The Keeper: The HPLHS props finally arrived. I’ve got a corkboard with pins and string, my notes for chapter one are ready, and you’ve all made some great investigators. It took time, effort, and money, but it’ll be worth it.

I know my players have seen the availability post. They all thought, “I’ll answer it in a minute,” and then POOF, right into the ADHD time vortex.
I’d be annoyed, but a GM is currently awaiting MY availability, and once I finish this post, I’ll answer it in a minute…

With a little help from a Companion, we have unboxed the incredible heavy and well-wrought Ars Magica: Definitive Edition by @atlasgames.bsky.social. It put us in the mood to take a short stroll down memory lane, unseemly in its brevity.

Tonight’s Hyperborea:
As the late desert sun began to set over Xambaala, my cryomancer came to regret knowing Latin when horrid sounds rose from the sands, sounds the locals attributed to creatures they called the Anthropophagi.

After spending an entire day testing out Audacity 4 while trying to edit a podcast episode, I can unequivocally say it is nowhere near fucking ready for prime time. It’s a bloated, unstable, RAM devouring, constantly crashing, piece of shite that nobody should waste a single minute on.

We returned to Impossible Landscapes with our agents @jaredlogan.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social @discourseminis.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social and I think the day visit to The Dorchester House went well. They lasted until 40 minutes before visiting hours ended before getting thrown out.👋

I would much rather look at a YouTube thumbnail from a photoshop amateur than an AI one.
Hell, my immediate distaste for AI thumbnails only encourages me to never improve my crappy Photoshop skills. I already get enough grief from bozos who accuse my poorly photo-chopped images of being AI slop.

I have a joke about Trail of Cthulhu, but everyone guesses the punchline too easily.

I can’t believe I’d never seen this quote before, but looking at my generation, especially my fellow gamers, it captures something I’ve often felt:
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

A friend sent me this map of the Los Angeles area divided as the Five Boroughs from New York City. It’s funny, but as one who lives in the Inland Empire, it’s more like the second map. 😅

Why does it take so long to edit a podcast?
To start:
1. Get a noise profile on the 4 hour track
2. Adjust as needed
3. Set the profile in noise reduction and apply
4. Get some groceries, read Gravity’s Rainbow, or workout
5. Repeat 1-3 for next track
6. Sleep, only three more tracks to go

After an extend hiatus, we return to Impossible Landscapes this Friday!
Will the agents find what they seek within the Dorchester House? Will they succumb to the strain of Carcosan influence? Will Agent Moist get out of paying for his coffee date with Nurse Voors?
Dread, horror, and terror await!

Thanks to @niamhcassandra.bsky.social, @druggeddwarf.bsky.social, and especially @sirlarkins.bsky.social for a fab game of Pendragon today. We had trials of friendship, unpronounceable Welsh names, and the secret ingredient in Noah’s wine. Episode to come, once we edit out most evidence of that. 😅

Just watched a video that described TTRPGs as “DnD and DnD-Likes” within its first five seconds. I clicked away so fast I may have pulled something, and will now spend my morning resisting the urge to plop a fold up chair out front and shake my first at imaginary kids getting too close to my lawn. 😅

I’ve realized why I don’t play video games as much anymore. I have a huge list of things I should be doing, but horde night is in one day, and that 1000 iron I need to finish upgrading my spike traps ain’t going to scavenge themselves. So what’s one more hour, maybe two…

Arriving at the rotting docks of the desert port of Xambaala, I return to Hyperborea alongside these pack of rogues, and witness a city that is more thoroughly consumed by corruption, than by the sands that are slowly reclaiming it. 🤘🏻😊
