features my first ever short story in print (Ex Libris)! It was great collaborating with so many creative minds on this. If you want a collection of 60+ tomes of forbidden lore for your game, check it out!

😱 Sneak peek #5 😱 Why is the planet barren? What is this black mist? How does the small green dot hold back the mist? What will happen to the SS Odysseus crew? Oh writer @johnthehedge.bsky.social you fill us with many questions! Thankfully, The Quintessential Curios is coming soon. #ttrpg

Chaotic #ttrpg idea:

1) Everyone brings their chosen rulebook and character sheet to the table. Can be from any ttrpg.

2) GM describes some kind of meta/crossover event where everyone is thrust into yet another world with yet another set of rules that the GM is using.

3)????

Been pondering a dystopian sci-fi setting this morning:
The basics:
- Humanity never quite left earth, but our drones have been to other stars
- The Earth is a burnt-out ruin, still divided, war-torn and bleak
-Self-replicating factories on mars are engaged in a multi-century terraforming bid.

The degree of institutional incompetence required to believe something so stupid is, frankly, beyond anything satiricists could dream of.

Paracetamol causes autism now?

1) No it doesn’t
2) Get tae absolute fuck ya dafty
Trump will reportedly link Tylenol to autism - but many experts are sceptical
Some studies have suggested an association between the two, but experts say there is no causal relationship.
