Without spoiling too much, the underground location in Together, and what it does, is exactly the kind of shit I'm putting in the next hexmap TRPG I run.
Nearby village with plenty of clues as to what's going on.
Just a cursed place to stumble onto.

Preferably not any more American clues; I don't want to learn all your state abbreviations and animals, baseball terms, or presidents.

In true Getting Old fashion I've been really getting into cryptic crosswords lately, but I'm going to run out of my current batch of them soon. If anyone has a good reliable source of human made cryptics online I'd love a link.

At least it's not as creepy as the previous years old, crackly Teddy Bears Picnic they were blasting.

Got Nellie the Elephant stuck in my head due to the sudden abundance of ice cream vans.

Bloody hell, it looks like my next itchio Payment is going towards all the kickstarters suddenly collecting US postage costs rather than a food shop.

If you've DM'd me recently, I cannot see messages on here due to the ridiculous limits placed on it, so please send it to me at yuigaron at the google mail company.

Looking for inspiration for the next floor of next month's daily dungeon room challenge I decided to let a d6 and youtube music shuffle do the work for me.

I'm excited, but what do I do with this lol!

Those weird little story albums that Google creates every now and then just gave me a notification of one called "Core Memory Unlocked" and it was just a picture of scribbled nonsense.

A sickening yellow and void black trifold pamphlet with A5 panels. The centre panel displays a crosscut section of The Hive, whilst the panels either side of it contain text for each cavernous void within it.

"The Hive rises like a pustule from the ground; a waxen lump of debris, stinking and sticky. Wasps fill the air, plaguing the dying world, snatching those unlucky enough to live through their attacks."

The Hiveβ€”a #MΓΆrkBorg dungeonβ€”is available in print at Pit Trap.

That fire is now loose, and I'm gonna be treating it like the xenomorph in Alien Isolation.

They will learn to fear the flames glow as it sweeps through the tunnels.

Last week we had a watery character death in our delve into The Isle.

This week, a death by fire; a violent, predatory fire.

The inside of the PSVR2 headset showing the lenses and a bright light coming from the right eyepiece.

A close up of the right eyepiece and the static that's showing up on about half of that screen/lens.

Awesome, went to go play some Resident Evil in VR and this is how I find my #PSVR2.

I haven't had the headset on in nearly a year but it was fine back then. Unsure how to go about sorting this, if it is fixable.

Anyone knowledgeable enough?

"Why is this room empty? Must simply be the bad writing," declares the youtuber, ignoring the random encounters tables.

But I need to get mad at the youtuber trying to run older system modules without converting them properly or properly respecting the Dungeon Turn and then declaring older games and dungeons to "Be Bad".

A skeet that will go great out of context.
