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.

This is a screenshot I took in 2020 of Tweets from Nov 2016. Feels pertinent, even if the situation should be much more obvious now.
Tweets from Elliott Lusztig @ezlusztig dated Nov 2016 Hannah Arendt in her book The Origin of Totalitarianism provides a helpful guide for interpreting the language of fascists. She noted how decent liberals of 1930s Germany would "fact check" the Nazis' bizarre claims about Jews like they were meant to be factual. What they failed to understand, Arendt suggests, is that the Nazi Jew hating was not a statement of fact but a declaration of intent. So when someone would blame the Jews for Germany's defeat in WW1, naive people would counter by saying there's no evidence of that. What the Nazis were doing was not describing what was true, but what would have to be true to justify what they planned to do next. DId 3 million “illegals” cast votes in this election? Clearly not. But fact checking is just a way of playing along with their game. What Trump is saying is not that 3m illegals voted. What he’s saying is: I’m going to steal the voting rights of millions of Americans.

Hey, remember when this happened in April and now weaponising "the safety of women & girls" versus immigration is an ongoing discourse? It's almost like they were aligning with an existing campaign…
Screenshot of a tweet by @jessgill03 "We’ve won the battle against trans ideology. Now, it’s essential that the gender critical community speaks up about the dangers of mass immigration for women. Women and girls are being raped and harassed across the country. If you truly care about women’s safety, you need to speak out against this."

Adds "nightmare punter habbit" to my list of potential band names.
Headline from the Metro "Pub landlords call out 'nightmare' punter habit" - it's about stealing tableware apparently.

This is an older photo for #SundayPixWeather Sure, the internet wasn't great living around there, but it definitely had its plus sides.
Above, a blue sky with white-grey clouds, below hills with a mixture of arable and livestock farming, some forest, a few houses. A narrow dark-grey road snakes down the hill apparently vanishing into a wooded area.

Remember in the early 2010s when the default Twitter profile picture was an egg?

In retrospect trying to be witty and making my profile picture an actual egg turned out to be a bit on the nose.
The twitter default egg profile picture - an white ovoid on a blue background. A photo of an actual egg on a blue cardboard textured background. It took me ages to get the thing to stay still.

Quote with a random photo, otherwise everything goes wrong in June
A wall and doorway inside a bar in central London. The doorway has a security metal door that is three quarters of the way closed. Above the door is painted the words “SPYING ROOM.” There’s a small dresser to the right of the door with a cupboard, a drawer, and a cutlery caddy on top. I’m mostly doing this for the random photo part.

#SundayPix #SundayPixWood This is woodlands near where I grew up, taken in early January 2022.
Mostly bare trees, darkened silhouettes on grasses and ferns. The ground is lumpy from a combination of tree roots and rabbit warrens. In the mid distance is a simple fence, beyond that the ground is white with snow/ ice, and further away a denser wood which looks light brown in mid-morning winter sunlight.

This H*l*n J*yce?
Gender-critical group Sex Matters has responded to claims that director of advocacy H*l*n J*yce was seen reading pornographic fan fiction on a train. The organisation confirmed in a press statement later shared with PinkNews that Joyce had indeed been reading explicit fan fiction based on JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series of books, giving the explanation that it had been for research purposes.

I don’t understand, Facebook, why might a talk about the historic value of graffiti as part of a rebellion be relevant to my interests just now?
A Facebook ad for a free talk online by Madeleine Pelling, hosted by the UK National Archives on “Graffiti and the Making of Eighteenth Century Britain.” The Eventbrite link calls it “Writing on the Wall: Graffiti and Revellion in Eighteenth Century Britain” The ad text begins “Explore a cultural history bringing lost voi…”

Wait does this mean that the whole point was a Government exercise to "end the debate"? Make it go away before the next election? You idiots…

Basically I read these two books back to back and had an idea about setting a Hunter game during the Fall of London. But I couldn’t just do that, some people might not know what happens during the Fall of London. So,
11.30pm tonight on www.twitch.tv/talesofmytha...
The game books for Vampire the Masquerade Fall of London and the core book for Hunter the Reckoning.

Later today: the third episode of our Vampire the Masquerade Fall of London actual play - the coterie are heading for Elysium. This will surely be absolutely fine and contain no unexpected complications.

I took a picture in case either I forgot how weird it was to ask this, or in case other people didn't believe me.

I think most people (trans or otherwise) would have had some issues filling this out.

I've sort-of made it up myself, but it's happening during the events described in the sourcebook Fall of London.

And I'm calling it Whirl and Rush - a title which I'm frankly amazed no one has used already (It's a quote from a relevant novel).

At 8pm GMT it’ll be my first time as storyteller for a game of Vampire the Masquerade, and it’ll be on a stream.

And on Monday I’ll be running a Hunter the Reckoning chronicle which takes place at the same time.

Come watch if you are into that sort of thing.
