T Minus 3 Hours

T minus 3 hours

The T stands for Thee Horrors

A selfie of Matt by Matt. Mid thirties, white, with buzzed dark hair. Wearing a loose linen shirt and a spiked red leather bracer on one forearm, and clear-rimmed glasses. You can just about make out a kiss of eyeliner and a heart-shaped application of red lipstick.

A clearer look at my look for part 1 of Heart: The City Beneath, streamed on Actual Play UK the other week. In @merelyroleplayers I'm just a voice – since this game is on camera I thought I'd make more of an effort and try to match the feel of the setting!

The bracer is by Skinbound on Etsy; and I marshalled my extremely basic makeup skills into something that ended up too subtle for the camera, especially compared to Fiona and @maddyisabstract, who are, to be fair, consummate pros.

Lessons learned, and if you tune in for part 2 next Friday 8 March, you'll actually be able to tell I've done something with my face 😄

Heart part 2: 8th of March, 8pm UK/2pm Central, at twitch.tv/actualplayuk

fanfic writers might prefer the cozy setting of a coffee shop because there’s a baseline familiarity, so characters’ interpersonal dynamics, rather than the minutiae of the setup, can be explored.

A digital painting showing Gwen Liu, a young chinese woman with a serious expression. Her hands are held slightly in front of her, and covered in blood, which has soaked into the cuffs of her sweater. Looming behind and above her is Queen Guinevere, a blond white woman in a gold dress and crown.

Shujun (Gwen) Liu | Queen Guinevere

from @camlannpod, which I have been obsessing over - this mental image of Gwen with this myth looming over her, haunted by her Name and the role it cast her in but unable to let go of it, grimly dragging herself forward, was the one that set me off on this art kick.

an Actual Play podcast where they do 20 versions of every d20 roll, for every possible outcome, then as you’re listening the outcome is randomly selected for you, creating branching narratives whereever the outcome is different enough to cause the players to make different decisions

the funniest thing about ttrpgs is that you can create a guy and say "his name is blorbo bleebus. he sucks severely. i hope that many misfortunes befall blorbo bleebus. he does not deserve to be happy." and at least one of your friends will immediately jump in to say "noooo... don't bully blorbo bleebus... i love blorbo bleebus..."
