‘Come Together.’
#commissionearned
Been going through old files tonight…
…There’s some stuff from years ago I should finish up. Nothing earth-shattering, but a bunch of half-done gaming material that I could finally finish and get off the plate. When I’m not doing everything else, of course.
New cast members reported for Season 2 of LET’S PLAY: MIDDLE-EARTH ROLEPLAYING.
Just in case you were wondering whether there was actually going to be a second season of RINGS OF POWER. I am obligated to tell you that, yes, there will be. I unironically recommend that you do what I do, which is to pretend that this is somebody’s old college campaign on the small screen – and, as such, is not obligated to be canonical. Then you can focus on the stuff that’s not bad, like the Dwarven family life and a surprising amount of the proto-hobbit stuff and the way that Sauron… yeah, actually, that’s how Sauron would go about it.
You might as well, because I guess Bezos paid ahead of time anyway?
Tweet of the Day, …Why ISN’T There A Category Like This? edition.
It seems like a solidly useful category that wouldn’t need much coding, and would encourage purchases. I myself want to know it when games I actually play get updates…
Steam needs a "DLC for games you own" category in their store.

Modiphius losing Conan RPG license December 31st.
I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, here. It might simply be that Modiphius isn’t interested in doing further Conan RPG material. Or maybe there’s something else going on. At any rate: if you buy the game already, now is the time to finish your collection. They plan to have their stock emptied by June of 2023.

Tweet of the Day, @RealGDT Has No Plans To Do A Stop Motion MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, Alas edition.
Which is a damned shame, because I didn’t know I wanted that until the concept was brought up*.
I don’t, really- just a pull quote they did. But it would be nice… https://t.co/GfGY9j2P30

*Can it be done? I dunno: can it?
Scheduled plans for this month!
Two main ones, really. I need to get FALLING WALLS OF LUNACY finished up (that’s the Kickstarter reward from TINSEL RAIN: Lovecraftian horror on the moon!), and I need to get GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND into alpha reader draft form. I think the total wordage necessary would be no more than twenty thousand, which sounds doable in a month, but I guess we’ll find out by December 31st. I will probably be spending the weekend taking a hard look at both, and trying to block out how to handle each job.
Yay. …Sorry. It’s just that this is the non-sexy part of writing.

The More Promising GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOLUME 3 trailer.
Although as it is, there’s a strong possibility that everybody in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOLUME 3 is gonna die. Then again: how long do these actors and actresses want to commit to eating nothing but steamed chicken, anyway? The MCU Diet must do a number on people.
So, INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY will still likely suck.
I know this. You know this. Possibly some people yet unborn know this. And the title (INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY) is awful. Still, I’ve seen worse trailers:
Watch the new trailer for #IndianaJones and the Dial of Destiny that just debuted at Brazil Comic Con #CCXP2022. Only in theaters June 30, 2023. pic.twitter.com/GNKemfnBN2
