I'm Re-listening To Within The Wires While At Work This Fall And Season 4 Just Started...

I'm re-listening to Within The Wires while at work this fall and season 4 just started...

I have always assumed that we, the listener character, were Sigrid. It always made sense to me.

I have no reason to believe that. Today I realized... we, the listener character, might not be Sigrid!

Who are we!?!

I got to play Grant Howitt's Fucked Up Little Man at the last Indiemeet / London Indie RPG Meetup! I have never played a darksouls so every choice I made in this game was influenced by cultural osmosis. My fucked up little guy was a tooth enthusiast with a wet cough who knew a lot of gross and dangerous shortcuts. And I took the record for fastest death of The Damned One – I tried diving straight back into the acid pit we crawled out of post-resurrection and rolled a 1, perishing immediately

And I was pretty proud of the map area I drew, a broken staircase guarded by a phalanx of soldier mummies! Drawing is not a skill I've put a lot of points into, but maps are stylised and so is Dark Souls, and that helped, and I feel like I found creative ways round my own constraints

Foyles charged my card today, which I think means my copy of the Dracula Daily book is on the way, with this my heritage Dracula Daily post reproduced in its pages in print

Professor Van Helsing?? M.D., D.Ph., D.Lit.??? ETC., ETC.????

Nothing I knew about Van Helsing from pop culture gave me the slightest indication he was a career academic, this changes my conception of the man considerably

if you are a fan of the poem "what resembles the grave but isn't," you might be interested to know that the poet, anne boyer, resigned her position at the new york times magazine today, and her letter is worth reading in its entirety.
