Batman at 80
Today is the 80th anniversary of the debut of Batman in Detective Comics, which on Wednesday brought out issue 1000. I sometimes talk about Batman here.

Bury A Friend
So, Billie Eilish is terrifying.
The video could be a World Of Darkness or other horror one-shot. The staff of a secure hospital trying to study the victim of demonic possession... and possibly weaponise it.
(Content note for the video: syringes. Many syringes.)
“What do you want from me? Why don’t you run from me?”

The Contagion Chronicle
The Contagion Chronicle, a crossover for Chronicles Of Darkness, now on Kickstarter.
I wonder if the blood-based Contagion in Edinburgh relates to local efforts to make viable artificial blood.
A preview of the other Contagion threat in town.
... Those Museum Late events are getting out of hand.
Edit: I did not guess right.
I love the snooty Sin-Eaters of the Royal College Of Surgeons.

Us
Jordan Peele’s Us was quite a thing.
It certainly works as a lead-in for his Twilight Zone revival. (He references an episode, Mirror Image.)
And a source of Halloween costumes!

Happy N-Day!
Trinity Continuum: Aberrant: Year One. Jennifer Landers, aka Slider, looks back at the day everything changed. The first time.
Supernatural
Supernatural is to end after fifteen seasons.
Which feels like a lot... although the entire run was between Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 1 and 2.
For me, its most notable aspect is how many of the same format-breaking episode ideas we riffed on from the same sources. We borrowed the Eerie Indiana series finale for TWH years earlier!

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2: A city run on blood...
PC Gamer preview article
Kotaku preview article - in the comments, writer Heather Alexandra mentions that the demo switches from first to third person at points
VG 247 article - the character creator will be very flexible
IGN preview with Brian Mitsoda
Seattle, pretty much a blank slate in World Of Darkness canon - it’s home to a Nosferatu called Pusfinger who helped make grunge fashion a thing, and that’s literally all I could find apart from five VTES cards including two different Princes.
Starting as a Thin-Blood... with some of the interviewed team noting the option to trade up to a clan later on.
One of a mass Embrace...
Story packs and season passes. (And an Ankharan sarcophagus and Stop sign with one pre-order.)
“Here, no-one’s hands stay clean.”
Wondering if we’ll have a phone or tablet in-game. The Camarilla frowns on that kind of thing. (Ironic, as Tender was all about online manipulation... and then some older vampires ate the CEO at the launch party.)
Brian Mitsoda, one of the writers on B1, is back and in charge of narrative development.
And during the keynote, senior writer Cara Ellison confirmed it would be “bigger, longer sewers, just sewers, only sewers.” Then laughed.
Starting Seattle Vampire playlist:
Nirvana, Drain You
Mudhoney, Suck You Dry
Alice In Chains, Would?

The Red Heroine
Quite tempted to go and see The Red Heroine at the Bo'Ness Silent Film Festival... a female-led Chinese martial arts fantasy from 1929.

Slayer thoughts, read the whole book now edition
This could get spoilery. But not very, I promise.
Slayer (Book One) by Kiersten White
I finally got to sit down and read the last third, a month after getting it, almost two years after the original announcement and nine months after the first big preview.
I am currently away from home and my Buffy RPG books. Character sheets to follow.
And possibly a credit sequence if I can pick a theme and decide who to fancast.
