The Whale God (1962)
A black-and-white still from the 1962 movie The Whale God, in which Meiji era Japanese shore whalers cling to the side of the tokusatsu whale, harpoons in hand.

I should post more album covers in this list

Cover art for Dirt by Yamantaka//Sonic Titan, which is a very 90s black and white manga poster type image with a giant robot, a protagonist, and a red title in rough strokes that looks kinda like the Berserk logo.

Also reposting this internal bit from the book that I'm still really proud of:
"Wake up, Detective. The flood has taken your memory palace. The waters of the past rose up and carried everything away, acidic as regret, cold as sorrow, unyielding as pride. Your foundations are split and divided. The skein of your thoughts torn and muddied, the mirror of your mind splintered. Half-drowned and half-present, what remains of you is only a warning - but look up! Look up, from the silt of your despair, your mistakes, your little ruin of memory! There is a star in your empty midnight sky. It is the Case. Solve it, Detective! The Case will guide you. Redeem you. Discover who you were. Decide who you are. DETECT OR DIE."

Introduce yourself with
One book
One movie
One album
One TV show
The Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe (via the cover of the first volume, the Shadow of the Torturer) Blade Runner, via the original theatrical release poster, though I'd recommend the director's cut Divers, by Joanna Newsom Revolutionary Girl Utena, the animated series (the movie is also good)

DETECT OR DIE is here!
My tabletop game comes out tomorrow on Itch; equally inspired by Disco Elysium & Bluebeard's Bride, it's a lightweight TTRPG of detection, memory, and emotions, & PBTA adjacent with some novel systems!

I may reskeet this when I figure out feeds.
Cover of Detect or Die, a tabletop roleplaying game by B.P.S. Klug. Subtitle: Discover who you were, decide who you are. The image behind it is a double silhouette of a detective, like a playing card, that's been heavily scribble on and water-damaged.
