I never did an introductory post here, and the number of people here has increased dramatically lately, so…
Hi! I used to be on Twitter )and other sites). I'm using a fake name now for some semblance of anonymity which I'm likely to mess up as soon as I promote something with my real name on it.

I’ve spent almost 20 years doing occasional dialogue editing and sound design for proper actors.
Do I like listening back to myself? Absolutely not. So, with that in mind, please appreciate this when it releases later today.
(And the later episodes are even better).

Next week we will release the first in a new 7 part series. I sat down for 7 one-on-one sessions, with 7 amazing people to play the @kultrpg.bsky.social scenario outline The Driver. They were all given the same options to choose from and we got 7 very different games. #TTRPGs #ActualPlay #Horror

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

We are starting on the Atrocity Exhibition in Kult: Divinity Lost tonight in about an hour on www.twitch.tv/talesofmytha... #TTRPG #ActualPlay
I’ve not played in a campaign of Kult before - my characters in often die quite quickly with that slippery stability mechanic - so this should be fun.

We are doing our (off-stream) session 0 for this tonight, so I guess I should start telling people that we are planning to play it on stream next week @talesofmythandmayhem.com . I shall most likely be mentioning this again nearer the time.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Slightly frustrating to not know enough to apply for particular jobs, but I know too much to apply for apprenticeships that would lead to those jobs. This must be what not having a way into the industry for people mid-career looks like.

Don’t give these people benefit of the doubt. This racist rant isn’t an accident. Or ‘speaking out of turn’.
It’s designed to fill our airwaves with people debating ‘if’ non white skin is a problem. Not Reform.
Diversity isn’t the issue, hatred is. Don’t indulge it, vote for it or tolerate it.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.
