An action packed finale for the vampire lovers out there!

Every episode is less than an hour (shortest being 30 mins) and there's only 4, so it's fast to catch up if you're not ready for the finish yet!!

This Thursday marks one year since my life was irrevocably changed. It marks one year since my brother was murdered. I’m currently trying to get enough money together for the upcoming trial but with the holidays and everything else I could use some help. Thank you so much 💜

Celebrating BitS finale by trying Bonchon for the first time. The nice employees were so concerned about me starting with the spicy wings, not knowing I'm a spice machine

This flavor is so perfect for me i moaned after the first bite

I realize now that the Prologue, released on Halloween, was set during the Fall, and the final Act released the first week of it snowing where I live even though it typically doesn't snow much here

Very happy coincidence, it's like the universe wanted it to feel more immersive for me

The Final Act of Blood in the Snow is out! I'm super proud of how this final episode turned out and so thankful for this cast that has been so encouraging, enthusiastic, and so easy to work with

Enjoy the finale and figure out if Sanguis Populi have what it takes to challenge the Great Beyond...

Oleander has been knocking it out of the park with Blood in the Snow. I’m incredibly proud and honored to have been apart of it and watch this series come to life. By the time we wake next, Sanguis Populi will enter their final act.
The final episode of Blood in the Snow drops tomorrow, just under an hour for its runtime, and crossing the finish line on the edit was SO satisfying 😌 I'm very proud of it

Movie you've watched more than six times. Hard mode: No Star Wars/Trek, LOTR, or Marvel

I have so many movies I could do this with, but this is the most watched of the decade for me

writing out a TTRPG wrapped is hard bc i don't wanna have 1000 posts on the thread

My least favorite way to run an action scene in ttrpg is the following scenario:

- The whole 4-6 player party
- 1 big bad guy with a stacked stat block
- One objective: Last team standing

I still gotta run it sometimes, but that's so few things to engage with for so many players

Taking a year long break from doing horror stuff made me so excited to get back to horror, starting with the editing process of Blood in the Snow. I feel like I've improved so much as a storyteller by taking a year away from my beloved creature features and mystery-thrillers, out of my comfort zone

World building isn't just lore, it's atmosphere! The people who painted the blaster marks on the walls of the Mos Eisley Cantina did just as much world building as anyone working on the script to a Star Wars project featuring it. They conveyed the dangerous history without exposition packed dialogue

The final episode of Blood in the Snow is gonna be the longest! After that, I can start working on another odd tale that's been weighing on my heart more and more these last few years...

Remember to be kind to the youth who've only known algorithms when they don't know a movie or tv show or musical artist from the past

"I knew musicians that never released albums during my lifetime when I was a kid"

MTV played Michael Jackson MVs all August when u were a kid. They dont have that.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

The thing i enjoy about @gilarpgs.bsky.social Lumen Systems Approaches (both in 1.0 and the diceless 2.0) is framing problems through how you behave rather than how strong/fast/smart you are. You can be a skinny tech nerd and still choose to be bold/reckless in your actions and that's versatile!
