Had a blast running a horror adventure using the Dread TTRPG system tonight for some of the Festival of Monsters folks. I hope we can add a bit more monstrous play/games to our future conferences!

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality.

I listen to a few actual plays, but this is my favorite. More of my friends need to listen so we can talk theories! (As fans and/or scholars!)

Saying goodbye to 2024 and feeling accomplished. This year I kept myself, a tiny human, and two cats alive on startling little sleep. Next year I look forward to getting back to: teaching, making, writing, cooking? sleeping?
