Queens of the Dead is a campy queer zombie delight, that gets bonus points for casting Dominique Jackson from Pose (something every movie and show should be doing). Also, made a nice tonic after a bunch of holiday movies and awards screeners.

If you've never seen it... This is a really fun creature feature with one of cinema's gnarliest wet puppets, starring Robocop. It's got shades of Alien, The Abyss, and The Thing all over it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ug...

This org is doing really good work in a battered industry Did you know they offer training for crew to find ways to monetize their highly specialized skills in other industries? Not to replace a career but to support entertainmentcommunity.org

If you picked up the Volume 2 Preview Pack before it went on sale, this here is the sketch art for the adversaries in it.

Leon, as per usual, out here dropping bangers before 9am.

Oh hey. The inciting incident to Leviathan. united24media.com/latest-news/...

Who else has questions about the person who hides Delicious Wall Chicken and Pot Roasts in Dracula's walls?

Still one of the greatest vampire movies (AND one of the best movies about making movies) that I am perpetually surprised no one has seen to heard of.

In Tabletop Roleplaying Games the idea of royalties is still relatively new; more of us at the publishing level need to be thinking about ways to undermine the existing paradigm and build to sustain our comrades and collaborators in the long term and give them the fruits of their own labor

My wife had a single line in Kung Fu Panda 17 years ago and still gets checks every few months. Most are way smaller than this, but devs get $0 even though the games we work on will likely be sold for 10+ years soooo yeah.

It all gives big "Idiots are People Two" protest energy from 30 Rock.

✨NEW YEAR’S DAY✨ Kick off the New Year with a brand new episode of SNP as Julian & Giraffe sit down with writer and game designer @carloscisco.bsky.social for a conversation spanning Star Trek and tabletop RPGs. Premiering LIVE on YouTube and wherever you find your podcasts New Year’s Day morning!

What sucks is that writers rooms are trying to please those types of critics without realizing if it’s in good faith or not.

Howdy folks! Maybe you received Daggerheart for Christmas and are thinking about running Colossus of the Drylands for your first campaign. May I introduce you to our lord and savior, Pistolheart? (On sale until January 5th w/ vol2 due out late Q1!) itch.io/e/36071224/c...

We made it to $2,000,000! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Okay but when do we get this actual show with Laganja Estranja hosting? The subtitler of this episode was 100% stones out of their gourd.

It still astounds be every time I hear a screenwriter say something to this effect when the stats have remained largely unchanged and in favor of straight, white males my entire career.

I'm really happy that I'm going into the end of the year without burnout. In fact, it's the opposite. I'm so freaking excited about the games I'm working on for next year.

MCDM makes enough money to pay: * Good salaries for 11 full time employees * $0.35/word for freelance writers, AFAIK the industry best * Good rates for freelance art, layout, editing, sensitivity, etc. * 5 contract testers + 1 contract community lead, monthly That seems pretty successful to me.

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

Hey! It’s been pretty cool working on games that consistently make the best of the year lists! I’d like to keep doing that (hire me to write for your game).

Really really cool seeing work from @bism-th.bsky.social @carloscisco.bsky.social and @scooterbeast.bsky.social on the MCDM Patreon today! Merry Christmas to ME

From "Tokyo Godfathers" stage play (2020)

"Curiosity has never been a problem for me, but confidence has." This is a really encouraging and I'm glad to see other writers finding their skills are widely useful outside of this industry. It's healthy for our own stories for us to try other things, but it doesn't mean we're going anywhere.

Would anyone be interested in simple typography commissions so I can pay for all the almond milk I have to drink?

Heated Rivalry (2025)

Ecco the dolphin art being used to sell Armenian Brandy is a surreal sight for this millennial.

Maybe one of the funnier features I've written for an environment. Coming to the Campfire (Tier 1 Social), due out in Pistolheart Volume 3. #Daggerheart #WiP

Reminder to those who may have missed it! Sale lasts until January 5th! Volume 2 is in the oven and Volume 3 is in development!

Your annual reminder that Satoshi Kon’s Tokyo Godfathers, a near as dammit perfect seasonal movie (with great queer/trans rep), is free to stream on Tubi: tubitv.com/movies/10001...

There’s something special about a pitch that lands on someone so hard that before you even finish they’re able to pitch the idea back to you.

As a Mexican creator, I write monsters that reflect the horrors of dehumanization It's telling when others, claiming to be inspired by Ghibli, choose to parade their aesthetics while stripping its empathy and complex morality away So easy to do when you've never been the monster needing humanizing

Just 5 hours left to get your grubby little mitts on a KS copy of one of the most influential games ever designed!

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

This sounds familiar but I can’t quite put a finger on it…

It’s so hard going back to initiative.

The philosophy of "Our turn over my turn" is strong with Draw Steel.

Leon know's what they're talking about (because they're paying me a compliment). But in all seriousness, the Wizard's School of Gambling subclass is probably the best subclass I've designed for any system ever. And I don't even like playing a wizard!

Just pushed this over the 200k mark. Let's get 800k more for the Bakers before the day is done!

Online Daggerheart Players: I strongly recommend using PureRef to keep track of your cards! A personal license is PWYW, and it was a game-changer for letting me look at all my abilities and shuffle cards between my load-out and vault. It's also just a great tool period: www.pureref.com
