To celebrate clearing my tbr pile I asked for book gifts, and now I get to start working through a list of about 200 recommendations I've made note of in the last few years.

(Of the 22 games I wrote this year, my personal favourites are:
- Does It Have A Fishing Mini-Game?
- lay down your sword at last
- The Wolf Woods
- Not A Word
- Live On Air
- It Will Break You In The End

If I can make ttrpgs that hit this bar every year, I'll be satisfied.)

(One of many reasons I don't fw rpg people who are publishing their newsletters through substack. If they're still there after literal years of people talking about the way substack monetises actual fucking nazis, I have to assume they simply don't care.)
Underdiscussed point: how much responsibility Substack bears for Bari Weiss being in the position she is now in.

Fuck substack
the quality of work that bari weiss produced at THE FREE PRESS was dogshit-tier bad (even by the standards of right wing slop) but it was a financial success anyway because Substack's right wing owners and other oligarch benefactors heavily promoted it.

A timeslot hit

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was actually a ghost the whole time, how's that for a plot twist, motherfuckers?
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, reminded us "Just remember what ol' Tim does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Tiny Tim just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, learned what was best in life; to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Gods, this is such an excellent novel.
it's Christmas Eve! you should celebrate by reading The Tower: Escalation pt 2! We see the aftermath of the explosion, more Riley heroics, the appearance of mysterious men with guns, and then some long-awaited GIRL KISSING.

(This was so strange when it happened. Australian woman and her teen son reach the counter, looking for Birmingham souvenirs. I tell 'em, Selfridges ain't the place. Give them directions to a couple of likely places. Mother asks me "How long have you been here, if you don't mind me asking?")
@superdillin.bsky.social hates citrus fruit, confirmed. That is a nuts lore drop, gang.
Oh hey, I also had a stutter as a kid. And, yep, my accent sounds like the slightly posher version of a Coventry accent.
Also, fully got accused *by an australian* of being australian, back in retail. Wild. Nuts.

(Recommendations welcome.)

(The escalation of the drama in today's @oneshotpod.bsky.social was fantastic. The @rpgmajor.bsky.social crew and @superdillin.bsky.social are hurling themselves towards the most painful and wrought path through this game.)
