If I had dollar each time Charles Dance played rich intelligent man who is horrible father to his second son and gets killed by said second son, I would have two dollars. Which isn't much but it's still weird it happened twice.

Listen they barely interact face to face but Adam Warlock and Mistress Death have the funniest dynamic of all time actually.

[…] the one thing that must never come between two people who have offered each other love is a lie.

The Magus & The Oracle

or, my yearly ZineMonth breakdown waiting to happen

Here we are! I can finally spill the beans on what I'm working on for ZineMonth 2024. This year NessunDove is joining forces with award-winning designer @momatoes for the first-ever English print of The Magus, the solo ttrpg about pathos, arcana, calamity, and the infinite loneliness of power... Plus a brand-new addition in the form of The Oracle: a 78-card inspiration deck designed to provide visual and storytelling prompts for The Magus, ttrpg systems, and all acts of storytelling.

I was overjoyed to work on the Italian edition of Magus back in 2021, and it was the first ever print run of the game. Now it's time for a new and improved English edition, with a new layout and updated rules that keep The Magus's narrative-driven crunch intact but supplement it with a new source of endless inspiration.

If you're in the mood to tell the tragic story of a sorcerer's quest for arcane mastery, do follow the pre-launch page on Kickstarter and help keep my anxiety at bay by making number go up.

Listen.... Lilith and the Magus got a lot in common. So that’s the only explanation that you get.

Welcome to my twisted mind or whatever

So, I did the favourite character bingo, and I loved the picture I found to use for the Magus. I said that he looked like someone who was having memes explained to him and I just had to do a comic of it.
