The number of dudes saying they grew up playing D&D in the 1980s Bible Belt and say the Satanic Panic never happened and is a myth made up by anti-Christians is striking.
Just Blocked my third.
My patience with delusional fuckwits is zero and I'm not giving them a platform for their stupidity.

I received a Surprise Game in the mail.
Most Surprise Games don't appeal to me (usually FRPs & 5e games).
But THIS GAME looks right up my alley.
Demons, Exorcists, 1890s Europe, BRP Mechanics - FUCK YES!! This is so my jam.
Behold: the Exorcist's Codex Slipcase Set!
Thank you @twostarvinggnolls.com

While the fold-out map that comes with Cthulhu by Gaslight is pretty, it's also a tad small to make out all the details.
Then I learned Chaosium sells larger ones through their Red Bubble store.
Poster sleeve, plexi, or something is needed because that bad boy really wants to roll up on ya.

Some dude who has never once commented on the channel before asked me to record myself GMing. I said no. No big deal. Happens all the time.
Then the dude tries to pull the "You'd get more respect if you did" card, like some sleazeball coercing girls into sending them nudes.
Fuck that dude.

I'm like 87% sure a certain Maine horror author blown on cocaine and chugging mouthwash named his greatest hero's nemesis after himself. Later an older and sober Maine horror author assisted Roland find the Tower and defeat his younger, evil self.

One of the greatest movie openings of all time is from Takashi Miike's film Dead or Alive.
It's 7 minutes of unbridled madness, violence, sex, and weapons-grade cocaine.
The movie itself is OK, but the first 7 minutes are infuckingcredible.

Fun with Data
Juvenile Crime skyrocketed between the 1960s and 1990s. Gang violence and 'super-predators' dominated the news. Then in 1995 it dropped and kept dropping.
No one knows why.
Some attribute it to Roe-v-Wade passing 20 years before.
Possibly it was all those "violent" FPS video-games.

OK. Last time.
A D&D Stirge detaches after draining 10 HP of blood. Therefore HP are a measurable unit of blood (I estimate 200ml per HP).
Characters with high HP might have hundreds of liters contained in their bodies at high pressure. Even light nicks tend to spray anime-style.
It's science.

YouTube let's me try up to 3 thumbnails at a time and tells me which is the most effective.
Initially, I loaded 3. Within the first day it was clear one wasn't working for people, so I reduced it to 2. After 6 days, the algorithm tells me.... nothing.
I can only assume they suck equally

There's a Cyberpunk 2077 novel?! Why doesn't anyone tell me these things?
I'm gonna give it a shot. As someone who read both 'The Ravengers' and 'Holo Men,' it can't be the worst.
