Tonight I watched Eyes of Fire and Lair of the White Worm for the first time! Looking for more folk horror vibes. What should I watch next?

Okay so what I'm gonna be doing on my Patreon for a while is brainstorming ideas for a fantasy TV show influenced by Farscape (especially its approach to puppets and prosthetics). Sketches, character notes, storyline ideas, episode synopses, stuff like that. patreon.com/gorangligovic

"The Shadow of the Torturer" is the first book in Gene Wolfe's quartet, "The Book of the New Sun." We follow Severian in his last years as an apprentice to the Torturer's Guild and his first days as a journeyman executioner. Severian is unexpectedly naive, and in danger for it. 💙📚🪐 #bookreview

I needed a distraction project so built a character generator for @munkao.bsky.social’s rpg, Kala Mandala. The naming part is based on @jacobmarks.bsky.social’s name generator. I think it’s pretty darn neat and am very happy with it. Maybe you’ll find it handy. thebawanmeddlingassociation.com

Here's something not design-related from Explorers Design. A confession: I can't do accents. Not even coherent bad ones. So, when I prep for my sessions, I deliberately redesign NPCs without them. www.explorersdesign.com/how-to-rolep...
