The horror vibe to the Clayface trailer is 👌 If the film has this tone could be genuinely brilliant. Very excited. youtu.be/ZIfpL3mgkFk?...

An island chain with Very French Names.
Six of Marsh's fabulously and sinister character illustrations for GOLD TEETH. Eighteenth century hats and wigs abound.
Six non-player characters designed by Marsh Davies, each set within a picture frame reflecting their demeanour. Meet them on the high seas, and in low places in GOLD TEETH.
A port on an island where things are not going smoothly for the powers that be.
Hey, so we recently posted these extremely fine maps and character designs by @marshdavies.bsky.social in an update for our GOLD TEETH backers.
Might as well do the same here, because you can still pre-order: www.kickstarter.com/projects/149... Our pirate RPG book should absolutely not be missed!

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.
When Jean-Paul's oldest friend dies, he has to return to Paris - with dangerous consequences.
That's GET SARTRE, ITV 2 at 7.30pm.
This is what we are doing every day for 12 hours straight at the moment, crouched at desks like monks, so I will keep reminding you of it. It bears the appropriate hallmarks of delight and madness; huge illuminated capitals, marginal beasts.
Enjoy.

In 1759, a French invasion fleet bound for the UK prepared to shelter from a huge winter storm in the Bay of Biscay.
Riding into attack on the edge of that storm was a Royal Navy fleet under Admiral Hawke.
On the pod, @drachinifel.bsky.social look at a gloriously batshit naval battle we both love.

A promotional graphic for a screenwriting resource titled "5AM STORYTALK." The background features a blurred close-up of several printed screenplays stacked together. Large, vibrant lime-green text in the center reads: "40 SCRIPTS THAT BREAK ALL THE ‘RULES’." Below this, white text reads: "FOR YOU TO DOWNLOAD AND STUDY." The top of the image has a blue banner with the "5AM STORYTALK" logo in yellow, and a small square logo in the bottom right corner shows a black coffee mug with a wisp of steam and the same "5AM StoryTalk" branding.
Aspiring screenwriters: you guys often have some incredibly wrong ideas about the craft and what producers and studios/streamers want from your script. It’s time to unlearn the "rules" by studying these 40 scripts that ignore a lot of them.
Check them out at the link in the first comment!

Now, this does mean you all have 12 days to buy our new issue so I get to make a triumphant appearance as a canny media magnate to rival Murdoch and not as the broken shell of a man that I currently am
I have two high-grade Rossignol articles in this, so it matters to me personally, but I really do believe we need the hobby to support a funny, insightful print magazine, and Wyrd Science is that.

If you're looking for a fun way to spend 94 minutes, and you're unbothered by excessive, silly gore, They Will Kill You might be the movie for you—but, @use-theforce-em.bsky.social argues, the film undercuts itself with a surface-level exploration of its themes.
