I'm listening to Episode 500 of @xplainthexmen.bsky.social. The discussion of coming out as trans as a real life retcon, and social conditioning as your inner Comics Code Authority just blew my tiny non-binary mind. Thank you Jay and Miles for your wonderful podcast.

Both House (1977) and Nosferatu (1922) were utterly delightful. House was a psychedelic fever dream with excellent use of painted backdrops and wind machines. And it was great seeing how Nosferatu originates so many classic images, and the guy playing Knock was clearly having a great time.

Earlier this month I watched The Crow (1994) for the first time and I was ridiculously happy to discover that a pivotal early scene is scored with an original song by The Cure.

Happy Halloween!

I'm off to see House (1977) and Nosferatu (1922) at the cinema in honour of the season.

The next episode of Dracula: 2004 by @starstriderpods.bsky.social is also being released tomorrow. I've had so much fun sound-designing this first batch of episodes.

Day 31: Reward

Gonna get personal for this one: my first ever time playing a TTRPG was 13th Age by @pelgranepress.bsky.social, GM'd by @gejwatts.bsky.social. She got me absolutely hooked and gave us all lovely, personalised in-game rewards at the end.

Day 16: Overcome

Instead of a game in which the PCs overcome obstacles, how about a game in which the PCs ARE overcome by a forest that doesn't want them there? In Trophy Dark by @jesseross.com you are an entitled treasure hunter doomed to meet a tragic end.
