Sorry, I'll be chill about this soon but like. The thing is right. Lilly. Right? Like from BOUND?!? The Matrix lady looked at Liv's script and our world and said 'yep. that's good. Let's get that made.' CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SCREAMING HERE?!?!?
UH HELLO WHAT?!?! DO YOU SEE THIS YOU BETTER TELL SOMEONE

I want to “yes, and..” this to emphasize that neither fear nor horror have singular definitions, and most of their failure states in RPGs are a result of treating them as monolithic.
My entire career in RPGs has been focused on overcoming this issue. We do it in a lot of ways. The single biggest piece of advice I can give is that players know what can scare them. Empower the players to scare themselves, and they will. Incentivize sub-optimal choice making!

Oh wow, look at this a long rambly video about why TTRPGs are bad at horror, and how they can not be! youtu.be/Pc7wAJmHnVU

This is so fucking cool! It's incredibly hard to get a movie made in the best of times, and to get this kind of talent?! And if you're like me and can't wait to see what the hubbub is about, there's a massive sale on the game! itch.io/s/204657/oct...
Some little indie rag wrote about #iHunt? NBD but you should check this out.

I'm gonna be blasting a LOT in the coming few days/weeks/months/whatever, but, if you want to keep appraised of the #iHunt film, TV, and vertical news, join our newsletter. You'll get fun art and fiction there, too. www.ihunt.media

I AM TELLING EVERYONE. #iHunt is one of my favorite games and @filamena.bsky.social and @machineiv.bsky.social are so damn talented. The script is SO good, y'all have no idea. The only thing that would make me happier than adapting it myself is seeing these two ladies adapt their own work!

Replying to @rdonoghue.bsky.social
Is it weird to be glad to see the bad in the world reflected in games? I dunno. Maybe. But it feels weirder that it’s not. (And I get that it IS showing up In our games, both indirectly and as a thing to escape. I just expected more “billionaires are killing us” games by now)

There are many reasons I’m excited about this, but here’s a weird one. In the U.S., everything is pretty bad right now, and some part of me would expect this to be reflected in our TTRPGs, but by and large it is not. iHunt is an amazing exception to this, and thank goodness for it.

A ton of #iHunt and that's not all for $25? All treat, no trick. itch.io/s/204657/oct...
Going back in time to watch this stellar play of #iHunt with @goldenlassogames.bsky.social, @aabria.bsky.social, @persephiroth.bsky.social, and others. Before we, um, knew what Critical Role and Dropout were, really. lol.

I just learned about this game and it looks absolutely sick. Check it out.

We need to ban white people until we can figure out how to regulate them.
I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family
Gosh. You're saying it's not about "protecting women?"
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Add another to the rapidly growing list I'm told is "just a couple of outliers."
Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

This video talking about "leftists should work out to compete with the fash" is INCREDIBLE. Just outstanding. It features a talk by @reallandsend.bsky.social which is profoundly important for ANY leftist to listen to and internalize. Bigger Man doesn't win the revolution. Solidarity does.
