The Odyssey

The Odyssey is big, beautifully done, sad about the people and the world, doesn't give Penelope enough to do but they never do, shows Christopher Nolan could do horror if he feels like it (the Circe sequence could have been designed to squick me) and could have been two regular sized movies that would both work fine.

4A.01: Into The Portal

26/07

Our heroes (and Didi) have been enjoying relative peace and quiet - cut to Cara kicking a ghoul in the face and Simon casting out a demon - when Martin, the master of Time magic who pressed them into rewriting history to save his wife a while back, approaches them seeming tense.

Someone is planning to launch an attack on the city's Tradition Library, the base of the mages on the west coast.

When it was built.

Over a century ago.

It's been well enough concealed that he just detected it.

We go to try and stop the time warping ritual before it activates.

But it's too late.

Whiteout, hard to look at.

So Martin throws us back in time to stop it.

At least this time he tells us that's all he can do and gives us a moment to nod before he widens the portal and in we go.

Promising a soft landing.

--

Didi wakes to find herself in a nice bed. In a nice room.

With a couple of women in old-fashioned maid uniforms coming to help her get ready for the day.

II's 1883.

Surprise! Mage: The Ascension - Victorian Age

Didi tries not to look too stoked about getting a wardrobe full of Victorian dresses in mourning colours.

Mr B: Yes, certainly. 

Mrs B: And I’m bringing all the girls. 

Mr B: Oh, this is a You project.

Anne Rice's Immortal Universe RPG

Anne Rice's Immortal Universe RPG coming soon from Renegade Game Studios

Interesting. Especially coming from the main recent licensed publishers for World Of Darkness.

Dark Shadows

Dark Shadows animated series? Maybe.

Designs by Abigail Larson? YES NOW PLEASE

Chronicles Of Darkness

Happy 21st anniversary to Chronicles Of Darkness and Vampire: The Requiem!

We may not see more for them but they gave us a lot and more fun can still be had with them.

MarkK: VtR gave me Requiem for Rome, my favourite vampire rpg thing in the ever of ever. I still go back and re-read it.

SINNERS

Sinners is rocking fun.

If you've seen a trailer you know where it's going but it took its time getting there and let us get to know and care about the characters getting into that predicament.

Yes I want this Hunter game.

Nosferatu (2024)

Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is Nosferatu as staged by Robert Eggers, with some additional points about not enough people listening to Ellen by making her more clairvoyant, and bonus suffering all round.

Unmasking The Masquerade

A Vampire LARP documentary from 2004.

Backrooms IRL

The Unabomber's shack in an FBI storage facility.

The photo dates back a few years but went viral today for its jarring SCP Storage bad vibe.

I imagine the photo sounding like the thrumming sound at the start of "If I Had A Heart" by Fever Ray.

Sinners

Sinners trailer

Ryan Coogler. Michael B. Jordan. 1930s. VAMPIRES.

Ooh.

Our Brilliant Ruin

Our Brilliant Ruin, a steampunky apocalyptic horror RPG from Justin Achilli and others, and the ruleboom PDF is free.

Events

Three of the five main channels showing the Queen's funeral, 4 showing a documentary about the Queen and 5 showing cartoons to keep kids quiet. Paddington 2 on BBC One in the evening. The minor ITV channels showing the same as ITV. Other commercial channels running the usual, but with silence instead of ads in the ad breaks. It's all a bit much.
