Stonehell is my pick for the best of the 21st century megadungeons (and is, I think, one of the first in the OSR mode). Itās in two parts, the initial Stonehell Dungeon: Down Night-Haunted Halls arriving as a self-published print on demand product in 2009, and the second part, Stonehell Dungeon: Into the Heart of Hell wrapping things up in 2015.
The dungeon began as a tyrantās prison, where the prisoners were forced to excavate their own living space. The tyrant fell, but when the prison was liberated, not everyone left ā lots of folks considered the horrible place their home. The top layers still retain their prison-like feel, and numerous former prison gangs have carved up the complex into small warring kingdoms. Deeper levels get stranger. At the very bottom is the lair of a creature of pure chaos that feeds on the negative emotional energy generated by the inhabitants. The more it eats, the more it destabilizes nearby reality. This goes a long way toward explaining why the place is so weird (thereās a casino down there somewhere, and at least one crashed space ship).
Dungeons are inherently irrational, and even though it is unlikely that a group will ever āsolveā Stonehell, I feel that as a whole, it justifies its irrationality in a way few other dungeons of any size do, and this makes it feel unique and special. Its also extremely usable ā despite being something like 1300 rooms, each level is made of quadrants that are detailed in a derivative of the One-Page Dungeon system, so everything is clear, brief and even modular ā you can rearrange, drop or use any section on its own, should you wish. Itās really quite the accomplishment, especially considering itās Michael Curtisā first big outing into design. No wonder he became such a big wheel at Goodman Games!

Don't Answer the Phone! (1980)
"Don't you give a shit about getting this strangler off the streets?"
"What would you prescribe for the man, a firing squad?"
"That's not a bad idea. Mainly I don't want him back on the streets in a few years - or sooner, if some misguided shrink discovers he can find his ass in the dark with both hands."

ā« Southern Cross ā«
As I mentioned last week, friend Clive and daughter Chris conspired to talk me into doing a Crosby, Stills & Nash (and occasionally Young) Week, so ā¦ here we are!!! Ā (In truth, it didnāt take much to talk me into it, for Iāve always loved CS&N and occasionally Y) My only dilemma is where to start?Ā I think Iāll start with this one, Southern Cross, for it just happens to be the favourite of bothā¦

In this scene Crowley says that he saw in a Richard Curtis film that all you have to do is put two people in the rain and, vavoom, they realize they are deeply in love with each other. Obviously he's talking about Four Weddings and a Funeral, the very romantic scene between Hug Grant and Andie MacDowell. And, in the beautiful speech made by Hug Grant in the rain, there is this phrase: āThe truth of it is, I've loved you from the first second I met you.ā

I've loved you from the first second I met you...

I find it adorable that Crowley likes such a romantic movie (after all he's a demon... these aren't the movies he should love). Oh, dear Crowley... You're so sweet...

outsiders au where Pony's just lying his ass off in the book and Johnny and Dally did not die, he turned this assignment in and sat right back down next to Johnny.
They fake Johnnys death to get him away from his parents and they fake Dallys for tax right offs.
