"It's Morphus time!" might be the best line we've had so far in the Nightbane stuff GM John is cutting (WITH SPECIAL GUEST STAR!) but damn, it's hard to tell, there's been a lot of good lines.

One more day polishing off some whimsical stuff, then back to cutting a project with our first guest player on it through next week, then a month and a half, maybe two, of cutting just fantasy stuff, but that should ideally put our buffer at about 6 months by April so can't whine too much!

What do I consider a God-tier album?
This album came out around when I was born. If this album came out today, it'd still be groundbreaking, still wouldn't sound like anything of the time but still very much would sound of the time. Still resonates almost 45 years later.

GM John got called "a disturbed Satan-loving socialist" by his high-school principal, a man who was later ousted from his job as then-superintendent of that district for exchanging racist and sexist content about students on a school phone with the hs football coach. Cuomo is a bad last name.
