Happy 75th birthday, sir. Mind how you go.

Bloodhunt first anniversary
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt launched a year ago today.
Celebrations include new outfits and an in-game treasure hunt hosted by alarming Nosferatu Primogen Omnis. It also comes just a few nights after the first Tremere archetype.
And no, I still haven’t won a match.

Bat-Family
Having saved Caped Crusader from the HBO Maxxacre, Amazon is also making another animated Batman series, with Damian Wayne getting a rather less edgy depiction.
When to jump genre
The trailer for A Haunting In Venice, the retitled adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Hallowe’en Party, looks like it’s taking Kenneth Branagh’s rather broad take on Hercule Poirot into a post-Ring horror movie.

Magic: The Menacing
I’m kind of impressed that Wizards has managed a worse PR move than the OGL plans this year. The Pinkertons, on the other hand, retain very consistent branding.

But what?
I can always do more Buffy, if I can find two or more regular players.
Or for a bigger change of pace, it being nearly Alien Day, something with spaceships and spooky.

Summer games?
Starting to consider a summer game. GEAS has no rooms booked for the rest of the academic year so might need space for more Last Dance, but also would be nice to offer to players preferring to stay home. (Last Dance physically was in part to get back to that for GEAS, in part for the added focus of travel, and in part for a player who prefers face-to-face. It’s a balance.)
Probably a break from Vampire, like last summer.

Scream: The Game
Five days after I have a Conpulsion quiz question note that there aren’t any Scream tabletop games, Funko announces one.
Looks pretty light based on the twenty minute aimed time.
I want to know how big the Ghostface miniature is.
Night's Edge
Night’s Edge, coming to the apparently still existing Freeform, sounds like Let The Right One In with a twist removed, but good creative team.
Not to be confused with the third party sourcebook for vampires in Cyberpunk 2020.

Zeppelin V Pterodactyls
An RPGnet request for B-movie titles reminded me of Hammer trying to raise funds to make various films that never got past a title, script or promotional poster... including Zeppelin V Pterodactyls.
Yes, you read that right.
The Mandalorian 3.08
Star Wars: The Mandalorian
Chapter 24: The Return
The best part of The Mandalorian season three for me is that I’ve had a figure of my favourite new character for forty-five years.
(Why was the likeness so much better than R2-D2’s?)

Reminder: really big gigs are weird.
Although a little bit of lovable chaotic messiness helps.
(Also still not a fan of clapping for the planned encore, but I do appreciate making it obvious that there will be one by, for example, not playing the title song and lead single of the new album during the main set.)
Superman at 85
Happy 85th anniversary to Superman, and not quite the superhero comic but the superhero comic book.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse fifth edition
Werewolf: The Apocalypse fifth edition is now in preorders with a ten page preview on the page.
The subtitle and date announcement does unfortunately read like this:
“When will you rage?”
“August 31st.”
“That’s pretty specific.”

The Conpulsion 2023 Quiz Questions
Questions!
Answers to follow... I dunno, Wednesday maybe.
Kudos to the winning team getting 58.5 out of 69, and the deliberate losing team overthinking and getting 1.
Conpulsion Day 3
£3375 was raised for Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, a very worthy cause.
And I played in a game too.
