A clearer look at my look for part 1 of Heart: The City Beneath, streamed on Actual Play UK the other week. In @merelyroleplayers I'm just a voice – since this game is on camera I thought I'd make more of an effort and try to match the feel of the setting!

The bracer is by Skinbound on Etsy; and I marshalled my extremely basic makeup skills into something that ended up too subtle for the camera, especially compared to Fiona and @maddyisabstract, who are, to be fair, consummate pros.

Lessons learned, and if you tune in for part 2 next Friday 8 March, you'll actually be able to tell I've done something with my face 😄

Tune in this time next week

Four delvers rove deep, deep into the unreality of the City Beneath.

Each seeks to achieve the unimaginable.

But in a city shaped by desire, it can be dangerous to want too strongly...

The September issue of the Foggy Outline newsletter is out! Our serial continues with part 3, which sheds a little more light on what Callum's doing at this party, and why no one there has been paying him any attention (even as he rifles their purses and snoops through their wardrobes).

i also think it's kinda cool how tyler makes me want to learn stuff

Wyldlife scheduled a show at Union Pool in August... oh, man. Do I do this? Do I relive my twenties? I will always make a face when I learn a show is scheduled there. It's similar to Whiskey Face but more subtle and bewildered.

on my little ramble today I do want to note that of Scottish politics types here on Tumblr and elsewhere in the vaguely-lefty-vaguely-gay spheres, the few who're talking about Scottishness and Independence tend to be very leery of acknowledging our worse truths. the fact that Scotland was both a gleeful participant in the Empire, and roped into a shotgun marriage with England. The harm we've done as both aggressors and the harm done to us as the loser in a centuries-long war of colonisation. Early testing for what way, way worse things would be done to first the Irish and then a disturbingly large amount of the world.

The right-hand-man of the bastard empire, and its horrific little dog. Leashed, yes, but biting all the same.

We're much more progressive now than we have ever been and with independence we could finally start to make a change that could be entirely our own. But we'll always have to bear in mind the truths of what we did as a nation and who we profited off to get here.

Maybe we just struggle to come to terms with the greyness of it, the fact there's no good 'us vs them' thing to be had here. Are we in a deeply unfair position in the UK and treated as at best a cash cow to be milked to death? yes. Are we also total bastards in the global history sense? also yes.

DEMONS & DAUGHTERS: ACT ONE is now on YouTube in its entirety!

You can now chart the first leg of the girls' search for their fathers, from the idyllic Regency village of Bledlow all the way through the horrors unleashed at the full moon masquerade in the heart of London.

Our tale has something for everyone: female fury, lesbianism, ghosts, swords, sorcery, secret brotherhoods, betrayals, brothels, beastly transformations, demonic cults and a lot of ribbons.
