The Faroese sleep paralysis demon is known as Marra. Marra sometimes takes the shape of a beautiful woman. Yet not only causes she nightmares but also has a more sinister habit – she counts the teeth of her victims. If she completes this task before dawn, you die in their sleep. #dailyspooklore

Btw, why didn't anyone tell me Carmella was such a good book? I blame you

www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/09/m... Just Wow! @katymontgomerie.com

I am returned from whence I came. Cat cuddles ahoy!

In the airport waiting to go back to Blighty

From @newmadras.bsky.social, a deep dive into the lost Mountain Witch kickstarter and the issues that arose when the real world challenges artistic ambition.

I take this back - apparently this dude hates Trump. Hah.

I've said it before but if you want to play the best edition of D&D, use the Young Adventurers Guides with 2d6 for tests.

Well fuck Goodman I guess

Anyway, it's an American Pope which means Trump got involved somehow

Pope Nope: solo game. You've unwittingly been elected pope and you want out. Write your plan: 3 things that will get you immediately pope fired. Roll ingredients: 1. Destroy 2. Shoot 3. Disrupt 4. Offend 5. Hide 6. Threaten After each scene roll a d6. On 3+ you plan backfires spectacularly

Also I played the game where I tried to draw characters from memory

Quick lil Deckard sketch

Well done to Liverpool Pride for ending their partnership with Barclays after Barclays said it would ban trans employees from the toilet www.lcrpride.co.uk/2025/05/08/l...

Stuff I like about each gen: Z: anti authority streak Y: hard social justice streak X: counter culture heroes Boomer: Pragmatic streak Silent: Stoic streak

Just finished Walls of Shira Yulun and loved it. Certainly some parallels with current conflicts. The Snow Leopard is ace

There's def a game in playing a creative team on a "cinematic universe" and then playing the studio execs completely tanking it for tax purposes

Pontiff-icate. Each player is a potential Pope. Each scene is a vote for another or themselves. To vote, pass a die to the one you want to elect. If you have dice, roll them and total. Anyone getting odds has a flashback scene together where they plot against the lowest voted pope (tbc)

Feel like the ttrpg landscape right now is either violence or cosy and spare little inbetween. Think we should look at other experiences

I did enjoy this in the end. More of a character study and a slight meditation on determinism. Now reading the new @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social Double Edged Sword & Sorcery novels.

🚨I've done a letter we can all use to ask the services, organisations and businesses we are part of to support trans rights, just like the BFI. I'll be writing to @womensinstitute.bsky.social @bpsofficial.bsky.social & @magdalenoxford.bsky.social. Letter here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... 🏳️‍⚧️💪🏳️‍⚧️
