Hi! I'm Jason Mical, a writer and CD who runs this account to have fun & spread joy. Work appears in The Expanse RPG, Eclipse Phase, Kerbal Space Program, & more! Current: a complete history of the Quest for Glory series. Book is done and publisher acquired!

I stay in character most of the time. :)

I've been migrating away from the Strahd schtick for a while now. My heart wasn't in it anymore. But it was great fun while it lasted! ❤️🧛🏻‍♂️

I saw both movies at a sleepover with a friend whose parents allowed us to rot our brains with whatever we wanted when I was about 14. I assumed exactly this and it's still my head canon.

the explanations for how Evil Dead 2 is remake instead of a sequel ignore how the funniest / most in character possible option is that Ash just went back to the cabin a second time.

Let me take the opportunity to pay you one: you are one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know and your kindness inspires me. Thank you!

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

Heh, so it goes. Corporations move at a glacial pace, especially if they're not making much or any money lol. We got one half step closer today though!!

That would make an excellent opening line!

Jason Mical @strahdvonz.bsky.social · Aug 6

Hahahaha it turns out I'm missing one last card. It may be in my storage unit but Jeezy Peets

Jason Mical @strahdvonz.bsky.social · Aug 5

A 30-year quest is nearly over. I'll post more about this on Friday, but - I've been collecting a small, relatively unknown CCG since 1995 and if it comes in Friday's mail, I'll have the final card I need for a complete set!

Jason Mical @strahdvonz.bsky.social · Aug 5

Thanks! The gameplay is pretty meh, but the art/worldbuilding is top-notch, which is mostly why I've been collecting it. I have a box in my storage unit with some more cards, so it might be worth pawing through that since the one I'm missing is only an uncommon! :/

Jason Mical @strahdvonz.bsky.social · Aug 5

Turns out I was missing another card I'd somehow marked off ... so the collection is not yet complete! (The game is Heresy: Kingdom Come :D )

My brain: we need a 3-ring binder. The cheapest, simplest solution will do. No need for anything fancy.

The more fun part of my brain: *or* you could get a motherfucking TRAPPER KEEPER!!

The dunk does seem like a very suitable addition to the Middle-Earth bestiary tbh

That's very true actually!!

Jason Mical @strahdvonz.bsky.social · Aug 5

The two things I remember from this cut of LOTR:

There was a framing device showing Tolkien's experiences during WW2

Gandalf sang a song to Frodo about how cool the dunkleosteus was

I don't know either

I had a dream last night that they released a 36 hour cut of Lord of the Rings and I am truly disappointed this does not actually exist
