Starboard Vineyard Tours! It's out! We talked about Seo-Young Chu's Do Metaphors Dream of Literal Sleep?: A Science-Fictional Theory of Representation, undoubtedly the most evocative title of a book we've covered. Discover the power of lyric mimesis here!
This was an Eidolon Idea I had roaming around my head when I ran a New Wave themed adventure. It wasn't always gonna be a silly little spider guy, but then I thought about how funny a puzzle piece would look as the head of a jumping spider.
I'm not sure if I'll go back to running this mini-campaign again, but perhaps there's another way this Eidolon will see the light of day!
My friends and I recently did a short Eidolon actual play campaign for our Glee podcast (Loser Like Me). @sparkyyoungupstart ran it! I drew all of our characters! Please go give it a listen if you like sharks, shenanigans, and/or shitty teenagers.
Left to right, we’ve got:
Lexi Morganstern and Stellar Stellar (played by Jenna @discord-inc )
Anna King and 9 to 5 (played by me!)
Dolly Luna and Tear You Apart (played AND designed! by @girlnextvore )
Min Holden and The Littlest Things (played by Raena)
Oh I was on a podcast and got to play Eidolon this is my character Diabolical "Dolly" Luna.
You can listen to me play her on the "loser like me podcast"
What kind of beetle is solo?
scarabaeus satyrus, a species of scarab noted for its ability to navigate by the glow of the Milky Way.
^ Original Solo. Don't bulling him.
Now if you’re anything like me you’ve been tirelessly working to answer this one question that has kept me up for so many nights: if Wallace of Wallace & Gromit fame had an Eidolon, what would it be?
The playbook choice is simple, Wallace would be an Alchemist. Now most people would assume the power would be cheese related (Big Cheese by Nirvana being a great name too) but the man loves cheese too much to use it for violence! Plus, turning everything into cheese? Is it one kind or many kinds of cheese? It’s too convoluted for such a simple man. I’d also believe he has quite enough cheese to go around, so why make more? You’d just ruin the cheese economy!
Well that got me thinking about the other accoutrements that go hand in hand with cheese, and what’s the one he seems to run out of? The one he forgets? THE CRACKERS!!!
That’s why I believe Wallace’s eidolon would be [Puttin’ on the Ritz] which can transform any flat surface it touches into crackers. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Okay breaking my no-posting-during-finals rule to say that Aisha Laborn fans should really listen to Eidolon MONTREAL. It has another sterling entry in the "characters who go through life constantly being forgotten by everyone because of their powers" niche. Aisha and Illana Ramsey need to get together and shoot the shit about having to deal with their powerset. It also plays with Worm's trope of "powers that work by transferring things between parallel universes" to really interesting results.
Its a 4-episode actual play miniseries in one of my favorite RPG systems, the first episode just came out on the public feed and its really spectacular. Give it a listen if you like riffs on the SCP foundation and anomaly-of-the-week procedurals. Or if the idea of a bunch of people with Jojo Stands based on of Montreal songs appeals to you.

Since Grey isn't using their tumblr anymore, they gave me the go-ahead to post the art I commissioned from them on my tumblr instead.
I've had this scene from Eidolon Disco 22 stuck in my head ever since we recorded it, and I'm so incredibly happy with how it turned out. Grey did a gorgeous job! Go follow them on Cohost and listen to Eidolon Playtest!

Love this bastard. Love this bastard!
Good morning and happy Starboard Vineyard Tours day! This month we read a grab bag of works all on the same topic: Frankenstein. Listen to us discuss four different perspectives on one of our favorite novels!
Tickets are live now for my choir's winter concert! TRANScend is an all-trans/gnc choir and we will be performing Saturday, December 16, at 7:30 EST, at St. John's in the Village in NYC. Not a New Yorker? No problem - streaming tickets are available at the link. I hope you'll join us in celebrating the winter season!
This is so dumb. Joe Biden is not invading Gaza, Joe Biden can’t just press a button and make world events end. America is not actually the main character in this situation!
The United States is Israel’s patron on the world stage and the primary source of its international legitimacy. The leverage Joe Biden has to end this genocide is tremendous and he is purposefully declining to use it, but do go on scolding Arab people who are watching their families being slaughtered as the president of the United States does nothing.
“The Americans insisted and we are not in a place where we can refuse them. We rely on them for planes and military equipment. What are we supposed to do? Tell them no?” Gallant responds
Biden literally does have a "stop Israel" button he can press at any moment he wants btw
