Just finished this for the first time, and it's absolutely amazing stuff.

Does "Phantom of Truth" refer to a spooky monster, like "Phantom of the Opera?" Or is the phrase more similar to "the myth of the given" and "the illusion of depth?" youtu.be/SwXAVSdMjSA?...

This happened a while ago, but we're getting ready to (try to) sell more copies of this game...! youtu.be/7BDdKOQNx-0?...

youtu.be/hvSg_Q-6Zck?... Have you ever started to read the 1895 anthology, enjoyed the first few tales, and then become baffled at their successors, which don't even mention the stage play? Have you ever wondered what's going on with that? Well, fear not!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays youtu.be/zpyOMosVwOc?...

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

This Saturday, December 20th, you can hear me read a little bit of weird fiction that I wrote, or at least tried to write. It's a special holiday Saturday Evening Short Story Reading, or something! discord.gg/EHvAw5XN

I included a chunk of my fiction in our game's book, in the section called "Other Yellow Ironies." I was very much inspired by Ligotti's "Gothic Tales" as well as the Carcosa mythos. Here are a couple!

I received my copy of @nilhemothgames.bsky.social and @phdnd.bsky.social's #ttrpg "5 Acts: The King in Yellow," and I can't wait to really dive in! Just had a quick skim and I'm already loving the art and all the little GM bits of world building and story hooks. Have YOU found The Yellow Sign?
