A horror adventure book and ttrpg adventure with exquisite art? You know I'm in.

Carnage on Cape Cod cover art. Fang&Tentacle production. Carnage on Cape Cod Interactive novel is on the left. It's black with a white eye crying at the center of the page. The shape also looks like an opening in a cave. Carnage on Cape Cod Adventure scenario is on the right. Another black cover, but this one has the shape of a white, eclipsed Moon above the ocean, with nine different blades below, following its curve.
Interactive Novel - Art Page A woman dressed in yellow in a stormy sea. The text reads: THE TEMPEST -ENTRY 01 - A siren keeps still in the ocean tonight. She's dressed in warm sunshine, her hair red, tied in a messy bun atop her twitching head. The ocean is autumn cold and restless with the waves, yet she stands there unmoved, with an absolute absence of regard of any kind for the rainstorm washing away her tears. The water is splashing at her shivering waist. At her yellow dress. Suddenly, she acts, fumbling with her hands as if her arms itched with a horrendous agony her body could no longer contain. The crashing of the waves mutes her cries. She unclasps the clip holding the bundle of her hair, releasing the mane of red, shrouding her shuddering visage. She makes a quick motion with both her hands as if scratching one arm's length and then the other. Just once each, from a soft spot between the muscles of her upper arm down to her palm. Only her gritting teeth show any notion of pain. They are close to shattering. She raises both her arms towards the bright moon above. Her sunny sleeves open up, spurting blood from each arm, coloring the sea with the color of her hair, swallowing the sunshine of her dress with the eclipse of the pouring dark. The bloody hair clip drops from her hand, as she starts spinning with the last shred of consciousness, with the last breath of life. And there she is, dancing death and beautiful, twirling away her remaining years in a fountain of blood, food for fish, her arms raised still. It is not only her body that moves, but her lips are also contorting in a strange manner as if speaking speech unknown and silent. Her eyes are wide and glistening with fear. With joy. After the ninth pirouette, she drops down, caught by the waves. Dead in the water. Lulled by the ocean rouged with blood, pale with the imposing Moon. Blessed suicide saluted by a downpour. A siren had died tonight. The queen of the sea is dead. You open your eyes.β¦
Adventure Scenario Portraits A pale woman with stitched lips and runny makeup, and a man with a darker tan than her, a thin mustache and a white shirt.
Adventure Scenario - Overview. A mockup of an open book. The left page is crimson red and in white letters it says: That woman must be the saddest woman alive. Not only the pools of her eyes, but her entire body is made out of tears, her branching fingers, the many ponds of Haddoc. She wants to speak to you, but she canβt open her mouth. Maybe for the best. More sadness would inevitably pour out and wash away the universe. But the saddest woman alive isnβt sad with her sadness. Sheβs sad with yours. She holds the entire cosmos of sadness within her. All someone elseβs. All EVERYBODY elseβs. In her veins, in the stitches of her voice, in her putrid skull, in her belly. Sheβs the mother water. And you stand before her disrobed, ready to take a swim because nobody warned you how dangerous it was. How sadness compels... On the right white page is the Index.
Carnage on Cape Cod is an upcoming horror adventure book set.

A comforting nostalgic '68 matrix keeps the middle class content and consuming in the dream world. But in the 'real' world the ruling class lives through the apocalypse powered by the millions of slumbering bodies. Waited on by the essential class who have a foot in both worlds.
After seeing this post I cannot stop thinking about eXistenZ Matrix Inception Blades.
Talking to my partner about her experience running WALAN and getting over 'that $1000 problem' is legit.
I don't know who keeps doing this but you have to stop I'm begging you

Back with a sofa bed update. The frame has been completed, the leather upholstery, is all but complete. I just need to find beads I like for buttons on the cushions.

I'm really liking @scenefour.bsky.social 's videos on TikTok (you should check him out here: www.tiktok.com/@scene_four/...) and god knows we need more analysis and thought on this stuff
However, I do have one criticism of his framework in that I don't think he's talking about play cultures...

As a local weekly one shot organiser. Just because the system is GMless does it mean that there is equal labour being performed by the facilitator from organising venue to running the game? of course not. Heck! It takes juice to rock up to a venue and play. Any amount of work your doing, thank you!
Weβre so freaking back. Videogames. Board games. Role playing games. I wanna show case you at ALT: GAMES 2026! Submit in the cheeky link.

Extraordinarily keen to see what you have cooked up!
My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

Bloke dominated podcasts, actual plays and reviews. Will need to fix that for next year...

I felt like 2025 was getting back into the groove of things, post 2023, I definitely felt a bit more avoidant in general but though some of that still remains, I think I've come back into a new 'form'.
How did your year shape up? What were your highlights?

The sofa bed is coming together nicely. The box frame and drawers are done. I plan on having the back of the sofa articulated back so that it can be folded out into a bed. I just need to fashion the right kind of hinge.

No progress shots for this week's miniature table. Bashed this one together by eye and honestly pretty happy with the result.

If you didn't get to play it last Christmas, I recommend picking up @loottheroom.bsky.social 's advent calendar hexcrawl.
I stuck with the experiment, taking it to its conclusion and placed it in the space. #wip
Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

A promotion for The Dovecote episode 81 with Sam Sorensen. A photo of Sam Sorensen, a man with a beard and glasses, sits on the left. On the right, a 3D model of Eclipse, a demon with blue horns and a pink cloak, sits. Above, a logo says "THE DOVECOTE: A TTRPG News & Discussion Show", with text beneath reading "Episode 81 / Sam Sorensen." Behind them, a dovecote with stone cubbies and a starry background is draped with blue curtains.
TOMORROW at 7:00 PM EST, it's The Dovecote with Sam Sorensen of Cataphracts and Over/Under! Tune in as we discuss Sam's large-scale wargames, PAX Unplugged and more!
