STREET OF CROCODILES (1986): Startling, terrifying stop-motion animation by the Brothers Quay, loosely based upon the short story by Polish writer Bruno Schultz. Channel 4 aired it in one of their animation strands and it blew my mind.

Sesh 5 of @effektpodcast.org Tales of the Old West, The King of Santa Fe.
In between the campaign adventures I make stuff up as the group travel between Steaming Rock & Silver City, a 100 miles, 10 days across harsh wilderness.

The rush of completing contracts by year end (it's a work thing), is over, so I managed to claw back some days and take an afternoon off. Just before con trip to frozen Manchester and various work events in Jan.
Feels like a deep breath before a bungee jump.

To WarHorn or not to WarHorn?
One of the reasons I blog about conventions is because they’re so different - in the UK at least. Some you sign up to games in advance, some you sign up at the event. Some have a mixed economy.
I’ve always been a fan of signing up at the event.

A frosty old walk in the park, dog has now found a squeaky ball and I can hear the toy's death throes echoing through the house.
I had a bunch of reading, writing tasks but I am on taking down Christmas tree duty, a pre-cursor to a family dinner, so had better crack on with it.

Cockroach Poker was the game du jour of New Year's.
A project manager, a couple of teachers, a professor, a care support worker and an electrician all brought their best bluffing game to the table.
Does it say anything about our society (or the game) that the most educated lost each time?

OK, this will likely take a bit of a ramble, but here is the story of why I *didn't* become a published game designer... 🧵
And I’m not doing that for you. Your thoughts on *your* mission are your own.
And hey maybe your actual goal IS being in a starter pack or you’re focused exclusively winning a medal.
I think it’s worth thinking about why, and how long that external stuff can sustain you as a creator.
Love u bye
