To anyone that remembers this post, my mom has agreed to this! If I can get a stream successfully set-up and functioning this week we'll be streaming next Wednesday!

Also planning: Saturday Stardew 🌿 and Google Maps plein air drawing on Mondays 🧑‍🎨

You can follow now 😘: www.twitch.tv/cesiousblue
Would you guys watch me and my 75 year old politically incurious mom stream Disco Elysium? Would that be interesting?

Four more days of funding! ⏳

If you like:
- struggling against the patriarchy of 1815's Bavaria
- grieving your beautiful friend's disappearance
- chambermaids
- slacking on your job to investigate an occult mystery

Then check out The Girls of the Genziana Hotel: gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Sword Opera has this explicitly in The Disaster playbook. Failsons, messy paramores, and tragic artists all can be Disasters.

We also have the Savant, which is the mayhem version of the Disaster. Hubris? Couldn't be me.
Every ttrpg is required to have a 'freak' class. Like one that objectively stands out as "What the fuck is wrong with you" compared to the others

OK #ttrpg Peeps! The challenge is to get game zines ready for #ZineQuest / #ZiMo in Feb and pledge to put some/all profits raised into the Game Workers Union fighting funds. Who's up for it?
I've not done a ZineQuest yet, but I'd be down for a putting a zine-sized game together for this!

Jourdan is a great Dracula in the only truly faithful Dracula film to date. I just wish it wasn't so dull!

It's so strange that we've had so many excellent Sherlock Holmes adaptations, but there's not a single Dracula film I can unreservedly recommend.
Louis Jourdan is the guest panelist on the What’s My Line ep I am watching, so I guess this is my cue to beat my little “best Dracula” drum

In 1921, acclaimed author Robert E. Sherwood declared that a film he reviewed was the world's worst movie. Cinematographer Byron Haskin said it was the most awful thing Hollywood ever made.

It made Avengers: Endgame money.

This is that movie.

We all love the Hot Town underworld from Sword Opera: it's 1970s New Orleans with cool assassinry and a family of car wizards, all with a disco twist.

But where are the vampires?

Same, but because I live in Wisconsin I get to enjoy my favorite costumes:
- Spiderman (in a coat)
- Cold Ninja Turtle
- Actually frozen Elsa
excited for tonight, because I love seeing the halloween costumes. I love whatever big anime thing is hot with the teens that I never recognize except "I think that's anime". I love seeing which superhero is winning the popularity contest that year. I love seeing tiny babies in pumpkin costumes

Restating my opinion that 99% of Protest Discourse is because people don't know there are two broadly different kinds of protest (rallies and direct action) and they have different requirements to be effective (and "don't be cringe" is not a requirement for either, actually)
