Dialogue note

Possibly influenced by a recent forum joiner

“You’re new here so I’ll give the benefit of fuck off.”

Another present

After the Photoshopped image of Cara and the resulting CGI toy pictures, a ’shop photo of the time she got sent into a Technicolor romance version of the 1950s as an attempt to get rid of her, and a CG figure pic too.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - 401K

Death cult megacorporation Pentex hits differently these days.

“Gotta serve the Wyrm, it’s inevitable, you don’t wanna get left behind do you?”

WoD Discord thoughts:

Sharkey: Pentex is so fascinating because in addition to it being a straight up evil corporate entity concerned with profits above all else, its board of directors are knowing actors. They are spiritually aware enough to understand the same cosmology the garou understand, and they choose to pledge themselves spiritually to the Wyrm for benefits and their goals. They are themselves animistic occultists they just do so in the boardroom rather than around the bonfire.

Weird corporate retreats where you hunt the most dangerous game, where you have the junior associates fight with rusty knives for the delight of the executive class, dark rituals deifying Fly and begging for his patronage. and endless, unceasing, paperwork.

Thanatos: Well maybe if the Werewolves offered at least Dental, we would help them instead

Me: I think if they did, werewolf dental would be pretty good. New teeth every lunar month.

Mel Brooks at 100

Labyrinth at 40

Though it came out here the following December. I mean, not long at all...

Dark Shadows at 60

Dark Shadows began on this very day in 1966. The animated series reveal could have waited a day, if not for animation festival timing.

S is looking at the episodes daily on Bluesky.

Most startling bit of that article - the big format change followed a threat to cancel the show if ratings didn’t pick up significantly in six months’ time.

I presume the animated revival will follow every other one and go for the monster rally the show became after its first year, but redoing the original idea could be fun too.
