So I may try to get them out into the world as zones next year. But they probably need more play testing. Unknown Caller is all theory, and has had had no play testing at all - it requires people to commit to LARPing over a Zoom call, and potentially acting out their own gruesome deaths.

Admittedly, unless David Lynch fans come here and thrive here, I'm not going to see that sort of community here.
Maybe I need to be the change I want to see in the world.

And I feel like it's happening in some way across the fandom, if not to Gaiman himself, who has yet to realise quite how far he has fallen, how much we finally see him for what he is.

"Until now, you have all sustained fantasies in which you are the maltreated heroes of your own stories. Comforting daydreams in which, ultimately, you are shown to be in the right. No more. For all of you, the dream is over. I have taken it away."

But not so long and hard that he recognises that a relationship between himself and these women was inappropriate given the difference in age and power dynamic. For a person who's demonstrated how smart and emotionally aware he is in his writing, are we to believe he doesn't understand abuse?

It did occur to me that he was probably much older than Sean Pertwee, but it looks like there's only 10 years in it.

Just watching it now and you're absolutely right, although it took me a while to remember you'd mentioned this; just near the end as the British guy ordered someone to strap himself into his seat, the name Sean Pertwee! just bounced into my head.
