StartPlayingJoin The Derelict: GURPS Space - Discord - GURPS | StartPlaying GamesIn the far future, the peoples of the Sapient Species Consortium have discovered an ancient derelict station on the edge of known space. Representatives from the member races of the governing council of the Consortium have been selected to form an archaeological survey team to explore the abandoned starbase and determine its secrets: its origin, its purpose, who built it, and why. Are the team prepared for what they will find there? A sci-fi dungeon crawl is the start to a sweeping campaign about discovery, politics, war, survival, and horror on the frontier of the explored galaxy. Play as the humanoid Cephalopod people called the Coleans, the fungal and emotionless Greys, the four armed warrior Kiboko, the sly and stealthy Saurians, the enigmatic Machine intelligences of the Technic League, or the crystalline folk of the Pellucid Aggregate, as well as any number of baseline, genetically modified, or otherwise enhanced humans.

Habt ihr mitbekommen, wie #RobertEggers mit seinem »Nosferatu« (2024) dafür gesorgt hat, dass sich nun viele mit ›klassischer deutscher #GothicHorror-Kultur‹ beschäftigen?
So viele Texte und Videos von Leuz über z.B. Weimarer Film und deutsche Dunkelromantik, in vielen Sprachen.

Jüngste Genossin: Teilzeithobbitine Jess hat schon Vampir/Nosferatu-Essay gebracht, und rockt für ihren neusten Beitrag über (unzensierte) Gebrüder-Grimm-Märchen immer noch Weimar-Noir-Style.

Finally got around to seeing Robert Eggers' #Nosferatu in the theater. And I'm really glad I did.

Also watching a film like this in an old vintage single screen theater, kind of lent itself to the atmosphere.

The way Count Orlock's (Bill Skarsgard) voice and presence is all encompassing,

The cinematography and set pieces, I haven't been this immersed in a film in a while.

Favorite Character - #GretaTheCat, of course :)

I just finished #reading #TheSouthernBookClubsGuideToSlayingVampires by #GradyHendrix. This is the first book in a long time that has kept me up reading WAY too late. In spite of having a kid at home sick and needing my care, I finished this book in less than 3 days.

On the story: while the bloodsucker in question is, indeed, horrifically awful, the character I most despised was the MC's husband.
