A very merry World Goth Day!

Finale Destination: Bloodlines

Final Destination: Bloodlines is the first good one in nineteen years. The scene used in the teaser is maybe its best, but the opening is great, and Tony Todd gets a touching farewell.

ICONS: Unity

The big superhero team of their setting, sorta-grounded like the MCU

The Last City

Los Angeles, held by the Anarchs against all enemies, now in need of new leaders. Is there a better way to do this?

Session 0: too early to say.

Matt: MacNeil get the final death?

Nobody much canon around... or are they

J: Claudia and Tanith just dancing at goth clubs?

Me: "I consider it my duty to the Kindred of the city that there's a decent goth night at least every other week." One of the NPCs

1: Nightfall

11/5

September, and LA's vampires have time to do more than hunt again after the short nights of summer. The guiding council of the Free States want to investigate San Diego having gone dark. The Rack clubs are in a currently good-natured feud looking for ways to lure in students as the academic year starts. There are rumours of agents for the Camarilla - or someone else - in the city.

And someone's preying on street kids, in a way that will leave someone dead soon if nobody stops them.

Martin, Ravnos, community activist

Rake, Caitiff, tagger

St. Clair, Brujah, former detective

Snow, Caitiff, runaway

Willa, Toreador, history student

Happy bunnies day however you celebrate!

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.

GMing?

Possible game of the summer as ST, Vampire. Hmm.

Important decision: set in LA and the Anarchs won't just be arguing amongst themselves.

Playing?

Possible game of the summer as player, superheroes. Hmm.

Important decision: I'm the Cap, getting in the way of damage.

Fancy Party Episode

Daredevil has a Fancy Party episode!

And heroic and villainous reveals and stuff.

April

Be mindful of Stupid Shit Day, especially when Stupid Shit has new plagiarism toys for ease of forgery.

Five years

Memories reminding me of that first few days' rush of free books, games and more in March 2020. Little acts of kindness all adding up.

Companion

Companion: Is the world better if terrible men can have robot girlfriends? Maybe for most people, but not for the robot girlfriends.

Heart Eyes

Heart Eyes is great fun, more for horror comedy people than romantic comedy people. If you're both, bonus!

Buffy!

Sarah Michelle Gellar returning as Buffy The Vampire Slayer, pilot directed by Chloe Zhao. Fingers crossed.

February

February is a wee short month that has a Captain America movie in it. So that's something.

31/01

It's the 31st of month 01. Happy Typo Halloween!

Fear Itself

Fear Itself

A Gumshoe system modern horror RPG.

Gumshoe characters always get the core clues and have lots of ways to get more information. But not much in general skills...

Session zero: Character Creation.

26/1

College kids in an isolated campus.

More to follow hopefully.

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.
