89) Men (2022)
A rewatch. Made @doctorteeth.bsky.social watch this for Date Night. Perhaps not the best movie for a date night movie, but hey, I am who I am.

It's my second (of many) entries for #hauntalong this year and I'm surfacing one of my favorites of the Universal Monster movies for the morning crowd!

Today I present you:

Midnight’s allergies are in HELL MODE, but I’m wiped clean post-bills and an invoice is stuck between PayPal and the bank.

This would cover her steroid shot and general check up. Anything helps 🖤

Approaching week 3 of medical leave and no word from the company yet.

Aubrey Vakarian is thinking about vampires 🦇🩸 @aubreyvakarian.bsky.social · 19d

So, on Tuesday I was diagnosed with Lumbar and Thoracic Spondylosis. So I am doing six weeks of physical therapy to help. This also means I am taking medical leave from my job.

I set up a ko-fi goal to help bridge the gap while I fight for short term disability.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Family trauma and sibling bonds are themes I’ve actively explored in my upcoming game Bestow, for example:

FAMILY SECRET: How do you know that your Elder was involved in occult rituals? How did you protect the other Siblings from this knowledge? (When marked, this becomes a Clue)

FAMILY LEGACY
Mark the next unmarked box:

Dream. Narrate a flashback to a time you witnessed something unsettling as a child, but no one believed you.
Awakening. Recall the time you first realized an adult was keeping the truth from you. The next time you act to shield another Sibling from an unwelcome truth, roll with advantage.
Unraveling. Narrate a scene showing how you tried to shirk the responsibility thrust upon you, but found yourself caving in the end.
Revelation. Narrate a scene showing how you have fully embraced the path of completing the work your Elder started. Describe how you attempt to redeem, and ultimately sacrifice yourself in service of the family legacy, then retire this character.

Continuing this year’s #hauntalong, I’m recommending Bring Her Back (2025).

To celebrate, take a look at this beautiful cover designed by

Anyways, subscribe to RPG Zine Club... plusoneexp.com/pages/rpg-zi...

Cover of Ritual Deck TTRPG, written by J Evan Parks. Features a papercut figure of a Ritual Deck duelist and a mirrored linocut figure of their Shadow reaching out to each other -- separated by a card. The Background is a spiral of two images, a classroom and textured old paper, covered in a rainbow film like oil.

Looking for playtesters for an upcoming sci-fi horror game kind of like shadowdark meets ten candles meets mothership.

If you want to test it with your group, send me a DM on Bluesky and I’ll send you a free copy.

What happens when the Horseman of Death finds themself trapped in a human body in 1870s El Paso? Desdemona Grimm: A peculiar woman with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about corpses. Art by @littleevil0ne.bsky.social for The Between game hosted by @carrion-comfort.com

Pinup art of a pale woman dressed all in black with a crisp white apron. She has tiny dark sunglasses and white hair. Her face is sunburned. She wears black gloves. She is sitting on a headstone with the name GRIMM carved in it. The background is a desert at night illuminated by a blood red moon.
