Trying to write banter for my characters. It is as hard as writing action sequences. They both require careful timing. Now I know why Hemingway wrote the way he did. #amwriting
One of my #dnd players just described my DM style as "60% Santa, 40% Krampus". I might need to adjust that ratio a bit...
#MST3K Season 13 is an interesting beast. I can't think of many programs that threw off the chains of network executives, and got MORE family-friendly. The in-theater jokes are as good or better than ever, and they've found some prime bad movies as well.
The rest of the internet can go home, I have officially found the most important web page ever: https://mst3k.fandom.com/wiki/Dave_Ryder
Another fun thing to do as a #DM
Create vague history. Players love filling in the gaps. I just sent my players a letter sketching in the details of an ancient band of adventurers (actually a bunch of my own characters from other campaigns) and they are FIRED UP to follow in the old party's footsteps. #dnd #ttrpg #amwriting
One of the things I miss about the Google plus interface was how easy it was to search for/find & create small communities of interest.
I wish there was a way to do that more simply in the fediverse.
Would love to find more #writers, especially #specfic (#sciencefiction & #fantasy) writers.
There are some hashtags that can help us find one another - #amwriting & #amwritingscifi for example, but I don't thing many folks use them.
So, where are my spec fic writers at???
(Boosts welcome!)
Pat Monahan on his career:
"no one’s really thinking, 'Hey, I wonder what Train’s doing right now? I wonder what kind of record they’re going to make?' If I don’t bet on me, then nobody will."
Train just dropped a new album. It's cheesy, silly, soppy...and I freaking love it. The retro vibe is working, the breezy summery feeling is great, and who couldn't use a silly and affirming song to bop along to once in a while?
I can't help it, this is infectious.

MST3K Season 13
They changed "Gypsy" to "GPC". It almost sounds the same if you like, squint your ears, but not quite. I'm guessing this was done to be sensitive to people who have been marginalized/criminalized for centuries. I can be slightly confused for a season in service of that.
Other than that, the few episodes I've watched of season 13 so far follow the pattern of really good riffing and really painful host sketches.
