  1. What Can We Learn by Reading the Appendices?

    This year, I've been making a concerted effort to track down and read some books from Appendix N, as well as from the comparable lists from Pathfinder, from 5e 2014, from Dolmenwood, from Numenera, and honestly from every TTRPG in my collection I could find a list for. I also wrote a list of some media I find inspirational when I make up stories for my players. So far this year, I've finished 34 books; not all have been on one of the list but many have. And I've copied those lists into a […]

  12. How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster

    This book showed up in my recommendations on my Kobo account months back and the title really intrigued me. It also fit in with the attention I've been giving the Zero to Well-Read podcast diving anew into classic literature. As I read through stuff like The Maltese Falcon and books from the various inspirational media lists from RPGs I have, I've started thinking more about the literary analysis I did in high school and college English classes and how I might make use of those skills while […]

  19. 📚🚀 Wow, someone used Claude Code to play literary connect-the-dots with 100 books, as if anyone needed #AI to tell us books are related. 🤖🔗 Who knew that invisible cracks, brittle fractures, and self-deceptive blue lies could all be found in the same metaphorical library! 📘💥

  24. I watched Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and what comes to mind is: misquoted. As well-made as the film is, I’m left with a strong sense of disappointment.

    Ho visto il Frankenstein di Guillermo del Toro, e la parola che mi viene in mente è: travisato. Per quanto il film sia ben fatto, alla fine mi resta un forte disappunto.

    One detail, in particular, strikes: Del Toro ends his film inspired by Mary Shelley with a quote by Lord Byron!?

    Un dettaglio, in particolare, colpisce: Del Toro chiude il suo film ispirato a Mary Shelley con una citazione di Lord Byron!?

    A symbolic gesture, but symbols matter.
    Un gesto simbolico, ma i simboli contano.

    Today, you, director, draw inspiration from a woman who, at eighteen, wrote a masterpiece that continues to inspire readers, writers, musicians, and filmmakers… and what do you do? You end your film with a quote by Lord Byron? As if Mary Shelley hadn’t written countless lines that left a mark. As if Mary Shelley had ever needed a man to legitimise her. Seriously?

    Oggi, tu, regista, trai spunto da una donna che a 18 anni ha scritto un capolavoro che continua a ispirare lettori, scrittori, musicisti, registi… e cosa fai? Chiudi con una citazione di Lord Byron? Come se Mary Shelley non avesse scritto un’infinità di frasi che hanno lasciato il segno. Come se Mary Shelley avesse mai avuto bisogno di essere legittimata da un uomo. Ma davvero?

    If this isn’t patriarchal culture…
    Se non è cultura patriarcale questa…

    Ne ho scritto più approfonditamente sul mio blog.
    I wrote about this in more depth on my blog.

  34. Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin in Jaclyn Lurker's ongoing "Year of Sherlock" series. This "Poe Reprise" explores how Dupin's methodical approach in just three stories created the entire consulting detective archetype. From locked room mysteries to armchair detection, Poe established conventions that Doyle would later perfect with Holmes.
