I’m no Taylor Swift fan and I get some Swifties are annoying but do you know who is more irritating than Swifties? The grown adults getting mad and complaining about people going to Taylor Swift concerts and posting about their experience on instagram and acting like it’s the end of music. Like why are you so mad that someone else spent their OWN money on something they are going to enjoy???

HOLY SHIT INVISIBLE SUN IS COMING BACK AND IT'S MY FAVORITE RPG OF ALL TIME PLEASE BACK IT SO I (or we, I guess) CAN GET THE WELLSPRING:

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/monte-cook-games/invisible-sun-return-of-the-black-cube#top

For those of you unfamiliar with Invisible Sun, it's an rpg where every single player is a spell caster of some variety, each with their own unique way of interacting with magic.

The Vances are the most traditional spellcasters, but they eschew spell lists in favor of literally filling a grid with spell cards, representing their limited cognitive space being taken up by spells. They get more space, and literally bigger spells as you progress.

Weavers take two concepts and combine them to produce an effect, very much like Ars Magica or Mage: The Ascension, if you're familiar with those. They get the ability to combine more concepts together, and to have mastery over more concepts as they progress.

Makers are this game's artificer, and they have a robust system for making quirky magic items that have fun, interesting, unique side effects or downsides every time you use them. Their progression is the most straight forward by the numbers "the things you make are more powerful and you're better at making them" of the bunch, but the system lets you, for instance, make a gun out of the body of a dead(?) god, so I'll give this a pass.

Lastly, there are the Goetics, who summon and bind otherworldly creatures to their wills. This takes the form of a conversation and negotiation with your GM over what you have to do for your bound creature, and what exactly they do for you in exchange. If you've ever played a warlock and felt like patrons weren't a big enough deal, this is an entire "class" that lets those relationships (yes, plural) take center stage.

The entire system feels very much like Cypher system 2.0, with a d10 dice pool system with a straight forward level of difficulty to hit, very much like the levels of difficulty in base cypher system, just made easier to manage. It even uses the "I'm an Adjective Noun who Verbs" character structure from Cypher system, here made much more interesting by the addition of a funky little xp system.

Invisible Sun has one of the most interesting advancement systems I've ever seen: aside from normal, average, "you do a thing, you get xp" system, here called "Acumen" (used to increase your stats and skills) there is a separate xp system related to good and bad things happening to your character, called "Joy" and "Despair" respectively. You combine one Joy with one Despair to get a "Crux" which is the xp currency you need to advance your class and focus abilities. This incentivizes players to not only let bad things happen to them, but to SEEK THEM OUT, which is huge! Players often think they want to win all the time, but they don't actually want that, it makes for a boring narrative. This is one of the very few systems I've seen incentivize this story structure, and I'm absolutely in love with it.

Lastly, because the game focuses so heavily on Magic, it has the only system for simulating the ebbs and flows of magic I've seen done well! This involves "The Path of Suns" and the "Sooth deck" which is the in game name for a specific pattern of laying out what amounts to tarot cards that make magic dynamic, interesting, and unpredictable in a way I've never seen before, and rarely since. (Pathfinder's Secrets of Magic is the only other supplement I can think of, and that was almost 5 years after this game came out)

Anyway, I can't recommend this game enough, the systems are unique, the vibes are immaculate, and it's so fuckin WEIRD in the best way.

Family Switch Premiere - The Grove (November 29, 2023)

Thank you Emma Myers and Hunter Doohan for coming over and taking a picture. I adore Wednesday and I adore you both! 🖤🖤🖤

I had a “general” ticket to the screening but even though I was there early, they reached capacity before I got to go in, so I just got to watch the red carpet and then see them after the screening. Meeting Emma and Hunter and getting to see Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, Brady Noon, McG, and Xochitl Gomez made my day. Now after that really fun but chaotic day, I’m going to watch #familyswitch in the comfort of my home. 🏠🫶

The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Surprisingly much better than the first movie. This movie is so, so stupid but I adored it. I’m also a big fan of any horror movie revolving around cult-y things, and this one was a good way to watch a bunch of characters I only cared about a little bit more die for a second time.

I think Jenna Ortega was a fantastic addition to a C+/B- list cast. She brings a certain nihilistic je ne sais quoi that I adore, and this was a better balance of her character’s quirkiness than in the series Wednesday, something that I have only vicariously watched through scenes that have been posted to TikTok.

You should watch this film if:

you enjoy dumb horror movies

you can get past the cringey dialogue

the only horror movies can watch are the ones with poorly produced gore / heavy CGI gore

Titles similar to this:

The Babysitter (2017) (obviously)

Plan 9 from Outer Space (1986) (vintage, space version of cheesy horror)

The Barbarian (2022) (I’m sorry but the creature in this movie made me laugh as hard as some of parts in this film)
