Oh, Pinterest, “Images like [the one I saved of Quentin Questa]”:

So much wrong there. So much right.

Someone on the Masks discord posted this cool list of fanmade playbooks and now I wish I’d known about the Youth back when I was playing Adam. Lot of cool playbooks (including some we’ve already seen like linked elsewhere like the Relic).

Aside from the review itself, it looks great and the visuals are inspiring.

Been waiting for this for a couple of months… and I’ll just keep waiting until tomorrow.

I’ve been waiting for this one for months (and dove back into the book yesterday, since Margie and James were doing likewise). So, yeah, plan on some serious (and hilarious) watching of this.

Leftist OSR? Sure, let’s take a look.

As a fan of Good Omens, I have to say I was pretty thoroughly satisfied. The adaptation from a heavily-internal-dialogued book to something that works on TV was quite well done.

Via Kurt Busiek on Twitter (with the comment “D&D groups have made a cultural shift, I see”):

Which I love so much for “I figure this is Uncle Don’s version of book club”.

So small confession time: I love Choose Your Own Adventure novels (scandalous, I know :stuck_out_tongue:) and to that end I’ve really enjoyed the Choice of Games series. If you ever see my Steam library, you’ll see probably a quarter of the games on there are from that company (admittedly, part of this is that there’s usually a new game released once or twice a month).

Anyway, today they released Asteroid Run: No Questions Asked, a story in the vein of the Expanse novels that will also be in line with our Scum & Villainy game. From the description:

Cargo runs between Earth, Mars and the Asteroid Belt are commonplace, but deadly. You’re the captain of a merchant vessel, but this time, your contract has a twist: don’t open the cargo, don’t get in the way of its handler, and don’t ask questions. Deliver to Vesta Station.

If anyone else enjoys games like this, I have a handful of other suggests from this company.

Someone somehow made the perfect gift for Aria

Jason and Alycia decided on an Evangelion binge watch one weekend. They quit around episode 12, convinced they either knew or were too many of the characters, and deciding (in Jason’s words), “Yeah, a show about a tyrannical, manipulative father who gathers broken children around him and abusively exploits them for some greater cause is, ah, not the healthiest way to be spending our time.”

Jason does order Alycia an alpaca stuffed animal, though, (if not one of these), quoting the Wikipedia entry, “Alpacas can sometimes be aggressive, but they can also be very gentle, intelligent, and extremely observant.”

She orders one for him, quoting the same page elsewhere, “Alpacas are often very trainable and will usually respond to reward; most commonly in the form of food.”
