This is a find-your-people post for TTRPG folk.

Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.

This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.

Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.

REEL, 10 months ago to Dragonlance

Contrary to much of the #lore at the time, Arne Argentum was never an official member of REEL & didn’t play on any of the releases she is credited on. She was just a cool acid kid who looked good in the photos & wanted to be in the band. She’s difficult to refuse. #folklore #hauntology #acid #PsychedelicDuelling #psychedelics #psychedelic #kosmische #krautrock

Concretism, 11 months ago to random

As it's been revealed that Meta's new social media platform is to be hilariously named 'Threads', here's my 2018 album based on the UK's Cold War civil defence preparations:

For those of you unaware of the link, Threads was a brutally realistic BBC drama from 1984 about a nuclear attack on the UK. It traumatised a generation.

👋 Let’s try this again: popping back after all the shenanigans on Twitter.

For folks new to me, I'm Andy, and I'm a painter of nocturnal cityscape paintings, predominantly of Sheffield, UK. [see photos]

Again, two paintings are shown. On the left, Andy holds a very quiet and still painting of a lone street light surrounded by shadow and mist. The second shows a house in darkness, silhouetted against a brooding dark sky. A street light sits at the front of the building and is surrounded by scaffolding, its light shows the building is being repaired.
On the left, a painting shows a view of tramtracks going into the distance. On the horizon, a blueish bright light contrasts against the much darker sky and shadows of trees, pylons, and fencing. On the right, a bus stop fills the picture. The angles are quite sharp, so the painting has a gothic expressionist feel. A bright light lights the bus stop from behind. But the rest of the background that fills the picture is dark and half formed.
The painting on the left shows step leading up to some kind of enclosed metal bridge.the steps are surrounded by wooden fencing and metal handrails that come together making the whole picture look skeleton like. A warm light shines from the left, a bluish ligh sits on the right, both give the scene a strange warm, pink/purple glow. The painting on the right shows a tall, looming building in dark silhouette against a night sky. Surrounding it are much lower buildings and city street lights. The contrast between the building's size and style is huge. A strange gothic feeling of looming castles is evoked though what is seen is contemporary.

I'm sorting through the historical archives. Hundreds of years old, these electronic music 'records' have been dated to the early 21st century...

It's very possible that the Pearl & Dean ident was one of the first cultural artefacts that triggered the nostalgic interest that would became #hauntology. By demand, the music cue (Asteroid by Pete Moore), started to appear on late-90s CD compilations of incidental music alongside fondly remembered kids' TV themes and 1970s porn film soundtrack funk. https://youtu.be/_I9Uo724oLw?t=172

I knew Cluster from their 1977 collaboration with Brian Eno, but I didn't know this album. The first track sounds like early Boards of Canada. The changes are uncanny. And yet this is 1974! Just take a listen: https://youtu.be/1Pzy7qmonM0

I'm thinking about launching Kitschflix, a #hauntology streaming service. I've already acquired the broadcast rights to dozens and dozens of popular TV series...
