a yellow envelope with a black and white label that says Curios Albrecht Manor. the envelope is styled to look like an interdepartmental office delivery envelope. the envelope lies on a bed of envelopes, postcards, photos of houses, and letters. a book titled Dwelling, the cover shows a cropped view of a house showing the roof and one window against a night sky. over the cover is a spot shine of ghosts coming out of and surrounding the house. peaking out of the book are a postcard of a keyhole and a bookmark that shows a key. next to the book are purple paper ghosts and post it notes of drawings and writing. an open book with the background of a moody gradient of pink to blue to purple. the left page has white text detailing a game mechanic called frights and the right page include a table of frights. an open page spread of a zine on a purple and blue gradient background and some tarot cards. the left page has a dramatic illustration with angular panels showing an old woman, a pilgrim, a dog, a queen with a snake. the right page is titled the visitors and has a list of visitors corresponding to the major arcana.

I love rpgs. I love having intentional negotiations about how we wish to do pretend violence to each other and how we will adjust our own comfort zones to thoughtfully receive that violence

Canadians! If you're looking for ways to aid the resistance efforts of Americans, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social compiled a resource of Canadian companies with ICE contracts. These are excellent targets for local resistance with international effects!

I really enjoyed #PaxUnplugged, and the opportunity to chat with several people about the cool projects they've worked on!

Unfortunately, I couldn't get everyone I wanted, so I guess I'll have to go back and make another video. 😞

Feeling lonely? Never be alone again.

Make your perfect companion from the remnants of the dead fill them with vitality, and contend with what you've created.

a gothic script elegantly reads we shall be monsters, behind the text is a grainy woodcut image in green, black, and purple of an absolutely shredded man with among beautiful hair and he is nude but his nudity is artfully hidden. a surprised expression on his face as he lies in a pile of bones. this image is from an early edition of mary shelley's frankenstein portraying the monster.

@819Steph.bsky.social just released a new solo journaling RPG video, this time featuring Auspex by @smolghost.bsky.social. This game takes us to a world on the brink of destruction, as the player takes on the role of a diviner guiding the change through their advice. Curious?

i've been chattering abt this in as non-stop a way as someone who is talking about something that hasn't been published yet can possibly chatter & i'm excited to now un-qualify that. bc of who i am & the wrenching ways that this game approaches companionship & creation. personal context attached
two tweets from me in october 2023: rainy october afternoon vibe of going to the cinema screening of bride of frankenstein & being the only person openly weeping. it's just So. clenches fist. the gender. the disability. the necrosis of isolation & the tragedy of its contagion. the traumatised drive to destroy that which is like you but cannot sustain you.
