Tonight (Mar 13 at 8 p.m. Eastern / 5 p.m. Pacific) the folks at Critshow are going to be making characters for a session of DEVIL, AIM FOR ME, the Weird West horror #ttrpg scenario I wrote using Trophy Dark rules.
So if you want to watch some folks make some doomed bounty hunters, swing on by!
Madeleine Ember draws some amazing cats for the TTRPGing with CATS zine (only $4.95 on itch).
"This little zine explores ways to integrate your feline friend into your #ttrpg experience, through tables and probably mistaken interpretation of cat behavior.:
Yeah, so not much. Yeah, quiet Sunday. I got a patch to sew on some pants and was thinking I might do taxes. Oh the wife? Yeah, she's good, she's wandering the back rooms. The back rooms? Kind of a liminal space thing, the kids are into it? No, it's a VIDEO game. Yeah no, I should have said. I can see her from here, just walking down crooked hallways on the TV while these LIGHTS... always HUMMING.
Researching carnie & circus slang for a thing and found this one, which is charming:
Playing to the Haircuts — Playing last on the bill (in other words, playing to the backs of the audience members as they left.) In its worst construction, performing so badly that the audience walked out in boredom and disgust.
I was given a beautiful hour in the fall of last year and I wasted it, I wasted it in sloth and ignorance and so it has been taken from me again
and I am lying in bed, I will learn nothing from this

of course I have 2-factor authentication
factor 1 - an exact clone of myself, kept suspended in oxygenated fluid
factor 2 - in its pruned fingers, a soggy notebook containing all my passwords
My lawyer says this a completely different IP, a distinct work. He has knocked holes in three of the walls in this apartment, which he says is "doing research into intellectual property law" so if we could stop talking about this, that would be great, because sooner or later I'm worried he's going to hit something load-bearing. He's just swinging the hammer around and repeating "I'm a legal tornado" and "I can sue you until you are mud" and at some point, I have to sleep.
My lawyer says this is different. He is saying this while eating raw chicken bones and every time I ask where these bones are coming from, he asserts lawyer-client privilege and says I can go to jail if I keep asking, but the crunching is getting on my nerves and I don't see where he's pulling these bones from, his pants don't have pockets.
two draculas in a competitive lounge off, draped over furniture, and a panel of expert draculas hold up the scores like it's the olympics but for wearing ruffled clothes and looking tired and bored

A yeti, captured by humans, escapes and goes to medical school. This fall: DOCTOR YETI.
NURSE: Doctor, this patient has a sprained wrist.
DOCTOR YETI: Pack them tightly in the snow and check on them in the spring.
NURSE: Oooo-kay.
DOCTOR YETI! His cultural frames of reference are all based on an animal-level existence in a snowy mountainous region! He was also really terrible at school. Tuesdays, 8 p.m.!
Rogue cop storms into the chief’s office, sets down his badge and gun. As he exits, a clown comes in, just as angry, giant shoes flapping with fury, sets down her giant horn and seltzer bottle, storms out.
Vampire hunter comes in, sets down a carved stake and a crucifix, glares at the chief, then storms out, shoulder banging into a knight who’s dropping off a sword and the One True Grail. Chief doesn’t back down.
“This is a nation of laws,” he says. “I got the mayor breathing down my neck.”
The floor is closed. No further responses are required, or desired. We have established canonical truth.
Good thinking, good thinking, but it was TWO characters who did it, in short order.
An ace bounty hunter AND a punk kid who was following him as part of a plan to murder him in revenge for a series of personal slights.
yeah, the screenshot ended up elsewhere in the thread, in response to someone else, but here it is again. The two cowboys weren't covering the nose, as you can see, but tying it behind the nose.
Someone else thought it was a "bosal" or bit replacement.
