7 Things That Make You Look Older Than You Really Are
1) Not getting enough sleep
2) Overindulging in alcohol
3) Accidentally referring to your friends by the names of the ancestors they resemble.
4) Ignoring horoscopes because “All the stars move anyway, so who cares.”
5) Enjoying swing music.
6) The section of your wardrobe made from woven reeds and lizard pelts.
7) At every opportunity, you mention “This all used to be underwater” while gesturing at everything.

The trap is no longer set.
But for one fine day, it led to a Discord called A Cask of Amontillado where the only text chat room was called #a-small-space-behind-a-brick-wall and the only emoji was a pile of bricks.
MorbiVs 5: Dark Side of the Morb
The moon has run out of blood and the nation mourns as our astronauts send sad videos back to Earth. That is, until Dr. Morbius arrives on a bat-filled rocket to kick ass and fight Moon Wolf, a wolf who is actually a moon.

M4bius IV: Please Sir Can I Have Some Morb
A time-travel accident sends Dr. Morbius to ancient London where Jack the Dickens is on an orphan crime spree and the only thing that can stop him is if he had less blood.
Mor3ius III: Morby Dick
When a white whale bites off Dr. Morbius' leg, it's up to his ol' pal Dr. Ahab to save his life with a grafted bat leg that gives him double blood powers and teaches him to swim.
Morbiius 2: More-bius.
When the Mayor of New York declares all bats illegal, Dr. Morbius must once again don the cowl as Dr. Morbius, blood spook for hire.

boy, I wish I knew what to do with all this rare, delicious Amontillado I've acquired
I don't think I signed up for the same Daily Dracula list as everyone else because every email I get keeps asking why I haven't made it to the castle yet and expects me to know more about real estate in London than I actually do.

If you ever get the idea that you might want to stream any RPG thing I've written, let me know.
I like to think I'm approachable, and I can hook you up with art assets download keys for giveaways, etc. etc.
(Historically, I only find out my games were streamed after it's already happened, so...)
Through the open window, I can sometimes hear the distant gobble of wild turkeys.
Makes me laugh, every time.
What are they getting up to out there.

You*: Tommy used to work on the docks...
Me**: Oh snap, now THIS is a story hook. He USED to work on the docks? I bet he's up to something even MORE exciting now, huh? I'm listening, I'm listening!

A project I have to write sometime in the near term is a supernatural mystery set at a race track, for the Brindlewood Bay RPG.
My brother told me about a terrifying flayed man-waterhorse hybrid from Scottish folklore so now I'm wondering if I can work it in without making things TOO spooky for what's supposed to be a "cozy mystery" genre piece with a touch of the supernatural thrown in.

Another quick question for people who speak and write in languages other than English: Do you get upset when people use translation software to reply to your posts if they are not native speakers/writers? Why or why not?
If y'all could boost this post so that I can get more responses from people who speak/write English and at least one other language, that would be great! #CommunityDevelopment
