Ohhhhhh now this is a treat.

Ella made Camlann.

Georgia made Holmwood Foundation.

Horror and suspense masterpieces, and I say that with massive bias because I’ve been lucky enough to play Death Comes to the Saloon with them both and they’re gorgeous storytelling geniuses.

PLEASE SIGN UP 🙏
Hey, this is your reminder that @georgiacooked.bsky.social and I are making The Deepest Dark for #ZineMonth!

It's a GM-less, tragic horror ttrpg about getting trapped underground.

(If we want to get into Zinetopia, we need 400 followers in the next week.)

A little eel history to welcome the year!

In 1535, Richard Graynfeld wrote Arthur Plantagenet about the fishing in the castle moat, saying: "I pray God send us good stuff of eels."

And may it be so with you, too, friends. I wish you all good stuff of eels in this coming year.

The Dutch sold live eels from ships on the London Thames for 600 years, only leaving in 1938.

But by the 1930s they weren't transporting eels in these ships anymore. The ships stayed parked on the Thames as an antiquarian storefront & the Dutch refilled them from modern tankers.

As @cavalorn.bsky.social teaches, tonight is the Eve of St Bland, when the veil grows thick. The most mundane of nights when the hidden world recoils from this one and the fair folk put up their feet with a nice cup of dew and the latest copy of the Sidhe Weekly News.

Have you ordered your Christmas eels yet? Don't delay!

Medieval kings often served eels at their Xmas feasts. In 1213, King John had 10,000 eels at his holiday party. His son, Henry, once ordered up 40,000!

So get on it! You don't want your party to be the First Nö-eel, do you?

Stop uploading VAs voices ripped from audiodramas to character dot ai. It is theft and it is sick and creepy as fuck, and the environment destroying GenAI companies are profiting off our work because you are stealing it for them. Just stop.
🧵 If any of you are responsible for this, here's some advice:

This isn't how you honour creators. This is theft. And this isn't how you hone your creativity. This is theft.

Learn how to impersonate people and do your roleplaying that way. Because this? IS THEFT. caibotlist.com?search=daisy... 1/4

Does "Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop," sound good to you? It's the story of a tea witch and her cat, Misery, who break down in the English countryside.

It's the first release from a new digital audio label from my former editor and friend @fakeadamcecil.bsky.social.
