With Babylon 5 it's Severed Dreams. I haven't met a single person who I introduced to B5 via Severed Dreams that didn't go on to watch the entire show from The Gathering til the end, warts and all.

I still haven't put my thoughts together on Sinners properly, but one thing that shone while watching & stuck with me immediately after was what made the vampires attractive. Unity, togetherness and freedom, of a sort. Remmick isn't lying when he says they believe in equality and abhor prejudice.

I actually have told people, historically, not to start at season 1, episode 1 with DS9. My advice has always been to start with The Way Of The Warrior season 4 opener, as someone's intro to DS9. Why? Because it absolutely fucking grips people and makes them want to see what led up to it.

Even during the Christmas holidays, it seems I'm never far away from DWP fuckery.

there we are having a nice civilized hundred years war, just how everyone likes it, and then the french decide to rock up with bloody joan of arc, you can't just bring a living saint to the battlefield, it's not sporting, wafting miracles everywhere like its going out of fashion, it was outrageous

More tomorrow, but I finally managed to watch Sinners. Holy fuck. Holy *fuck*.

I love how causal they are about the human remains, too. Someone showed up in a subreddit with a HUMAN JAWBONE, and replies were all "Hm, black from magnesium deposition, child-sized but molar loss with socket reabsorption and no fillings. Probably 1800s. Make sure to report it. Nice one."

RETVRN

This 100% seems like it should be a Viz euphemism for an embarrassing sex act.

"All my apes gone" is four years old today. It somehow feels as if it was both a decade ago and just yesterday. The curse of aging while terminally online.

Awkwardly chatted about pens with Tim Booth from James. I did not care about pens. He, surprisingly, did.

people do not discuss the raven tower enough, one of the greatest books

Ok, fam who are slightly older than me, I need your help to distract my Dad. So, suggestions for a "laugh out loud, laugh a minute comedy, with no effing and jeffing" suitable for a 75 year old man who gets bored very fast. Anything from the last 60 years is fine, so long as it fits that criteria.

So, I'm still slowly hacking together Star Wars: OUTGUNNED for pulp fringe adventures, @fenrisgames.com is doing a Rebel campaign with a Twilight 2K hack and @jonmarkhicks.bsky.social wouldn't dream of anything but WEG SW 1e, but if you were to run a Star Wars game today, what system would YOU use?

Just had "that's not two years, it's 23 months!" yelled at me, in case you were wondering how Very Normal the family were being. 🫠

Discussion of mums and Godzilla always reminds me of this

I absolutely adore Milly's art. Chimney is what initially made me stop and look twice, but it's Presmoira and her super expressive pouts that have my whole heart.

Unironically my Mum this week, with a kitten and a baby. Even if you could get past the uncanny valley child face and the weird warping background, one only needed to stop for just one moment and think, "hang on, that's a 6 week old kitten the size of a six month old child."

Happy Solstice!! 🌙✨🐇

When we had the big "what would YOU use to run an Intrepid Investigators Vs Cosmic Horror" thread a couple of weeks back one thing I didn't bring up, and it's absolutely my bad, is that DARKENED HILL & DALE is an absolutely *vital* addition, no matter what system you end up choosing. It's SO good.

If you’re a small artist (below 1k) feel free to to promote your art down below and link your carrds!! #smallartistsupport #artshare #artists #art

An excellent thread, in which Scott shares his wisdom and experience around solo RPGs, where each point could honestly be expanded out to a whole discussion, and how the themes, tones and tricks can even go beyond expectations. He's a gem. 💜

It me. Look, I can't be posting thoughts about roleplaying games, systems and ideas 24/7. So I tend to post around the things that I enjoy, my #ttrpg friends enjoy, and stuff that's hopefully going to brighten your day. Plus some shitposting and emo stuff. I'm human, sue me. 💜

Look at this cat! Look at that mlem. Now look at your cat. If, like me, you do not have a cat, the internet will provide one for you to love. Now, procede to love and enjoy your cat.

Yeah, I'm *always* conscious of tourism, and I try to have a chat with players about their choice and what they're hoping to see or experience by making those choices. Particularly with folk opting to play a minority character, while being openly white, able and cishet.

Interaction is the key word here, and it goes both ways. It is SO vital to actually comment, chat and have positive interactions with other people, and it's really easy to here on Bluesky! Just hitting like and repost isn't enough. Talk to folk! We actually love to chat and make friends!

Never seen a better metaphor for AI

#SelfPromoSaturday update: - Spruced up the KS follow page with art. Any thoughts on what is missing are appreciated. - Test prints completed, got the main zine done, and started working on the political splatbook and larp rules! - Lined up some podcast type stuff. Eeep. Follow the KS below!

I will not buy your AI book I will not give its text a look I will not share your AI art I will not share even a part I will not play your AI game I will not play it, feel some shame! Use your soul and heart and head And make us things to love, instead (With apologies to Dr. Seuss).

I'm sorry to all my Cameron's Avatar-enjoying friends and mutuals, but Todd is on the money here. You can still enjoy it, and it's ok to enjoy schlock, but earth-shaking cinema it is not. (Todd is still wrong about Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo, though, and I will die on this hill!)

『魔法使いのデイジー』2　（左から右に読んでください）

"Christopher Biggins Calls for the Death Penalty" is the sort of thing you saw in 1980s stories in 2000ad.

Make a Bond movie academic? FROM RUSSIA WITH ANNOTATIONS

Has anyone done: "Motherfuckers, you bow to no-one" yet? I've not been keeping up.

Make a Bond movie casual? The Spy Who Emailed Me . (Thank you for realising there was no need for a meeting, Mr Bond.)

Well, that has to be The Betrayer. Without her cataclysmic, desperate choice the setting wouldn't even exist. 💔

Funny, how a photo of a Christmas Dinner plate from 16 years ago can evoke such wretched feelings even though the meal, while eaten alone, was lovely. It's a strange place to begin the journey that would see me spend the next Christmas Day on a mental health ward, but every story starts somewhere.

Thoroughly enjoying these gifts of "fantastic new artist to follow" this Crimmus. Beautiful. I'm feasting well today.

Another chrismes gift this time for the bebe @inoaart.bsky.social 💕 #dndart

"Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair. If ever I were to fuck someone, it would have been her. It would have been her"

i know if we put a sad muscular woman in a silk shirt and had her fight people with a sword 22 episodes a year we could heal this world

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas day. 💜

Bluesky has been it's own thing for like 3 years now, how do you even impart to twitter quitters that this site has had its own memes and injokes and culture for ages now and didn't just suddenly pop up a few months ago and then die the moment you left hahah
