Hey by the way have you seen DUNGEON CRAWL?

A very silly, experimental and self indulgent "zine" inspired by fortune tellers of grade school years. Less of a game, more of a fun interactive zine that has you helming different adventurers and going down different branching paths to encounter a monster at the end.......

It's a Black and Fluro Pink Risograph, and you can get a copy right now!

Randomly remembered the time me and a pair of random passerbys saw a visibly young heron hunting in a canal and just stopped to watch it. For like, a good 10 minutes. Not a word spoken but when the heron didn't manage it we would do a little "aw goddaamnit" to each other and then when it finally managed to catch a fish we cheered very quietly and then walked off

Tom Bloom of LANCER fame is currently having a 100% off sale for both of his paid solo games, Magnagothia Maleghast and Cain, as well as a 100% off sale on the first volume of his Zine containing more stuff for both of those games. I can't speak for Cain but Magnagothica Maleghast is pretty good and I'd recommend you get it.

His in-development solo game ICON is of course still free.

His other solo game, Goblin with a fat ass, however, is no longer free and now costs 80 dollars.

masks that cover the face but leave the eyes visible give someone a deeply personal character - they present someone as a thinking, feeling person first and foremost, and anonymise them physically.

on the other hand, masks that cover the face but leave the mouth visible do the opposite - they present someone as a body, a visceral and physical being. where the eyes subjectify, the mouth objectifies them.

my personal pick for most underrated animal is the european legless lizard, which i think is often taken to just look like a normal and rather plain snake, but if you're familiar with reptile anatomy at all it looks more like some sort of bizarre heraldic fantasy creature than basically anything else on earth
