True Detective - Season 4 Night Country has some great Delta Green vibes

This latest season (thought only 2 episodes in) seems to lean heavily in the cosmic horror direction. So far it feels like it could be a really cool Delta Green mission. Maybe they'll find a way to explain all the weirdness away, but for now I'm loving the mystery....

I think this is a great pickup, and good to have Huhi back on the spiritual successor to CLG.

Collections are definitely my new favorite thing, and at the moment I believe they're kbin exclusive.

Bundle of Holding: Blades in the Dark 2 Bundle (bundleofholding.com)

Time to plan a new heist, scoundrel, with this Blades in the Dark 2 Bundle. This new sequel to our December 2020 offer features the rulebook and play aids for the Blades in the Dark tabletop fantasy roleplaying game from One Seven Design Studio, along with many recent Forged in the Dark standalone games based on the Blades...

I have no association with this, but it seems that with the digital version of Blades in the Dark being ~$20, this seems like a good deal at $14.95 even if you don't want the extras that come with it.

RTR#29 Another boring update: Categories and bug fixes

Today, I wanted to introduce you to Categories - a new feature that is essentially a multi-mags view. A new tab will appear in the user panel where you can create categories (public or private) and then add magazines to them (local or remote). In the magazine listing, there will be another tab that will list public categories...

Awesome! Multireddit like functionality was what I was missing most, and Categories sounds like it will replace it nicely. Thanks!

Yeah, I favorited my private collection (not sure why I did that...) and it seems to have permanently made it public, no big deal in this case, but I feel bad 'squatting' on collection slug.

gibandaley,

Thanks! Looks like logged out the collection isn't accessible at kbin.social/c/collection-name anymore which is excellent, but is still accessible there when logged in (unexpected, though perhaps only accessible to my account, but I feel bad I might be squatting on a nice collection name) and is also accessible at kbin.social/u/gibandaley/c/collection-name (expected)

I haven't used it, but there's also Mythic Table that kickstartered spring 2021.

I finished Psychonauts for the first time a couple of months ago, and just started Psychonauts 2 last night. Only a couple of hours in, but really enjoying it so far.

Anybody have a source for mythos tomes outside of the core books?

Looking for something themed around Hastur short of.. the actual mythic tome "The King in Yellow". Was going to take a stab and reskinning one of the other tomes, and trading out a few spells. But thought I would check that there were not any other cool wells of material to tap into here.

Not sure if this is the kind of thing you were looking for, but Cthulhu Eternal has some resources. It's a different system (based of delta green engine I believe), but should be easy to convert.

Alan Wake on PS4. Just started it, but enjoying it so far.

This is great! That's the only Star Trek related video they have, but there's a bunch of other great 8 bit covers from them: https://diode.zone/c/phalio_music/videos

I'm right in the middle of a DS9 rewatch so this stinks.

How many RPG books are too many?

I just had a moment where I downsized my RPG book collection. Do you ever weed out your collection? I find myself becoming a bit of a headless chicken, sometimes more interested in what the promise is that a book might hold, rather than diving in deep into the ones I already have. This superficial engagement with many books I...

I don't see myself ever downsizing unless I completely lose interest in RPGs. Collecting the books is also a hobby I enjoy. I just need to spend some time/money on a better shelf/display

Phanpy, it's a web app (pwa), but you can add to your home screen. In my opinion it handles threads better than any other app I've tried.

Descent: Freespace and it's sequel are all time favorites

DuckDuckGo, but I've been testing Qwant (also privacy focused) lately as well.

It would be nice to eventually have functionality like multireddit where we could individually in our own accounts combine communities from different instances into a single (specific just to our own account) community.
