Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, or as I call it, Us Day.

Didi 3

Was I THE WORST some more? YES.

I distracted some guards with a technique learned from Claudia Welles involving inappropriate popsicle eating.

Possible Didi background

Thanks be unto Reuel

"How do I set an alert again?"
"Damn it, Covenmom..."

Bad Times At The El Royale

Bad Times At The El Royale was more straight-up noirish and less comedy-noirish than I'd been expecting. Although it didn't skimp on shirtless Thor.

Didi week 2

Operation: Being THE WORST continues.

On needing to summon and question a demon: "We could go down to the crossroads with a guitar and offer him your soul?"

Didi Duvall

Achievement unlocked:

Didi is indeed THE WORST.

"I'm trying to be supportive and not take off my shoe and throw it at you. Because these shoes were really expensive."

"Yes I have a poster of The Craft on my wall, what is your point?"

The Hermetic occult scholar, Ecstatic DJ, Adept hacker and Akashic warrior must be so pleased.

Being just a player for the next few months feels weird.

Introducing Didi. She is the worst.

Vital Mage: The Ascension news:

Since someone else has chosen to be all heroic, I have decided to be a terrible sidekick.

I will at some point be reacting to a plan like this.

Or this.

Maybe also like this.

Possibly even this.

I will probably give her nice moments too. Probably.

Sometimes.

Gaming this autumn...

I'm playing Mage: The Ascension.

YES I'M A HOLLOW ONE

YES I HAVE A BLACK CAT

IT IS OCTOBER

MY TIME OF POWER

BATS!

Sins & Laments

An interview with Claudia Welles, an artifact of New Bremen from 2002. Thanks to Jonathan for hosting... for over fifteen years. :D

She saves the world a lot.

The last issue of Buffy from Dark Horse Comics came out today. I'm dealing.

L.A. By Night

The V5 game L.A. By Night on Geek & Sundry started on Friday night (Saturday morning here) and went well. Having just one newly-Embraced PC was a good move. (Helped by being a proper acting freakout!)

Not sure I'll stay up till 7 a.m. for every episode live though - depends how quickly it's available to catch up.

Helped as a TV-kinda-thing by everybody looking the part, which you can't always arrange in RPGs, even LARP. If you can get a monster actor as your Nosferatu, go for it!

Candyman

C- okay, I'll stop that.

I'm okay with the possibility of a remake, or a reboot, or whatever, and Jordan Peele would do it well - assuming it isn't a Guillermo Del Toro situation where he's attached to eight billion things.

Game plans for the academic year

Today I got an email asking what I'm GMing this academic year, and ran into someone from the games society who asked the same thing... and apparently we don't have any rooms booked.

So, uh... something I can run in the cafe I guess.

What would New Bremen V5 be like?

They'd have to figure out how to track Hunger for lots of people. And decide on the Chronicle Tenets and Convictions. And how NPC Touchstones work. And You Are What You Eat. And...

Okay, it would be a lot of work.

But hey, we never really made Blood pool work reliably in the old chat, right?

And it would be fun to see, for example, the mess that the Tremere are in develop night to night, with loyalists on the Camarilla side and House Carna in with the anarchs for example.

It would have a new prince, again, obviously.
