Event Horizon is great. Seeing Merlin was very cool. But What about In The Mouth of Madness.
Can you name a Sam Neil movie you like that is not Jurassic Park ??

Time to replay Control and finally play Alan Wake I guess
Reckless FBC experiments at the Lake House caused the Dark Place to collide with our reality. One agent descends into the darkness and navigates the nightmare. The Lake House expansion is available October 22nd exclusive to the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition. More info: alanwake.com

Started pulling #MTG cards to make some draw decks to challenge myself to write some #dnd5e spells and I'm intrigued. Lots can't translate of course, but I think there will be interesting niche spells coming out of this, not to mention ones focused on influencing action economy.

So writing is hard. Creating is hard. Especially when stressed. I've been going through my card collection and had an idea to ease me back into it, something that would be small and provide challenges to overcome. I'm going to make decks to draw from for #dnd5e spell inspo

My thought is I can put together some extra cards from #MTG that can be translated into spells or maybe items. I can also take #PokemonTCG and use the random moves as spell inspiration. I love making #dnd5e spells to begin with and I'm hoping this will help spark some creativity.

Tangentially, I'm taking some data science courses/certs to expand my options (especially for remote work). Anyone have insight on where its at right now? SQL? Azure? Analytics? Science? As much as I can cram in my skull??

Been dooming a bit due to still being unemployed soooo I didn't write anything this week. I think I'm going to just start small and do like a spell and/or monster every week / few days? Dress 'em up in a doc for members on Ko-Fi? Trying to figure it out.

Really wrackin my brain on how I want to approach my supers cypher setting mechanically. My original beta was made to take into account both your secret and super identities including getting abilities related to each. It works on paper but I am worried about one of two things:

Either players are going to feel too forced to balance their abilities and then not feel they have enough for scenarios that require one subset over the other. Or, secret identity stuff is ignored beyond the initial set up because it's just more useful to focus on being a super

Hey friends sooooo, got laid off a month ago. Been spending time NOT rushing around worrying about life for the most part but I have also been getting my shit together. That means new resumes and updating things like LinkedIn for the first time in over a decade.

The absolute best thing about @dropout shows is the way they make no attempt at hiding the crew cackling at the cast members playing the game.
