I've made my personal Discord server open to anyone who wants to stop by and hang out. We mostly talk about rpgs and related nerd ephemera, but off-topic chit-chat is welcome as well. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We also try to keep the server open for people who want to workshop their game content or put together a group to get a game going. I try to regularly run games, so if you've been wanting to play and haven't found anybody willing to DM--roll up.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Remember playing games instead of just talking about them? Great times, right? The server just had a major refresh, which means there's plenty of room to start some new conversations.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://discord.gg/QFCDDJ6Agb">Click here for the invite link</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The rules for the server are pretty basic. If you show up looking to be chill and not be an asshole, you won't have a problem.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1. Be cool. It should go without saying that if you are racist, sexist, transphobic, etc., you will be banned. If you are rude to me in particular, you will be banned. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">2. Adult content and adult language are permitted on the server. If you post explicit images (genitals, gore) please be considerate and put them behind a spoiler tag.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">3. We support creative work regardless of content. If you see something that makes you uncomfortable, navigate away. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">4. This server is open to discussion of rpgs in general. We don’t support the idea that there is One True Way to play. No edition warring, no grogging, no indie snobbery, etc. If you have an axe to grind against a certain kind of game or style of play, do it elsewhere. If you can’t engage without frothing rage, find a different conversation to join.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">5. Abide by the Discord community guidelines, found here: https://discord.com/guidelines</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">6. If you have a problem, contact a moderator via tag or private message.</span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/05226738666709754348' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/05226738666709754348' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Jack Guignol</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://talesofthegrotesqueanddungeonesque.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-totgad-discord-is-open.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://talesofthegrotesqueanddungeonesque.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-totgad-discord-is-open.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2022-03-16T22:27:00-04:00'>10:27 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1248343450'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5454587140887591817&postID=425279254895605929&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5454587140887591817&postID=425279254895605929&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5454587140887591817&postID=425279254895605929&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Coincidence? Probably. But this book is an amazing hit of nostalgia, even though we only played <i>Vampire</i> a couple of times in high school. Maybe it's time to pull a "reverse OSR guy" in which I, a <i>D&D</i> player of many years, pack it in and make a swerve toward the White Wolf Renaissance and pretend like I was here rolling d10s the whole time.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">In retrospect, it's hard to view <i>Vampire</i> as anything other than a sea-change. It isn't the wild "storygame" revolution that people sometimes paint it as, but the art and emphasis on style had a tremendous impact on the gaming scene for the rest of the 90s.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfAFI0jsDKKvA1UDI3EWz9LB6UJCULBUe0QH5bLm3SwxzJ6qKDp7VgaP7aMIrB5tgHjPAUFvtJ_WlQ9-jGuCvYIA0o6_BaHtZMBxOc4NUq81Jwdf85YpcMEPAhqtPT-x8MPsNMDW8v9hhsbuw2Xy6OS0IjT5m07B8xfXbDTFpika2tVTuvLPhvcpYL=s2560" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1668" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfAFI0jsDKKvA1UDI3EWz9LB6UJCULBUe0QH5bLm3SwxzJ6qKDp7VgaP7aMIrB5tgHjPAUFvtJ_WlQ9-jGuCvYIA0o6_BaHtZMBxOc4NUq81Jwdf85YpcMEPAhqtPT-x8MPsNMDW8v9hhsbuw2Xy6OS0IjT5m07B8xfXbDTFpika2tVTuvLPhvcpYL=s320" width="209" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Joseph Delaney, <i>Wulf's Bane</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the <i>Brother Wulf </i>books are never going to capture the magic of Joseph Delaney's <i>Last Apprentice</i> series, they're still fun little reads set in a world of witches, monsters, and the magical folk who deal with them. This one's got a bit of everything: time travel, tulpas, shape-changing, and a bit of old-fashioned god slaying for good measure. I'm definitely looking forward to the third book in this series, particularly after I found out that Alice gets to narrate at least half of it! I'm looking forward to that in part because the weakness of the <i>Brother Wulf</i> books, at least as I perceive it, is that the characterization of the newer characters just isn't as rich as that in <i>The Last Apprentice</i> books.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaP-7JPKorC_bGe8KB2ijOp4rgQavskJK5UGE874Xhi-CHvZQO-5947rtE6ocQwK8z0LWOptBA0PuYQO_2yBdf3WsCXKOMnTGmGlslEmM-OWmHZmOzEyBpSa83sT-V8X7K6WE5SeUG28MUkGI1CjpmcMvGzGyKoXJW2JWh0mWlvR4QB4KvFaHJoebE=s6000" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4050" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaP-7JPKorC_bGe8KB2ijOp4rgQavskJK5UGE874Xhi-CHvZQO-5947rtE6ocQwK8z0LWOptBA0PuYQO_2yBdf3WsCXKOMnTGmGlslEmM-OWmHZmOzEyBpSa83sT-V8X7K6WE5SeUG28MUkGI1CjpmcMvGzGyKoXJW2JWh0mWlvR4QB4KvFaHJoebE=s320" width="216" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Nightmare Alley</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a huge Guillermo del Toro fan, I was really looking forward to seeing <i>Nightmare Alley</i>, but I assumed it was going to be a good long while before I got to lay eyes on it since I'm not particularly keen on spending two and a half hours in a theater at the moment. Lo and behold, it came to HBO Max much sooner than I could have anticipated.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The movie has a lot to recommend it: the first chunk of it follows Stanton as he ingratiates himself into the carnie life and romances the beautiful Molly away from her ersatz family. In the second half, Stanton gets himself ridiculously in over his head, and it's obvious to everyone but Stanton. He and Molly have been performing as a psychic act for the monied elite of Buffalo, NY, but things take a turn when he begins to pass himself off as a genuine medium and becomes involved with a cold-hearted psychologist. You can see the hammer falling on his sordid little deceptions a mile away, but I can't fault the tension of its drop.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_Nk3BaJKWMutpjcDSc4LAdPhBVIuUZxEz96wIXBwWpIu0F0pqbIBmrKHDar_Qzz0bnZCpvlq5dq63UPz-sM7_m_fo1R687cBtgb6Cx__fOG9Kj9jUd66s5LpkM0F89fc5UDMM10se4hcKxFzsNQ9s4kLTgtDcOfKw-9gAn8XKjGG9PM7SO-aQoNER=s1200" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_Nk3BaJKWMutpjcDSc4LAdPhBVIuUZxEz96wIXBwWpIu0F0pqbIBmrKHDar_Qzz0bnZCpvlq5dq63UPz-sM7_m_fo1R687cBtgb6Cx__fOG9Kj9jUd66s5LpkM0F89fc5UDMM10se4hcKxFzsNQ9s4kLTgtDcOfKw-9gAn8XKjGG9PM7SO-aQoNER=w200-h200" width="200" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hangman's Chair, <i>A Loner</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was previously unfamiliar with the Parisian band Hangman's Chair, but <i>A Loner</i> turned out to be a great onboarding point. I'd characterize their sound as mostly coming from the world of doom metal, but there are elements of shoegaze and post-metal in the mix as well.

I probably couldn't do it without Kobold Press's monster books. <i>Creature Codex</i> and the two <i>Tomes of Beasts </i>are great because not only do they add a lot of cool creatures that simply don't exist in baseline <i>D&D</i>, they also add creatures from more varied environments and creatures of types that have been a little neglected in the official offerings. Additionally, you really can't beat the surprise factor of an unexpected monster with abilities your players can't account for.

If you like pirates, this is a must read. It weaves figures from the Golden Age of Piracy in with its magical fancy, which includes voodoo, ghost ships, and spirits, resulting in a really great example of what Powers can do with his "secret history" style of fiction; because he hews so closely to the historical record, <i>On Stranger Tides</i> feels strangely plausible for a tale in which loa-empowered pirates square off against each other over the fate of a woman's immortal soul.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6gL32xynKpUOhQ85Y5iVdK7--MpwZtqxRcgiuM8JyABorHmJicO430Gc1alxHIbQNhH0RS_KX2vxEmPYbxoxY1IGdEdksMKoEb0sNLs2DeKL6Dk1xujqMGXTh5cQfhLaJYF6FdIxa0noSxA8tL2YyMPSI-81Mrilh-cpUrmlJbuH24Glv_0VuQQMl=s1280" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="829" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6gL32xynKpUOhQ85Y5iVdK7--MpwZtqxRcgiuM8JyABorHmJicO430Gc1alxHIbQNhH0RS_KX2vxEmPYbxoxY1IGdEdksMKoEb0sNLs2DeKL6Dk1xujqMGXTh5cQfhLaJYF6FdIxa0noSxA8tL2YyMPSI-81Mrilh-cpUrmlJbuH24Glv_0VuQQMl=s320" width="207" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>The Lost Citadel</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Lost Citadel</i> is a horror-fantasy themed setting for <i>5e D&D</i>. The content of this project was quickly overshadowed by controversy when it was revealed that the lead designer on it was a sex pest of some sort. Green Ronin, the publishers of <i>The Lost Citadel</i>, didn't help matters by being insanely combative in their public relations. To be honest, I forgot I even had this thing: I found it, still in the original shipping box, while cleaning out a closet. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The premise of <i>The Lost Citadel</i> is roughly "<i>The Walking Dead</i>-meets-<i>D&D</i>." Hordes of zombies have killed off most of the population; those who survive cower behind the walls of a dwarven citadel. Oh, and things didn't go too well for the dwarves either. Playing into the (somewhat tired) notion that "man is the real monster," human refugees have overthrown the dwarves and now use their erstwhile saviors as slaves. You can see where this is going. It's bleak. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The book cuts down on the various options open to players in most <i>D&D</i> games, whittling the races to a handful and substituting its own bespoke classes in place of the usual suspects. Magic is less prevalent in <i>The Lost Citadel</i> across the board. Most of the book is devoted to setting; I'm not sure I'd ever use this book as is, but I certainly have some ideas for how using it to spice up the new Falkovnia as presented in <i>Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft</i>.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWdGGbrZpa5Nay6BEpWd3ZZKgpcePdhgiPUT7ASrgjA5DJGoarUViKnmYQH9hOnqsIO_WhM8-DJlLEgaGSCgOIQqQeef5dHP86-s8PUBSpfMuxp68YUKRcOztjDFS4zpzE2GBlo1dYLohNmRdR5bcszSY0Vd19mX6mIgUAOooYyknutRbVAQuhL_jd=s1500" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWdGGbrZpa5Nay6BEpWd3ZZKgpcePdhgiPUT7ASrgjA5DJGoarUViKnmYQH9hOnqsIO_WhM8-DJlLEgaGSCgOIQqQeef5dHP86-s8PUBSpfMuxp68YUKRcOztjDFS4zpzE2GBlo1dYLohNmRdR5bcszSY0Vd19mX6mIgUAOooYyknutRbVAQuhL_jd=w200-h200" width="200" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Nocturna, <i>Daughters of the Night</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I come from an era where every other goth night was named "Nocturna," and even the cover of <i>Daughters of the Night</i> reminds me of that time period.

But from there we immediately crash into the depths of funereal doom. It's been nearly a decade since the last Funeral album, but they haven't lost their touch.

It sounds especially strong to me on <i>The Long Road North</i>, a disc that reminds of those rare occasions where you'd go to a hardcore show and encounter one band that stood out from the rest by being a bit more abstract, a little brainier, and dare I say leaning toward the epic. <i>The Long Road North</i> is the kind of release that will take time to fully digest, but I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being one of the best of the year. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtkHHy5pKh2ENzMKhXYusvxlvcXyufitjJkIKLzskBcyMJ8zHst-Tk9gKjHicvhwEeRZha5rYeH8v2BYP_Ln_lXPq5cjDGBYbh_TiIwkkd7OAEKtaEC3K404jdc6mQvsOMZD3HjZfwWuViqxd5L0_9FOWNpfnwmKQsHL_M-dCgggmL0rTfzA8hcnPM=s1250" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="812" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtkHHy5pKh2ENzMKhXYusvxlvcXyufitjJkIKLzskBcyMJ8zHst-Tk9gKjHicvhwEeRZha5rYeH8v2BYP_Ln_lXPq5cjDGBYbh_TiIwkkd7OAEKtaEC3K404jdc6mQvsOMZD3HjZfwWuViqxd5L0_9FOWNpfnwmKQsHL_M-dCgggmL0rTfzA8hcnPM=s320" width="208" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Marcus Sedgwick, <i>The Kiss of Death</i></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Kiss of Death</i> is a sequel of sorts to Marcus Sedgwick's <i>My Swordhand is Singing</i>, a book I read back in 2020. <i>The Kiss of Death</i> doesn't pick up where the previous book left off, nor does it share the same cast of characters. The action shifts from Transylvania to Venice, where two men have gone missing and their children, an apothecary in training and a gothy girl with a sharp tongue, band together to find them. What they discover is a mystery involving the mother of all vampires, a cult that has infiltrated the highest levels of the Church, and a grizzled hunter of the undead granted a terrible immortality by the enchanted sword he wields.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoyed the way <i>My Swordhand is Singing</i> delved back into the folklore of the vampire and the way it crafted a historical monster-hunting adventure. <i>The Kiss of Death</i> had a bit less of that vibe, though I did appreciate the Venetian setting and the new characters it presented. As an ending, it's a little loose--in this instance I think I would have preferred either a bigger finish or something more concrete--but I liked this one enough to pull the trigger on a few more of Sedgwick's books.<br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKBgvkptopRmpMZdQVPUlHVv0V9Epuxj67-_eRsKYCnUEwQc_B3An3AoTew8Hgnu5jVLCR36RGyTEv6PTzdoPo4PAWysX88ntXcPnObGb1Dkl0tB_1hPUnOEsX3lyDJbCDsM5lmfokjTFtyRY_xQouNSEVTcF0i2MK6cDBW6xk7grmRpSArcrGRawF=s3425" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2677" data-original-width="3425" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKBgvkptopRmpMZdQVPUlHVv0V9Epuxj67-_eRsKYCnUEwQc_B3An3AoTew8Hgnu5jVLCR36RGyTEv6PTzdoPo4PAWysX88ntXcPnObGb1Dkl0tB_1hPUnOEsX3lyDJbCDsM5lmfokjTFtyRY_xQouNSEVTcF0i2MK6cDBW6xk7grmRpSArcrGRawF=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Vampire: The Masquerade</i> supplements</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The thing about old <i>Vampire</i>, as I discovered high on the rush of nostalgia, is that many of the supplements for it are dirt cheap. There must be so many in circulation; my advice: check Craigslist and eBay to see if someone is trying to unload a big stack of them, like the ones pictured here. Absolute 90s time travel. But...what should I do with them? Get a <i>Vampire</i> game going using the old rules, warts and all? A series of reviews of the Clanbooks in the order they were published?

Hardcore fans seem mad at this release, but being fairly untutored in the former lore I didn't really find anything that rustled my undead jimmies. This version of the Sabbat seems less cartoonishly evil than what I remember, and that seems like a good thing. I don't really mind that the Sabbat are more or less reserved as villains. Sorry, edgelords! Also, it's interesting that the art style relies less on the "fashion mag" aesthetic, and more on traditional illustration. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhf4oCupMpfOGNM_EQjZBsZ547Nf834h7V8jbyoMcvblB8D4A8qp0LYfRQWvodDEm4c69YLIgVWqk0PfQ98FG2x9-3gf5qqUyK5IoR2WAZbvI2oWIeuKK3kMz5FhpzfkHlJ-35Inkaqk0m6CkMU3MqHajDDVPwmfupjf2VFlIBY0AsPRUNR9NfhnZQv=s630" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="484" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhf4oCupMpfOGNM_EQjZBsZ547Nf834h7V8jbyoMcvblB8D4A8qp0LYfRQWvodDEm4c69YLIgVWqk0PfQ98FG2x9-3gf5qqUyK5IoR2WAZbvI2oWIeuKK3kMz5FhpzfkHlJ-35Inkaqk0m6CkMU3MqHajDDVPwmfupjf2VFlIBY0AsPRUNR9NfhnZQv=s320" width="246" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Vampire Wars: The Antagonists</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The vampire action just didn't let up in February! I've been looking for a copy of <i>The Antagonists</i>, a supplement for the <i>Vampire Wars</i> war game for a long time. The company who made it has it for sale, but the shipping price they were asking was absolutely insane for such a thin book. eBay once again pulled through; I bought this from an "estate sale" for under five bucks.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'll probably never play <i>Vampire Wars</i>, in that it feels like playing anything face-to-face is a distant dream, but I enjoy this line as a curiosity. And honestly, the art has some verve to it, the named characters could be repurposed or serve as inspiration elsewhere, and maybe even the scenarios could be the start of something interesting if transposed to a tabletop rpg.<br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhuRWRUysevAuZMTdzFB_oroAEhvHO1PHaa3kxFF7owPqTLmdoOQsO1eMshxOvetGXpnoW4BwtZMKLQGhY6bnfGcaO2BMAGmXSuMJUQWuK97hZ0afmamo-S6bErLjsvy06bQ3udIiZTyoiy1uixSEF-xDI2O8y2TNM-muNXTBDBTSlTFQ4_RPs2xZiY=s1200" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhuRWRUysevAuZMTdzFB_oroAEhvHO1PHaa3kxFF7owPqTLmdoOQsO1eMshxOvetGXpnoW4BwtZMKLQGhY6bnfGcaO2BMAGmXSuMJUQWuK97hZ0afmamo-S6bErLjsvy06bQ3udIiZTyoiy1uixSEF-xDI2O8y2TNM-muNXTBDBTSlTFQ4_RPs2xZiY=w200-h200" width="200" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Zeal & Ardor, <i>self-titled</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">It wouldn't be fair to say that Zeal & Ardor's self-titled album, their third full-length, is a disappointment; rather, it's probably more true that it didn't give me exactly what I want. Their debut, <i>Devil is Fine</i>, sounded like the start of something; it wasn't fully realized but it reeked of promise. The follow up, <i>Stranger Fruit</i>, gave me exactly the combination of gospel, soul, and black metal I had been hoping for--it felt like a culmination of all the best bits finally coming together. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">My hope was that the self-titled record would continue in that vein, but it goes off in some new directions I don't love. The electronics are a little too prominent, and a little too peppy and upbeat in places; the post-rock elements feel a little too transcendent, when what I want out of Zeal & Ardor is hell on earth; there's also some bits that sound too much like NIN. That said, this really isn't a bad album: when it's on, it's on, but not every track here wins me over.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgg8dFdWEdR2XuJN0SDYU2C8P8X8H3enPCdNcL-WUdrINBapw4OHLJChcULwRPA4RPi_52GFpzX-i5s5qJvWM7CBsZ4HReS6R7SMgo6r-ldyojGHtXjidSwnHkmQPMuhx_siFZSSk-hGfJHiDaIPDdYD73icy1s-II3gnVvpc6TdfUVZEnI0s7jzgmH=s2560" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1690" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgg8dFdWEdR2XuJN0SDYU2C8P8X8H3enPCdNcL-WUdrINBapw4OHLJChcULwRPA4RPi_52GFpzX-i5s5qJvWM7CBsZ4HReS6R7SMgo6r-ldyojGHtXjidSwnHkmQPMuhx_siFZSSk-hGfJHiDaIPDdYD73icy1s-II3gnVvpc6TdfUVZEnI0s7jzgmH=s320" width="211" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Colson Whitehead, <i>The Underground Railroad</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Colson Whitehead's <i>The Underground Railroad</i> is a magic lantern show that lets the many monstrous faces lurking beneath the mask of American ideology flicker into dreadful life. Cora, an escaped slave, makes her way north via a literalized underground railroad (it's a real system of secret train lines cutting through tunnels beneath the nation), but each stop that seems to promise freedom reveals a different shade of disappointment, oppression, untenable dreams, and broken promises. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's difficult not to compare <i>The Underground Railroad</i> against Toni Morrison's <i>Beloved</i>, in that both are fantastical literary events that engage with race and history in America. <i>Beloved</i> feels more harrowing to me, which is interesting because it's really <i>The Underground Railroad</i> that has the more ambiguous ending.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgR8KXy4nSFrFUdJDGg8PrO9xly9pyvwikKWB777FmD0ZuQjYI-tWsqnpowwTq7bplGi0XDJaHZEpEJfCPIyi7MBXrKEaVgLWykjgOeEMKUmU7KRjiOghIX4eFN4CsA7IIC1gtUbY66LuTgvd4KZPFPx_zyYxtVlowk3ZqsovNuAN9J6kQdeMQEGomL=s1165" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1165" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgR8KXy4nSFrFUdJDGg8PrO9xly9pyvwikKWB777FmD0ZuQjYI-tWsqnpowwTq7bplGi0XDJaHZEpEJfCPIyi7MBXrKEaVgLWykjgOeEMKUmU7KRjiOghIX4eFN4CsA7IIC1gtUbY66LuTgvd4KZPFPx_zyYxtVlowk3ZqsovNuAN9J6kQdeMQEGomL=s320" width="247" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Malifaux Burns</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Malifaux Burns</i> is the latest expansion for the <i>Malifaux</i> miniature war game. It's definitely a "metaplot" expansion: the Burning Man (unfortunate name, makes me think of hippies in the desert) has come to Malifaux, infecting several characters with his fiery madness. Of course, it's all an excuse to update some models, bring some characters back into the game, and offer alternate ways of playing the crews you already own. The art is always a treat and the fiction bits are surprisingly readable, as is usual for the <i>Malifaux</i> line.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWrgnY_Hpgpr_Ge1ieXc1njiQ5ZiELiunkHK3y1WlFC2t4jJ8ACKXU7U7Uzv_wMJTwuOnTHqlLgDj_0V3VZmZCTQGjDDIXQH3hZRxIQqMlR8ghO14_zC4_PuGwHpL27dGDPuANhe6Rairj9KWsNNFzgLBiTuwN81MbXuTwS0nH7w3UswJwSqxGRtnF=s1819" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1819" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWrgnY_Hpgpr_Ge1ieXc1njiQ5ZiELiunkHK3y1WlFC2t4jJ8ACKXU7U7Uzv_wMJTwuOnTHqlLgDj_0V3VZmZCTQGjDDIXQH3hZRxIQqMlR8ghO14_zC4_PuGwHpL27dGDPuANhe6Rairj9KWsNNFzgLBiTuwN81MbXuTwS0nH7w3UswJwSqxGRtnF=s320" width="211" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Clive Barker, <i>Books of Blood volume 1</i></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's been a long time since I read the first volume of Clive Barker's <i>Books of Blood</i>, so I was overdue to give it a re-read. Imagine encountering this book when it first came out: you probably wouldn't have known who Clive Barker was, right? The raw ferocity and style coming off these stories would have felt like a crowbar popping open your skull and exposing your skull to fetid, unwholesome air. There are some absolute (and obvious) gems in here: the title story and "In the Hills, the Cities" are just audaciously perfect. And even the stories that didn't grab me with as much force the first time around, such as "Sex, Death and Starshine" or "Pig Blood Blues," now feel like monumental offerings.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhgTXh0ba4Qekrl9MfQV5tyj0lcp-DXFoTTxoFMJ3m3Z7DiMHFHGhPOrpw4EddbAr8z0xn5bCpooT02uG13msUaKexFzGAzWKevpKrlww7e8Tv41__3643vPm_9Dt9eWoHy11dzV3sCQkRAYpwwGVrcEvSfnZOFzN864ZFAgQunhw9qBG7M1lMu0vDj=s2381" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2381" data-original-width="1903" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhgTXh0ba4Qekrl9MfQV5tyj0lcp-DXFoTTxoFMJ3m3Z7DiMHFHGhPOrpw4EddbAr8z0xn5bCpooT02uG13msUaKexFzGAzWKevpKrlww7e8Tv41__3643vPm_9Dt9eWoHy11dzV3sCQkRAYpwwGVrcEvSfnZOFzN864ZFAgQunhw9qBG7M1lMu0vDj=s320" width="256" /></span></a></div><p></p></div><div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Salome print</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I picked this up at the antique store.
