A me problem

I don’t have a good substitute visual for the hunter antagonist in my current Vampire: The Masquerade game to replace the person I’ve used as a reference for the inspirational monster-hunting PC before and I don’t want to have the current PCs kill her off or vice versa, even at this remove.

This is very much a me problem.

First Contact Day

For First Contact Day we played Star Trek Adventures. Which we were going to do anyway as we didn’t realise, and there wasn’t any first contact in the episode, but still.

Reminder: no music rounds

Our team won the GEAS quiz, despite me putting in the wrong answer for which ride of the Rohirrim the musical cue in that music round came from.

Boundary of the Darkness playtest

Pelgrane calling for playtesters for Boundary of the Darkness, the Trail of Cthulhu sourcebook of dread investigation during the Age of Enlightenment.

Buffy on ITVx

Buffy The Vampire Slayer returns to free-with-ads streaming in the UK, despite not having been shown on an ITV station AFAIK.

The Streaming Voyage Of The Demeter

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter is now on Prime if, unlike me, you didn’t buy it on disc the day it came out (seven weeks ago...) after waiting a year and a half for it to get a UK release of some kind.

Bring Her Back trailer

Bring Her Back from the creators of Talk To Me.

A circle of salt around a person is one thing. A circle of salt around an entire house...

John Wick 5

Releasing film news at CinemaCon, yes, that makes sense. On April 1st, risky.

Especially when the John Wick news includes an animated prequel.

I do hope 5 will reverse the 4 sidetrack and get back to building towards John destroying the entire international crime league over the killing of his puppy.

And doesn’t have anybody in a fat suit, but that should go without saying.

April

Happy April Fools’ Day am I doing this right

Conpulsion games

Conpulsion 2025 scheduled game list.

V5 Empire 2.07

Tonight in Vampire: The Masquerade - Empire, the PCs found that the vampire working with hunters was doing it for moral reasons, which undercut their arguments somewhat.

Conpulsion update

Two weeks to Conpulsion and I have most of the quiz but not a write-in round.

Summer?

British Summer Time my ass, you ain’t barely spring and you sure ain’t seven months long.

IMHO

Quantum Leap 2022

Quantum Leap (2022) is now on Channel 5’s catchup service here in the UK. Both seasons. It’s a fun wee show.

No PCs means no need to be normal

Idly considering having a clan with no PCs be deeply weird in my next Vampire game.

Delta Green bundle

Project Ghostlight: The Top Shelf

Alexander Ward and Joey Rassool launch the Ghostlight podcast with their history with Vampire: The Masquerade.

It does make me want to do a Big Team superhero game again...

Hrm

Oh, so no Marvels. :(

Well, it probably isn’t everybody, right...?

Avengers: Doomsday

The Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal video is strange enough that it’s probably good I haven’t found a convenient meme blank for the actor chairs.

“They’re bringing back Runaways?”

“Didn’t they recast her? Twice?”

“Cary Grant?”

“... Oswald the Lucky Rabbit?”
