I've been thinking about it. And I think there might only be three types of narrative game
1. Explore the Psyche of Man
2. Stuff Already Happened, And Now You're Here
3. Lesbian Bartender
Speaking not from experience, but just from what I've heard other authors note, it's good to ask for at least SOMETHING, even if it's just a nominal fee, as that way a school will treat you better/be more organized about the visit, as it's something they're paying for, vs someone showing up for free
As if I don't have enough RPG's on the shelf already ...
I'm stoked for this, though. As the kitchen-sink-ness of the setting will allow me to use, like, just about any random minis I feel like using.
And FATE isn't even very grid-and-minis heavy anyway! I just wanna bring out some toys.
Agh, one of these days I need to play in a LANCER campaign so I can run a Raleigh.
- Mark Ruffalo (#10) - second-most popular Columbo after Falk, a Columbo fan himself who was devoted to the franchise and in some of its most memorable episodes, like "Wink" and "Columbo's Daughter"
- Adam Brody (#11) - popular Columbo but many fans still feel he was too young for the character
we all know I have no life, so:
I'm fairly decent at writing action, but my biggest strength as a writer is snappy dialogue.
(I attribute this to having studied theatre in college).
Had a dream last night where I went to casino.
Could tell it was a dream since I actually made money at it.
Ennis is a writer who -absolutely- needs an editor. As when he's allowed to go off and do whatever, we get ... uh, Crossed. Ew.
The irony is, Ennis is quite good at writing Superman, the one superhero he actually likes. It's just that he has to piss all over anyone who isn't Superman.
Share a GIF from a western you love.
(Admittedly, everyone loves Tombstone, but still).
Legends of Tomorrow ended on a cliffhanger and I am STILL salty about it. Somebody should give me a bunch of money to write up a properly stupid conclusion.
This is, admittedly, a core part of the Avatar (the elemental kung fu one, not the blue catpeople one) fandom.
I have made a mistake.
Out of curiosity, I looked up some random clips of the recently leaked Avatar movie (the elemental kung fu magic Avatar, not the blue catpeople one).
Now my Youtube feed is full of videos going on about "Character X stood next to Character Y, which means THEY ARE DATING."
Where were you when…?
i don't mean to brag but i made the strait of hormuz in less than 12 parsecs
So, let that be a lesson to you all. The best time to star in a swashbuckling picture was three years ago but the second best time is now.
William Butler YEETS.
(I did not make up that joke).
I maintain Riker was in a ska band in high school.
This is why they'll never let me write Star Trek tie-in novels.
Big Knife is the correct answer.
Earlier today, I found myself thinking about Patrick Rothfuss' "The Name of the Wind," and how the book makes it painfully obvious the author had a crush on some girl in college and never got over it.
Or possibly he DID get over it, which is why it's been 15 years since the last Kingkiller book.
Dan Olson doing excellent work, per usual.
When I randomly chanced across that book in a bookstore, I immediately thought "everyone in my friend group needs to read this."
“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.
Exactly!
Thinking about how, as a middle-aged nerd, stuff like Ready Player One is targeted DIRECTLY at me ... which is why I hate it so much.
I guess I'm just affronted by the implication of: "Hey, look at this insufferably nerdy and generally worthless protagonist, HE'S JUST LIKE YOU."
You can eat the chickpeas out of a can, and the feta and the tomatoes don't need cooking, at least? Which leaves the salmon, which ... well, sushi is a thing, right?
Just dump it all on a pan and go nuts.
(Don't actually do this).
Welp, guess I know where I'm going next time I'm in Chicago.
Me trying to tune into Bluesky:
"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."
