Summer Horror

Summer Horror

I recently hosted a TTRPG game jam with the premise of summer horror.

The games that came out of it were fantastic, and can be found by going to the submissions tab on the jam page.

A couple spotlights, though!

Ritual is a Wicker Man / Midsommar style cult horror game that doesn't use a GM. Instead, players who aren't in a scene switch to playing cultists, and as the PCs get killed off more and more cultists can concentrate on the remaining players.

Letters Home is a game about being at summer camp and gradually realizing something is Terribly Wrong with the place. It's two player, and involves actually exchanging letters, and is a great little device for co-writing a horror story.

Sleepless Seas is a solo fishing game that mirrors stuff like Dredge. The tone is gloomy and liminal, and there's the lingering implication that you might be stuck in some sort of piscine purgatory.

Ash Trapped In Cracked Lips is difficult to describe, but the phrase I would use is "Cormac McCarthy's Dark Souls." It's also big, the biggest game submitted to the jam, and features adventurers wandering through a burned out afterlife where there's little movement beyond the circling of vultures.

Haunt is built on the same engine as Ritual, but focuses instead on Hill House style hauntings. Like Ritual, it's a focused, scary experience where the ghosts multiply as the living players dwindle, and it packs a stellar sense of atmosphere.

There are also several more games in the jam, including some of my own, and again they can all be accessed via the jam page.

Summer is ending, but if you want to get in one last good scare (or prepare for autumn), check some of these out!

fucked up how cooking and baking from scratch is viewed as a luxury…..like baking a loaf of bread or whatever is seen as something that only people with money/time can do. I’m not sure why capitalism decided to sell us the idea that we can’t make our own damn food bc it’s a special expensive thing that’s exclusive to wealthy retirees but it’s stupid as hell and it makes me angry

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

I’ve seen a lot of curious people wanting to dive into classical music but don’t know where to start, so I have written out a list of pieces to listen to depending on mood. I’ve only put out a few, but please add more if you want to. hope this helps y’all out. :)

stereotypical delightful classical music:

if you need to sleep:

moonlight sonata

swan lake

corral nocturne

if you need to wake up:

morning mood

summer (from the four seasons)

buckaroo holiday (if you’ve played this in orch you might end up screaming instead of waking up joyfully)

if you are feeling very proud:

pomp and circumstance

symphony no. 9 (beethoven; this is where ode to joy came from)

1812 overture

symphony no. 5, finale (tchaikovsky) (added by viola-ology)

american (dvořák)

if you feel really excited:

hoedown (copland)

bacchanale

spring (from the four seasons) (be careful, if you listen to this too much you’ll start hating it)

la gazza ladra

death and the maiden (schubert)

if you are angry and you want to take a baseball bat and start hitting a bush:

if you want to feel emotional with no explanation:

introduction and rondo capriccioso

canon in d (pachelbel)

if you want to sit back and have a nice cup of tea:

st. paul’s suite

concerto for two violins (vivaldi)

l’arlésienne suite

pieces that don’t really have a valid explanation:

symphony no. 40 (mozart)

cello suite no. 1 (bach)

polovtsian dances

enigma variations (elgar) (added by viola-ology)

perpetuum mobile

pieces that just sound really cool:

scherzo tarantelle

dance of the goblins

caprice no. 24 (paganini)

if you feel like listening to concertos all day (I do not recommend doing that):

concerto for two violins (vivaldi)

violin concerto in a minor (vivaldi)

violin concerto (tchaikovsky) (added by iwillsavemyworld)

cello concerto in c (haydn)

piano concerto, mvt. 1 (pierne) (added by iwillsavemyworld)

harp concerto in E-flat major, mvt. 1 (added by iwillsavemyworld)

and if you really just hate classical music in general:

4′33″ (cage)

a lot of these pieces apply in multiple categories, but I sorted them by which I think they match the most. have fun exploring classical music!

also, thank you to viola-ology and iwillsavemyworld for adding on! if you would like to add on your own suggestions, please reblog and add on or message me so I can give you credit for the suggestion!
