(Half-Damned, Left Hand Path or Victorian Lost), the lore always worked and actually allowed the reader to have a wider view and make more sense of the cruel and chilling universe where #ChroniclesofDarkness takes place. Alas, such a great line, mostly reduced to a footnote in the history of #ttrpg.
My fist five #ttrpgs: 1. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1e 2. Shadowrun 1e 3. Role Master Boxed Set* 4. WHFRG 1e 5. Call if Cthulhu 4e. * While I understood all the effort that went into it, this particular system was a letdown for me. Too many tables, not enough flair and typical, simple artwork.
My first five RPGs: 1: Dragon Warriors 2: Stormbringer 3: TMNT 4: Ghostbusters 5: Palladium RPG The order of 2-5 is hazy. Star Trek and Call of Cthulhu could have been in there somewhere. D&D came to us later, but really WFRP was the first system we played for extended campaigns.
Well color me nicely comforted after finding out "Savage Hunt of King Stakh" by Uladzimir Karatkievič is actually a great read, unlike the movie that kind of misses some of the major points of the REAL drama between the characters by working too damn hard to set the "proper ambience." The author did

are little more than half-decorated black boxes aimed at creating the illusion of an old manor house yet falling as short as "Collinsport" did in portraying the "grand manse" of the Collins family in "Dark Shadows." Funny; the movie does snail its way very much like some of the later episodes in the

NOT like the adaptation, even though the only Belarusian "terror/detective/psychological thriller" movie to come out of the Soviet era did win some cinema awards and was praised by the critics of the time (the movie was done in 1979, but the "rest of the world" only became aware of it in 1980 and by
This has got to stop and those racist bastards are going to go to jail.
A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

We've been telling you that, for, at least, the last 3 years. If business is affected by slop, don't try and pretend genAI is "art" in any form or discipline. Just hear the music, see the images, read the drek passed as novels... It's slop.

Now, if you want to create a #ttrpg, but have no idea where to start, the fine folks at Thought Punk's are here to make your life a bit easier. I personally recommend PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) as a solid stepping stone for a preliminary system that you can then grow with more complex rules.

While 25 million is an awful lot for almost everyone in the world,having that amount isn't considered being "ultra-rich" by the ultra-rich. Still, with that amount of money, I'd buy a piece of land and the necessary hardware to have my "food truck park" so I can cook in a different one each day.
question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

It was ghastly to watch as you gutted not one compan but the two you merged, didn't solve any of the debt and still make a shitload of money for basically being an asshole who did not listen to your Frankenstein company's customer base and always being delighted in it. variety.com/2026/film/ne...
Hey, @casuleiman.bsky.social... we may have a pre-Christmas miracle, after all.

Good wee hours of the morning, to you. I'm Txabier and my latest horror book is about three sisters, necromancy and why it's bad to surprise mom with revenant former lovers (and fathers to each one of the sisters,) set in a fictional XIX Century (semirural) México. It aims to revolt and rejoice.
Glad you could make it! Welcome to the (fictional) Horror Writers Chat Conference 🖤✨ It’s DAY ONE and you’re in an elevator with other guests… Q1: #HorrorWritersChat - Introduce yourself, your horror, and give an "elevator pitch" for your latest horror book/WIP (Work In Progress).
