The longer I sit thinking about Guillermo Del Toros @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein, the more my love for it grows. When it first ended I felt loved it. Now a few days later, I think I’m ready to admit it is an absolute masterpiece. Tied with Pan’s Labyrinth for Del Toro’s best work to date.

I wrote a letter regarding my feelings after finishing Drakkenheim. Our 7 year actual play is now over, and it changed my life. I still feel like I could write a thousand more pages on my feelings, but the core message is there. Thank you all.

Still playing Silksong, still loving it. I’m near the end of act 2. I know I’m slow at this game, but that’s okay. I like taking my time and picking away at it. It still continues to mesmerize me with its art, music, and gameplay. It’s hard as hell sometimes, but I’m taking it in stride.

I’m preparing to run an actual play miniseries where the goal is that I prepare absolutely nothing, we go full improv from everyone at the table. Make it up on the spot. This concept is both very freeing, but oddly not preparing makes me super nervous.

And that’s a wrap on Drakkenheim. Final episode filmed.
Looks like we can expect the final episode to drop October 28th.

So turns out after 7 years, I am very rusty on guitar, and my fingers need to build up their callouses. But, I am playing again, learning songs, and writing a few riffs of my own again.

I am feeling inspired to pick up my guitar and write some music for the first time in almost a decade.
I feel a new album coming. For those who didn’t know, yes I have old albums, no they are not available anywhere. I have a handful of old songs on SoundCloud. I am generally embarrassed about it.

The Long Walk was one of the saddest movies I’ve seen. I liked it a lot. Somehow it still was a gut punch even though I knew exactly what the premise was going in.

Your hand so warm with somethingness
We whirl and twirl and music's invented again
In this grand ballroom of nothingness
We soar, we sail to the only song there's ever been
Love.

Well… I did it… I just emailed Team Cherry, the creators of Hollow Knight explaining who I am and asking them if they want to chat. Maybe nothing will come of it, but hey. Gotta try, right?
I would love to design the Hollow Knight TTRPG. It would be a dream come true.
