Six years since lockdown. Mask in pocket.

Post a great photo of a musician.

That Palantir CEO is Taika Waititi doing a bit, right? Right?

I've run a game at DMU.

(De Montfort University, when it hosted the Nationals.)

🤘Looking forward to it!

We started filming The Exorcist on Friday 13th because of course we did 😩

Wow. I can't remotely picture Matthew Modine in Top Gun. (But I can imagine him as Lestat in Interview With The Vampire.)

Jessie Buckley snaps between multiple characters and shows the chaos that causes, with Christian Bale as "Frank" as her straight man as they run amok in 1930s America.

Some choppy editing shows through just how many ideas are involved, but it looks great and sounds fun as well.

The Bride! (surprisingly only a 15 for language) written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal reimagines The Bride Of Frankenstein as Mary Shelley returning from Purgatory to run wild, possessing the Bride before and after her revival.

The RBS ten pound note already has otters on it. Just saying.

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

Or do we get the planned Tom Cody trilogy? What does this universe even look like?!

I can kind of see it, though the alternate history could be odd.

Game was postponed so made pasta and watched Streets Of Fire for the first time in about thirty-five years. It really is a glorious mess that could have worked with someone else in the male lead.

It's... so much.

New kettle. Higher spout angle so I have to avoid overshooting when filling a mug. Woe is me.

600, based on a book I got that had to be published in two parts as a result.

Jon says why you should grab it:

World War III: The twentieth century's most important war? From 1945 onwards, it was a war that never broke out that occupied the minds of millions of people around the world. During the Cold War era, World War Three remained an apocalyptic fantasy, but it was a fantasy with enormous impact, relevance, and resonance. Facing this ‘spectre of ever greater annihilation’ politicians, officials, military leaders, and 'boffins' all pored over its implications, planned for its outcomes, and wrestled with the morality of it all. The global public consumed ideas about a third major twentieth century conflagration through an untold number of novels, comics, films, plays, artworks, news media articles, and games. This talk will cover the imaginary of World War III more generally, and then focus on how analogue games approached this topic and what this can add to our understanding of the twentieth century.

Better Dead Than Red: RPGs and the invasion of America Since the founding of the United States 250 years ago, fears of subversion and invasion by foreign powers have waxed and waned, but have never gone away. The 1980s saw the emergence of RPGs and board games that explicitly dealt with this threat, either literally or metaphorically. What do we make of these games as historical objects and how do we analyse them within their historical context. This talk by Malcolm Craig will invite you to consider games like Freedom Fighters, Year of the Phoenix, and the infamous Price of Freedom, and think about what they tell us about the United States in the era of Ronald Reagan.

They're not up on the site yet, but I'll be giving 2 talks at @conpulsion.bsky.social in Edinburgh on April 11/12:

11th: 11.30-12.30: World War III: The 20th century's most important war?

12th: 15.30-16.30: Better Dead Than Red: RPGs & the invasion of America

Bleweski losing its CEO and a venture capitalist is taking over in the interim. Guess I should try to remember my Mastodon password.

Here's a draft manuscript of the Magic: The Gathering roleplaying game from 1996, and I've giving it away as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, with permission from the authors. Not sure how much to ask for. Vanishingly rare. $1,872 raised so far. #mtg #ttrpg

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Streets Of Fire is free with ads on YouTube. I repeat, Streets Of Fire is free with ads on YouTube.

Idly thinking again of a TTRPG like House Of The Dying Sun where you play the sinister agents of a fallen space empire, all black cloaks and blaming each other as you fight breakaway warlords while the good guys are off somewhere else.

My mum just updated me on the rugby and Big Cats 24/7 in much the same way.
