The Kindred of Gary found themselves swimming with the sharks tonight as they navigate the Byzantine political scene of Chicago’s vampire demimonde.
Music callouts were limiting to some Primus lyrics, but we did have to lookup the Bears’ performance during the 91-92 season for accuracy. #vtm
A dilapidated Jaws model on a trailer.
Current mood:
New Social Distortion album and the first cut off of it from out of nowhere. Better day than I anticipated.
Starting the day with T.S. Eliot in mind:
"There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create"
I'm not saying we got a lot of snow last night, but I just saw the Noldor pass by on their way to Beleriand. #unexpectedtolkien
In tonight’s retro Vampire: The Masquerade game, the neonates of Gary visited Chicago and experienced the Succubus Club for the first time.
Musical callbacks were Soundgarden, Joy Division, The Cure, REM, Misfits, and XTC. Plus the fictional Black Glass Architecture.
I”m loving this chronicle #vtm

You have to be real Tolkien nerd to get this one, but if you do, it’s hysterical.

Cover at to 1984 martial arts fighting game, Karateka.
My god, this game completely fell into my memory hole. So many hours playing this on an Apple ][e with a green monochrome monitor. That damn hawk! I can’t believe I had no memory of it until I came across the game box cover art.
Post a mage!
More comprehensive details here:
Not involved with this at all personally, but still excited. I remember picking up the Dell Publishing edition of “Warlock” at a Scholastic Bookfair in the early ‘80s and wearing it out.
Just save the cover art for Oathmark 2nd edition and it mashes all my happy buttons. Wonderful work as always @handiworkgames.bsky.social.
Long time fans of mine already know I agree with all of this.
Thanks! My main is Camp Office, but I have satellite bases in Quonset & Farmhouse, with sub-sub-bases scattered around. I just finished 30 days in Blackrock overcoming my fear of that region which coincided with getting home and hitting 400 days. I'm debating where to next. Might be Bleak Inlet.

As the storm rages outside in real life, Will settles down in the Pleasant Valley Farmhouse with a big meal to celebrate 400 days of survival in @thelongdark.bsky.social. 100 more to go! #tld
Mexican folklore, La Planchada is the ghost of a heartbroken nurse who haunts the halls of hospitals. Dressed in a perfectly pressed, vintage uniform, she is known to tend to neglected patients in the middle of the night, vanishing the moment the morning shift arrives. #Ghosts #phantomsfriday

Thanks for featuring Pinball Crawl Classics this week. I, and the crazy authors who penned those adventures, appreciate it!
Dead Kennedys made like three records about it
Happy Belated Birthday to Clark Ashton Smith, whose only rival for the exquisite use of the English language in fantasy literature is Lord Dunsany.
That sounds particularly deranged and I love it.
The last 3 minutes was enough to turn me off to the idea of watching The Bone Temple. Otherwise it was fine, I guess.
