Tall man, weird little telly boy Lower Hutt, Aotearoa New Zealand. Writing, TTRPG design with Handiwork Games and Taleturn, taking action, discussing NZ political nonsense. Usually walking the dogs. #FiveEvil coming soon! (mr_orgue at the bird site)

This is like that Tom Holland dance video⦠same rules apply.
Yeah dude shut up! Weβre trying to do our beachside ceremony of innocence over here!
Beetle has a razor blade to my throat and heβs whispering in my ear in his beetle voice that we have to bring back Clive Evil and put him in every single video for every Handiwork game going forward or it will cut off my earlobes
And when you get home and you open the plastic video case and take the cassette out and put it in the VCR and it gets pulled into the machine and mounted and the screen fills with static and an FBI warning
And the beetle is on your shoulder because it followed you home
The variety of scenarios for FiveEvil: Fiendish 5E Horror is like when youβd go to the video store and run your eye along the horror shelf.
All different. All exciting. All terrifying. #TTRPG
We're bringing the two FiveEvil scenarios to print! FiveEvil Double Feature collects THESEUS PROTOCOL by @mytholder.bsky.social and Glasshouse by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social in a glorious full colour softcover. With a cool beetle with a razor blade on the cover.

This post made me pull out my recently-acquired Twilight Zone DVDs and watch this ep, never seen it before. Excellent. (I knew the general shape of it but not the specifics, particularly not how it ended!)
Now that is a headline.
Sounds like universities just need to get AI systems in place to do your ethics checks
Pretty sure that will all work out just great, no further problems

How I arrived on Bluesky

Spotting this a bit late but very happy to share it - at the Wellington Armageddon pop culture show the amazing Ruby is gonna take over the main stage to throw a bunch of international guests at Monster of the Week! Love to see it!
It's kind of wild how driving the speed limit feels like an act of resistance against car culture
This poll means The Rest Is Politics podcast has to finish permanently
I mean I actually like Rory Stewart and I listened to the pod religiously during the Boris years but rules are rules

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of βSwamp Thingβ, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjanaβs 100th birthday. Letβs raise a glass to one of comicsβ originals.
Thank you henry
Stuffβs deal with the Telegraph has been inexplicable as well as inexcusable for years now. They have run some truly appalling pieces under the Stuff masthead as a result. Sent a few emails about it over the years, never got a reply.
Oh and for clarity for anyone skim-reading this: this attack is an unjustified and unjustifiable abomination, those responsible should be impeached and imprisoned and their names blackened for all time to come.
What a fucking mess it all is, made worse by extremely shallow contextual reporting in our national media. Read some books huh.
So we have every reason to be extremely dubious about David Seymourβs pretensions to support liberty as a principle, given the history of power relations he happily supports, and especially given his disgraceful behaviour towards that local politician from Iran.
All I know for sure is that international interference in Iranian leadership is a long-standing tradition, the CIA operation against Mossadegh in 1953 was an international crime with disastrous consequences, and the 1979 Revolution was genuinely because Pahlaviβs dad was a US puppet who suuucked.
Hard not to see that as a coordinated strategy to lay the table for Iranian regime change.
But of course itβs not that simple. This isnβt anything like astroturf, because there really is a strong grassroots diaspora community behind Pahlavi. And the Iranian regime deserves to fall.
