Poems are now battlefields.
"Our society might have stumbled into the most embarrassing possible cyberpunk dystopia, but—as of today—it's at least one in which wordwizards who can mesmerize the machine mind with canny verse and potent turns of phrase are now a pressing cybersecurity threat."

What do I HAVE to pick up at PAX UNPLUGGED?
I am especially interested in zines out of people’s bags and the most grungy DIY stuff people have.

Got dm'd by a faceless account saying they were blocking me for the Trans Cherokee word posts, then got called a trumpanzee?! for supporting them, they blocked me after.

My favourite part of GMing is just doing constant fan service for the players.
Why yes, we can have a car chase to a masquerade with a makeover montage and a mech dance off. In fact, the safety of humanity depends on it!

The UCP are the scum of the earth. Imposing a four-year contract on people and invoking the notwithstanding clause is authoritarian bullshit and should be met with a general strike. Bug your unions to show solidarity—we’re not gonna have unions if we don’t crush this bullshit and crush it hard.

Feels like you're in a graphic novel adaption of a Stoker story via Lovecraft or Poe set in the west of Ireland, it certainly feels like Samhain in Connemara.
The time mechanic takes a bit of getting used to, and I was worried it might make the game too much, but you get the hang of it.

I've played 3 hours of The Seance of Blake Manor from #Galway based #indiegames devs @spookydoorway.bsky.social so far, and it's excellent.
Great mix of Irish myth,history,paganism,occult (wasn't expecting the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to appear, but given when it's set, that makes sense)
