A ★★★★ review of The Devil's Bath (2024)

Shudder exclusives are either shit or THE shit, stereotypically speaking, and this probably one of the strongest ones to date. With a suffocating atmosphere rivalled by Egger's The Witch, this film de...

Why are we so invested in not hurting the feelings of fascists when they are so invested in killing minorities and people of colour????????

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

4th and final video this week and it's not as upbeat/positive as the others as I, yet again, rant about Generative AI. Apparently, we are now using it to run and play our TTRPGs. I don't have the answers, but I have a lot to say on the matter on YouTube.

In fairness, I have done the exact same thing for my video, but I have chosen a Mork Borgian experience that was actually designed to be a horror game 😘

People who disparage humanities and social sciences will come next for the science that they don't see as translating directly into making money.

They want a vapid and uncurious world. Don't give them an inch.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Forever GM here, and more so b). I am very much a "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" than going for a certain outcome, unless it's trying to encompass certain themes, subjects etc., but I feel that's more a given to running games

My ★★★★½ review of The Chaser on Letterboxd boxd.it/biE24f

A ★★★★½ review of The Chaser (2008)

It's a very weird feeling this hollow with an ending wrapped up so neatly and, dear I say, sweetly as this, but it's all hinged in the failings of what we consider to be (in)justice, safety for women ...

Been recently getting into Spider-Man again, partly due to Marvel's Multiverse RPG and it's made me really happy thus far. I decided to do a little unwrapping/boxing video to tell you why, sharing the Spidey-Feels, as well as tease an upcoming actual play idea 👀

I fucking hate this so much. I hate this so fucking much, but I can't continue to stay silent anymore while my integrity is continuing to be misconstrued and people keep getting hurt. This statement details my experiences while living with Noir Enigma (@/thenoirenigma) when I was homeless.

Beautiful typo aside, the latest V5 book, on premise, feels like such a weird scrapping of the barrel for content and a beautifully wasted opportunity to reintroduce a music-focused Bloodline that definitely didn't get distilled into "I'm a special snowflake".
renegadegamestudios.com/vampire-the-...

As Kindred society crumbles, many young licks turn to the mortal world for comfort and succor. Among the kine, the powers of the Blood grant them advantages in obtaining fame and fortune, if they can dodge the Second Inquisition, Sabbat, and Kindred aiming to quash every threat to the Masquerade. How far will you go to make a name for yourself? Seek out the limelight, get on stage, and make music that'll touch the souls of the living and the dead!

Live from the Succubus club helps you portray Kindred entertainers or nomads: aspiring rockstars or any other type of vampire chasing Fame or belonging among the kine. Travel between mortal cities and Kindred domains. Open your own Succubus Club or imitate it. Play with mortals, or use them to slake your Hunger. Make a name for yourself among the living and the dead!

Live from the Succubus Club also lets you go on the road with the Sound and Fury chronicle, with advice for creating aspiring stars, going on a European music tour with six major stops, and adding more gigs to the tour or moving stops or the entire tour to a new location.

Live from the Succubs Club is a sourcebook for Vampire: The Masquerade, a Storytelling Game of Personal and Political Horror.

Features

Create your own band, musician, nomad, or entertainer character as you balance stardom with the rules of the Masquerade.
A music-focused chronicle (6 scenarios). Tour in Berlin, Vienna, and Paris, and navigate through the challenges of the locals, rival domains, and more.
New celebrity vampires, Pale Sunrise, are the opposing band that’s your built-in rival. Will you come out on top?
11 new merits, 9 new flaws, and 7 new Discipline Powers.
Advice for using the Succubus Club, or an imitation, in any chronicle.
Details on Kindred power players in the Entertainment Industry, including the Voerman Sisters and Victor Temple.

It's simplicity is the biggest appeal to me honestly. All in favour of simple mechanics and narrative driven experiences over lots of bitty crunch

"Why don't you just move?!"

Do YOU have the means to start over elsewhere?

Do you have a passport?

Do you have the money to pay bills for a year?

Do you have housing and guaranteed employment??

No. OKAY. That's not what this is about so please for anyone spreading this rhetoric, STOP IT.
