Oh, it's like when a character in a play says what a bad actor someone is.
I've written a silly game called Weathertip, which is as it sounds. Now, I need to decide whether to make that my Golden Cobra entry (because it's fun) or stick with my game about leaving a new town in 1961 (because I like history).
I only really know Narrativa, who publish Cthulhu Dark
I've released the rules for Cosmic Dark, along with a video message and a post about the weird science fiction I've been reading. www.patreon.com/posts/cosmic...

This interview was fun: it's really about how to use science fiction to tell weird horror stories.
There's a potential LARP, in which you're hobbits on Weathertop, deciding whether to keep going with this weird bloke who got your friend stabbed or go out on your own (which was working just fine before).
I always liked Strider as a dark, dubious figure, and you're right, it seems to be abandoned too soon. That's said, there's a vibe on Weathertop along the lines of "Wait, we trusted this guy and now we're getting attacked and Frodo is stabbed".
I'm really enjoying these posts by Gar Hanrahan, in which he's going through the Lord of the Rings journey day by day. This is my favourite bit of the journey, honestly: I've always found the Fellowship of the Ring to be the best book. It all gets a bit ponderous after that.
This morning, I'm having fun doing those little dotted-line-boxes-with-scissor-icons that used to appear on board games. I'm also enjoying including words like "hoovering". (Yes, it's for the game I'm writing for the Golden Cobra.)
Why would they choose the coldest months to do it? They probably could have nipped over the Misty Mountains in June and saved themselves a bunch of trouble.
