Hospital Decides Cancer-Sniffing Leopard More Trouble Than It’s Worth

Noura looks on in concern as Ross's disproportional hand grows larger and larger

I'm not sure about this nightclub, guys.

Yet when I say, "D&D isn't that good for mystery adventures," or "D&D is a combat-focused game pretending it isn't," people get mad

Looking over costumes from Alien for color schemes for painting scifi minis. First Thought: I never noticed all the white pants. I never think of white pants. Second Thought: Lots of white shoes. I need to resist the urge to always paint them black. Third Thought: Holy shit, Lambert's boots!

"The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them."

Reading through the Singularity Traveller campaign. All-in-all it's 800 pages of wild scifi madness. I thought Secrets of the Ancients had a great, "Well that escalated quickly" moment, but that's nothing like this. Love the way it reads, but I still don't know how I could run it in under a decade.

Every species in the galaxy has that one guy

Seven Dials is a fantastic example of Netflix's (or streaming's in general) ability to cram a 90-minute movie into 3 55-minute episodes. Audio is perfectly mixed so every background sound drowns the often whispered dialog, ensuring no one can be understood. But at least its visually nice.

I suppose I should mention I'll be heading to Spain next year for Traveller's 50th anniversary.

Outpost at the Edge of Dark Space! A dystopian future through the lens of a 70s filmmaker obsessed with the 50s. Improv #callofcthulhu "11/10 amazing" "Epic!! One of my favorites 🔥" ft. @sskorkowsky.bsky.social, @nouralogical.bsky.social, Mary Lou, @cuppycup.bsky.social, @rossbryant.bsky.social

Digging through the photo archives and stumbled across this delightful gem. Back when that video aired, a few commentors were upset I'd depict Dweebles in a Dexter-style kill room. They felt it was a sudden and dark turn for the character, with no warning. They clearly hadn't been paying attention.

No matter how many times I've done it, no matter how long my list of credits & qualifications becomes, writing a bio for myself is difficult & weird. It's always, "Just share who you are, what you've done, & why people should be excited." And I'm like, "I dunno, man. I just stumbled into here."

Delta Green agent: "Hop on in, bitches. We're going to the opera! Fuckery awaits!"

GM: "So, what does your Victorian character look like?" PLAYER: "He's got grey hair, a nice suit, and a moon face." GM: "Moon face? As in round cheeks?" PLAYER: "Um... yeah, sure, maybe that, too." GM: "Too? What did you mean by moon face?"

And then there was that time 3 "expert" RPG players devised the dumbest, most over-complicated plan for a non-obstacle. youtu.be/Rmu-V9nI0Wc

"The characters in the book are always so much more in-depth, complex, and enjoyable than in the movie/show." Counterpoint: Klaes Ashford is roughly a billion-times better on the show in every possible way.

Nine years ago I set a cursed die on a table at a convention and walked away. 40 minutes later, it was gone – vanished into the mists of legend. I sometimes wonder what horrible fate befell whoever took it.

Here's a little moment from today.

Somewhere, buried in a closet or dusty warehouse like the Ark of the Covenant, the greatest summer apparel of all time waits in darkness for the world to finally be ready for it.

While I still love Firefly, I'm feeling numb about an animated revival. My dream sequel involved Wash and Zoë's adult kid (saying Zoë was pregnant when Wash died) and Mal and Inara's kid running Serenity, when kooky Aunt Kaylee fresh off her 3rd divorce has to move back in. Hijinks ensue.

$800 a seat and all you learn is just how to run D&D? That's like paying to attend a fancy driving school that teaches only how to drive a 2016 Toyota Camry. I've done 3-day writing workshops headed by Hugo and Nebula winners for less.

This was an amazing game. Ross is insanely good at improvisation and he blew it out of the park running us through this improvised space horror. It was a ton of fun.

Thread 1/6 The first half of the 20th Century introduced us to the wonders of radioactive technology. People rushed to embrace it. It was the future. In shoe stores you could x-ray your foot for a "perfect fitting shoe." While dosage levels were mostly minimal to customers, not for store employees.

I'm reluctantly good with this. Schwarzenegger is old enough now. However, Conan the Barbarian was more than Arnold. Basil Poledouris passed away and it needs a composer that can carry on that distinct sound. Mako is gone, and a new chronicler with a good voice is needed. Don't CGI it to shit.

I believe I might have gotten all my income/expense records over to my CPA in under 5 hours. This is a personal record. After years of tax nightmare gig-work, I've almost got my shit organized. Now on to Part 2, where I'm told I need to submit 20 more weird and impossible-to-find things.

I humbly present my headcanon

Yesterday I was talking about interviews with small channels/podcasts, and then this pops up. The Dungeon Plunger is a small channel that deserves more love. He & I had one of my favorite interviews ever (I confess my ADHD was flared to full glory, turning our "short" chat into 2 hours) Check it out

Doing an interview for a novice podcaster: Mics not working, webcams breaking, somewhere a leafblower. Embarrassed host apologizing, believing their inexperience is to blame. Doing an interview with a seasoned professional podcaster: All the exact same technical issues. Host shrugs & curses Crom

Call of Cthulhu campaign about a bunch of lonely people off the internet coming together to search for monsters and finding themselves –just before the swirling vortex of madness consumes them all.

"You’re going to hear people say that they won, and we lost because we said this wasn't a 5.5e, but your voices calling it that forced us to admit it's actually 5.5e. Those people will only be half right. They won—and so did we." www.enworld.org/threads/d-d-...

It wasn’t always bad times.

While it tarnished the "kid-friendly" aspect of the film, the original Star Wars where C-3P0 chain-smoked the entire time was far better. Then George Lucas edited out all the cigarettes, claiming it was because, "It made no sense why droids would smoke." But we know the real reason.

YouTube remembered I find classic cars fascinating and has been showing me a great selection of vids of early electric and steam cars. It's all, "So you can watch geek rage bait, political rage bait, AI slop, or this sweet fuckin' steam car from 1925." www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUg_...

Modern D6 are boring. These 17th & 18th Century dice made Game Night with grandma far more exciting, were educational, and carried only a slight potential of being cursed, before Big Cube came in and ruined everything.

My very first D&D character started out with an Oil of Acid Resistance. I carried it for years, waiting for that perfect opportunity. We visited Hommlet, learned the secret of Bone Hill, traversed the planes, shopped the Bazaar on Deeva, dined with Asmodeus, killed Lolth, and I never ever used it.

I was about to step into the office to do some work (code for screw off online while thinking about work). My wife put on the old Highlander TV show. Ep1 has Richard Moll and Christopher Lambert (the REAL Highlander). It's spectacularly terrible. I can't stop watching.

While a minority opinion, the biggest mistake D&D made was removing Equipment Saving Throws. Once, losing your Save vs a Fireball, acid, or whatever meant all your equipment was at risk. Swords, armor, left boots, etc.– your precious items could be lost. Thinking of items as losable created tension.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Anyone else still wonder what the rest of the singing telegram was?
