Well, it is that time once again! The viewers enjoy when I get scared and try to flee from my chair from the horror games I rarely play. So, let's kick off Chiller Thriller Theatre for October 2025! We got four games of terror lined up for your viewing pleasure.

Tune in for the fear! 8PM EST!

Embrace what makes you unique.

Following trends and matching with the crowd is fine, but never hide what makes you "you".

You will be a lot happy in the long run.

Streaming is fun, but it is always a treat when my daughters stop by to watch... and roast their dad.

Kicking off Chiller Thriller month with "No, I'm Not Human!". Should be a hoot so swing by, say hi and let's talk horror... or retro.

Back in the 70s and 80s, I was fuelled by large steel cans of sugar with a splash of juice.

These bad boys were always a bunch of fun.

Come for the retro and stay for the memories!

Live over on Twitch, living it up like a werewolf at midnight madness.

My wife was worried it was too early to put out Halloween decor.

It is never too early for Halloween decor!

Another RPG artifact I use to own was Chainmail. This was a book of early medieval miniature combat rules crated by Gygax and Perren. It contained an appendix for fantasy units. It was small, but was groundbreaking for what it established.

I always have my ideas come to me too late.

However, going forward, September will be D&D month on my Twitch stream. I had a lot of fun playing and talking about the good old days of RPGs these last few weeks.

Next month? Chiller Thriller theatre! Horror games and jump scares!

Tonight is the night I go diving back into the Pool of Radiance Remastered on Twitch at 8PM EST. As a warm up, I will take some time to run down Unearthed Arcana, a blatant money grab from TSR in 1985 that was more broken that playable.

Very much Dick Jones vibes: Who cares if it worked or not?"

I wouldn’t tell anyone if I won the lottery, but there would be signs.

Next Tuesday on Twitch, I am going to take some time to talk about one the craziest and cursed things to ever from out of the mind of Gary Gygax. Meant as a money grab, the trail of tears and errata it left it its wake are lost in the sands of time.

I still have my copy.

Had way too much fun trying to play Pool Of Radiance remastered last night on stream. There was some lessons learned and we will be back on this nonsense next week on Twitch.

I stopped into the Starlite dinner on my visit to Summerside, PE and it did not disappointed. Lots of great retro vibes with this place.

Polished off the Wolf Among Us on stream last night. I have to say, Chapter 5 really hits hard and good. Such a shame the sequel will never see the light of day.

Picked up some new art for the Geek Cave.

Needlework that reads “The horrors persist but so do I.”
