Season’s Frights 2024
The 2024 fright season is upon us, and what better time to share some of my favourite creepy, unsettling, horror or horror-adjacent media?
I Want Your Bite
Alternatively titled “The Bachelor, but if The Bachelor was a vampire” the game very much fits its inspiration (or at least, my impression of it, having never seen the show) - it is good, light-hearted fun with a competitive edge that by no means results in players having to work against each other, something I deeply appreciate!
Scare BnB
Did I first think of the housing nightmare that is the short-term rental industry? Yes. Did I think of a playthrough where your relationship to the owner is antagonistic and you’re scaring them out? Absolutely!
Spring 2024: Atlanta
Do you have a ranked list of least favourite elevators? I do. These ones are at the top, or at least they are until the elevator at the venue in Washington. We’ll get to that one.
Rescue Rainbow City
From Awfully Queer Heroes comes Rescue Rainbow City [here], a level 3-12 adventure for Dungeons & Dragons 5E and Pathfinder 2E. With over 40 unique city locations, 25 NPCs, and 50 monsters your party is in for quite the treat as they try to take back the utopic Rainbow City.

Strange things keep happening in the town’s off season, but local adults are so focused on preparing for next summer that they simply ignore or write off these strange occurrences.
Spring 2024: The Journey So Far
“Oh my god!” I exclaim loudly, causing several people to glance over at me. Understandable, that tone of shock isn't necessarily what you want to hear right before getting on a plane.
A Cozy Caper
In A Cozy Caper you've been invited to a party hosted by a winter fairy who likes to gather everyone who has interested him over the course of the last year.
