It begins. The first episode of Samuel Barnett's Unknown is available, wherever you get your podcasts. Sam and Tom are on a quest around London for ghosts, a missing Shakespeare play and paid acting work.

Happy Halloweeeeen! Remember to leave out a glass of milk and a plate of cookies tonight, so the pumpkins don't eat you instead

As the nights get dark and stormy, it’s the perfect time to check in on ole Morbius…
Speaking of cool Karn stories, if anyone wants something that feels very Silmarillion but in Doctor Who form, Dark Gallifrey: Morbius by @verbatimfoley.bsky.social has a really cool ancient Gallifrey/Karn storyline that's (mostly...) Doctorless

Due to bad trains (I know, unheard of in the north) I am briefly stranded at a rainy station, but I’m all warm with the knowledge that the audience reeeeally appreciated the Scooby Doo gag in the play tonight

Oof, yes. I like cosy as a garnish, a squirt of whipped cream. I would not want a cup of whipped cream.
I write middle-grade whodunnits, so you might want to dismiss my opinion out of hand. But I think cosy games/crime sometimes miss the fact that blankets are only cosy when it's cold outside. A world without conflict / a story without stakes isn't cosy, it's just safe.
We need to talk about the cozyfication of games because it’s a serious disease, possibly as bad as the edgyfication of the 90s and the grittyfication of the 00s.
