Worth noting that MH also had the best GM alternative name ever. "Werewizard".

One thing I do find is that both OSRers and storygamers have a tendency to see the old school RPG scene as D&D and maybe its closest rivals (Runequest, Traveler, C&S) when it's actually a lot broader than that, even moreso when you hit the 80s.

It's a real shame Monster Horrorshow is in IP hell from what I know because it's JH Brennan being adorably weird as always, but it's actually properly focused so it's much more playable than Man, Myth and Magic or *shudder* Time Ship.

I think this is always amusing because my instant reaction to was storygamers had this discussion? Pfft, Monster Horrorshow had single roll combat in 1987. One issue with the segmentation of the hobby means I think people often genuinely miss developments that happened outside their island.

Just picked this up but on a skim I may finally have got what I've been hoping for, a wrestling RPG that neither goes full kayfabe nor ignores matches entirely.

"Death Saves is described as a dark fantasy setting, which ties in perfectly with the aesthetics of Manganiello's clothing line" I give up. There is nothing I can say that is stupider than the reality we live in.

Name a famous swinger that isn't Ian, Wee Jimmy or Clive Dunn.

It's Gary Gygax day so I'm going to steal my friend's creations and claim they're mine.

Despite the much higher visibility of the free speech grift from right wing culture warriors, it's objectively the case that in the 80s and 90s nobody seriously considered proscribing even the most spiky of political groups (Class War, Red Action, Movement Against the Monarchy etc.)

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

On current Morrissey discourse, worth noting that Cornershop had his card marked in 1993 and were largely brushed off and laughed off by the press. Also, early Cornershop is fantastic. This was my first experience of them and it blew me away as a 19 year old. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRj9...

I'd also fucking point out that back when I was a proper music journo and shit "misspelling the interviewees name" was a serious bollocking at best and never darken our office with your presence again at worst.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

I have a remarkably important meeting on Sunday and I'm kinda nervous. Can't go into detail but we're talking "not just personally important but could change the local landscape for LRP" levels of importance.
