Once upon a time, all who dwelled in this land lived in fear of the Scourge. Adaire the Hero rose up, along with their band of loyal companions, to put an end to the Scourge’s tyranny. The Scourge met their demise at the end of the final confrontation… but so did Adaire, celebrated and mourned for their great service to the world. Tonight marks the twentieth anniversary of the Hero’s passing. They had achieved immortality through their untimely death, living on in the hearts of all free folk. The people sing of Adaire to celebrate their triumph over the Scourge, and build monuments to honor their sacrifice; the land still bears the evidence of the final battle, mementos of a legend who was once flesh-and-blood like you. As one of their companions on that fateful Quest, do you recognize the figure preserved in worshipful praise and witty ditties? What will you do to preserve your friend's legacy?

To commemorate(?) the end of Sousou no Frieren's anime next week, I have written a hack of Alex Robert's For the Queen that is heavily inspired by the themes in Frieren. The play-test form is up above, and I will send you the text version of the game next week when the final episode of Frieren airs...

200+ Gender Neutral Baby Names, From Adrian to Zion

There are plenty of reasons you might want a shortlist of gender neutral baby names. For instance, if you're not finding out the gender of your baby before they're born, but you want to have a name decided on ahead of time - picking a name that works for any gender is the perfect solve. Or maybe you just prefer gender neutral names to baby names that are more traditionally masculine or feminine (although, of course, we love using a baby boy name for girls!) Gender neutral baby names cut across categories. You can find gender neutral names among Victorian-era baby names, trendy names, and more unique picks, which means you can find the perfect gender neutral baby name no matter what "vibe" of name you're going for. And to get your creativity going, we rounded up more than 200 unisex names with their meanings, according to Nameberry.

MONTHLY MEDIA: December 2022

And so another year draws to a close. It was surely a strange one and I have this weird feeling that 2023 is going to be a good one? Just a hunch. Anywhere here’s all the art I experienced this month.

……….FILM……….

House (1977) I knew it was gonna be dreamlike and indescribably weird but I was still consistently surprised. Fun and sad and beautiful and again...weird. We watched the interviews included with the Criterion Collection DVD and it added so much. I never would’ve known “Mac” was short for “Stomach”! Just bursting with ideas and I saw someone describe it as a cinematic I Spy and that really resonated. Lots of details that are easily missed so I’ll definitely be watching this again.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) Incredible. Everything I wanted (and didn’t know I wanted) out of a Weird Al biopic. I wasn’t expecting so much of the humor to land for me and if you at any point enjoyed a Weird Al song I think you’ll dig this movie.

Mean Girls (2004) A really great watch, even to this day. Aged better than a lot of teen comedies, though I did find the soundtrack distracting this time? Were teen movie soundtracks always so...shoehorned? Oh well you still can’t beat such classics as “That’s why her hair is so big, it’s full of secrets”, “You go, Glen Coco”, and “get in loser we’re going shopping.” 

Gremlins (1984) An annual holiday tradition and one that really gets me in the Christmas spirit. It’s something about those carolling creatures and them all singing along to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves that does it for me.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) Another annual tradition and the artistry in the Rankin/Bass specials hold up so well.

The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974) Having never seen this before, I was interested in watching a Rankin/Bass film without the lenses of nostalgia. Surprisingly dark in a lot of the story, but just as weird and charming as the other productions.

……….TELEVISION……….

Andor (Episode 1.01 to 1.01) Season 2 of The Mandalorian was probably the last Star Wars media I’d watched and wasn’t planning on checking this out...until everything I heard was raving about it. You know what? It’s worth checking out. Really great character-driven television that has something to say! I really hope Andor season 2 doesn’t fall into the same trap as The Mandalorian.

Cybergunk (Caleb Gamman, Youtube) Okay I don’t normally include stuff I watch on YouTube but this series made me realize I should! I’ve been burning through Gamman’s catalog but his Cybergunk series is really resonating with me. It feels like it’s explaining the technological stall we’re experiencing right now in a concise and entertaining way. Watch it here.

……….READING……….

The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale (Complete) An interesting, and depressing, read. Though to be clear, it’s not a hopeless read. I really appreciated each chapter ending with researched suggestions for reform. It really does make the case that most problems that the US polices are made worse by policing. Maybe some of them wouldn’t even be problems if they weren’t policed? As a non-US reader it definitely acted as a cautionary tale and with that in mind, I wholly recommend.

Alice: Through the Needle’s Eye by Gilbert Adair (Complete) Books that build off of Carroll’s work is often hit or miss for me. The trend seems to be dark, brooding, and skewing towards YA. Nothing wrong with that but that doesn’t click with me. This. This clicks with me. It’s a spiritual successor to the first two stories in the tone, plotting, and style. You want whimsical poems and wordplay? You got it. You want nonsensical characters? There’s a full cast here. Anyway, big fan.

Spider-Man: Blue by Jeph Loeb and Time Sale (Complete) It just feels right to read this in the winter, you know? All the snowy skyscraper scenes and Peter getting sick from the cold. Classic stuff. 

……….AUDIO……….

I’m Your Empress Of by Empress Of (2022) Just started listening to this but really digging it so far!

……….GAMING……….

Oz: A Fantasy Role-Playing Setting (Andrews McMeel Publishing) The holidays meant we only played a handful of times but it was a great couple of sessions! The broke into a castle, stole a book, discovered strange rock creatures have infested the Munchkin District’s capital, and more!

Neverland: A Fantasy Role-Playing Setting (Andrews McMeel Publishing) The Mof1 group is spinning a lot of plates at the moment. They’re hunting newts so that they can enter a cave and return an eye to stop a terrible evil from being released. Super fun!

And that’s it. See you in January!

Adair household:

The holidays rolled around, first Halloween. Wyatt dressed as a hotdog and carved a pretty pumpkin. Thanksgiving went without a hitch, everyone enjoying dinner and time away from school. Wyatt and Braxton put the tree together themselves, a gold and red theme this year around. Just before New Years, Alex and Braxton were having a little -fun- and he may have forgotten to exit in time. Last time this happened they smiled at the negative test and vowed to be more careful. Alex felt satisfied with her 3 boys. She had thrown herself into exercise, trying to feel a little bit better about her mom body. She wasn't into the idea of another pregnancy and middle of the night feedings again. Life had other plans, however.

She started to feel unwell and knew immediately. She showed the two dark lines to Braxton, who took the news well. They looked around at their little home and realized it was time to look for something a little bigger. Nathanael and toddler Brice were already sharing a little room together and they knew adding another wasn't going to be easy unless they moved.

The next city over had a cute two story home with enough space for each child - including the new one, to have their own room. It also provided a small space for workout equipment. Wyatt was pretty serious about his bodybuilding now that he started the HS football team. And of course Alex wanted to do some light jogging to try to maintain the work she'd already done on her body.

Alex and Braxton went to the doctor for an ultrasound scan just before her 3rd trimester arrived. All they really hoped for was a healthy single baby. Please no multiples! Since Braxton is a twin, he knew the odds were higher. They both sighed with relief when they seen one little baby on the screen. They held their breath for a moment as the technician looked. Its a BOY. Braxton and Alex were laughing, what are the odds of 4 boys!

They decided to take one more family photo even before the new arrival. Braxton wanted to document the (hopefully) LAST baby bump his wife Alex would sport. As her due date nears, the couple grows antsy but also realizing they will be doing this again. Brice is nearing school age and they were so close to having some time for themselves. Here we go again!
