Reading Tim Curry's memoir, Vagabond, and during the chapter about how The Rocky Horror Show came about, he mentions that the show's publicist used to bring her six year old son to watch rehersals, her son being Alexander Siddig. Dr. Bashir witnessed the birth of Dr. Frank-N-Furter!

This week in "research I wanted to do during Season 10 but never got around to":

When were disposable diapers brought to market in Japan? When did they get popular? How did people diaper their babies before then? And how is all that relevant to Victory Gundam???

Sometimes a line a friend said during a game is so good it won't stop rattling around in your brain.

One way to handle this is to put said line on a sticker and/or a throw pillow.

The Power Fantasy (2024-)
The intro to Game & Wario shows a world map on Wario's wall. While roughly corresponding to the map of our world, it shows some differences in the shapes of the landmasses. Most concerningly, it appears that in Wario's world, Europe does not exist.

Fantastic news and an incredibly huge deal. Play Swords Without Master and watch any biases you have about what a fantasy rpg should look like get swept away. Also just a straight up wonderful game 💖
Reblusking this one because, well, here's the deal. Swords Without Master has been in issue 3 of Worlds Without Master for ~10,000 years.

And it's time.

It's just time for it to leave the nest. Time for it to find its own way in the world.

So we're gearing up for a new, stand-alone edition.
Psst. Do you do that #ttrpg streaming thing? Would you be interest in streaming some Swords Without Master? Perhaps with the creator?

Cause I know him. And I can hook that up.

If you were interested, that is.

I still firmly believe that Swords Without Master is the most well suited TTRPG system for Twitch Streaming APs.

There's even bonus rules for the audience to play along at home!

Literally tell no one about this, but...

Gird your loins, for the season of the Swords is almost upon us.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.
