I'd argue that the answer would make it a riddle if it was:
Possible answers being:
"What you put inside it."
"A hole."
"Its contents."

The first inked image from THE RULES OF SUPERVILLAINY comic book adaptation has been sketched out. It gives a sense of what the comic will be out. Fantastic art by Donny Hadiwidjaja. #SupervillainySaga #comics #comicart

One of the best Cthulhu Mythos novels I've ever is WRATH OF N'KAI (Arkham Horror) by Josh Reynolds. Basically, a Catwoman/Lara Croft figure stealing occult artifacts. Not just because one of the characters is named Phipps (coincidence?). #books #horror #urbanfantasy #booksky @jmreynolds.bsky.social

My first adventure module was this. I was thirteen years old and didn't have the rulebook. However, it had a nanotech plague that turned everyone into zombie droids like SYSTEM SHOCK. I was sold on RPGs. #StarWars #tabletopgames

Corporations always ruin #tabletopgame settings. SHADOWRUN wasn't always sane with its very political racism and politics filled divided states of America but it had a lot of ideas. Gradually, the game was just reduced to robbing corporations and elf ears. #Shadowrun #cyberpunk

Bard magic keeps getting expanded but every edition but the original reason they had it was because bards would pick it up as part of their "learn a bit of everything" philosophy. Yes, Bards are hobbyist wizards. #DND #dungeonsanddragons #bards

The Books of Cthulhu series by me and others was based on an idea: Mythos fandom was full of people who act above pulpy action horror. So I created a series about Tommy guns, biplanes, and tentacles. Surprisingly, we got a big fandom. www.amazon.com/dp/B0B628CTQP

Finished my giveaway for STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON - 8307 copies given away with Bookbub's new Free Reads program (+ Book Barbarian). Hopefully this will encourage people to check out the #UnitedStatesOfMonsters series and also increase my vampire fiction cachet! #urbanfantasy #books #writingcommunity

Just finished the WHITE GOLD SCORE novella, which is a #DanielFaust story. I may have enjoyed it even more than the first Daniel Faust novel. I like when the character is involved in mundane crime + supernatural horror. @craigschaeferbooks.com #horror #urbanfantasy #books #bookreview

Stephen King summarizes how I write my characters perfectly. I write like I DM. The characters encounter a challenge and then tell me how they deal with it (usually in horrible ways). #writing #writingcommunity @davidniallwilson.com

My all time favorite piece of fantasy art and the one that inspires me to this day. I saw this on the cover of a book in junior high and never looked back. Raistlin and Crysania forever. #Dragonlance #DND @larryelmore.bsky.social #fantasyart

I think #Ubisoft going bankrupt was inevitable from the point where they inserted a Modern Day sequence into Assassins Creed IV and V where you're a video game programmer working for depraved smiling psychopaths. #videogames #AssassinsCreed

It's fun to give your PCs odd quirks. One of my favorite ones was the fact the Lara Croft-esque heroine wanted to taste every possible monster and animal they killed. This led to skipping a fight with some giants who had a brontosaurus they BBQed together. #DND #dungeonsanddragons #RPG

They remade it with Chris Hemsworth and the North Koreans in 2012. You also have my permission to forget I told you this fact for the sake of your sanity. :D

I actually liked the video game HOMEFRONT. The ridiculousness of its premise (North Korea conquers US) worked because they treated the absolute stupid premise...dead serious. The sequel sadly ruined it by trying to make it make sense. Then #RedDawn copied it. #homefront #videogame

#Shadowrun sadly lost all of its soul and "edge" when it tried to tone down the craziness and politics of the setting for more generic "corp bad." You never hear about the other US breakaway states, Native Americans, or genocidal plans against Orks/Trolls anymore. #DND #tabletopgames #cyberpunk

I'm watching the first THE MIGHTY NEIN episode and I like it but I think it suffers from what made me like the later seasons of VOX MACHINA less. The show keeps wanting to be serious and what I enjoy most about the series is the wacky humor. #criticalrole #fantasy

Yes, it's not a completely unique idea. Though Fred has abnormal powers of friendship.
Peter Stone does become a black and white corgi as a sign the universe hates him power wise.

I have successfully gotten the script written for THE RULES OF SUPERVILLAINY comic book! Working with Frank Martin, we'll be doing a 24 page comic book we'll fund with a Kickstarter. If it succeeds, we might do some more set in the Garyverse!
