Thanks for checking out Strange Times! A streamlined, highly hackable RPG system that emphasizes roleplay and narrative choices.

Strange Times is a setting-agnostic investigative horror RPG that uses a d100 roll-low system.

Played in any time period and setting, it combines the competency of detective narratives with the powerlessness of horror stories. In Strange Times, player characters are obsessed with learning about the dark forces hiding in their world—be they monsters, aliens, or ghosts. Every dive into the dark unknown will wear them down until they need to claw their way back into the light...

New stuff: Free modules every week in October!

Hey I'm the editor for this and I run the blog. In my unbiased opinion you should check it out.

I queue posts from the Strange Times blog under the tag "editor reblog"

Yesterday I gave my chickens leftover scraps (a treat for them, most days they get pellet food and what they forage in the yard) and one chicken ran up all excited and then stopped and looked at the scraps and just stood there and I was like "oh you don't want veggie scraps today? Are we picky today?" but then I saw her friend chicken run up and when she got there they ate scraps together.

She was waiting for her friend <3

I watched Iron Lung again tonight in the comfort of my home and my dog must've been watching with me cause as soon as bad things started happening to Simon she started crying. In the scene where he ultimately dies she could not stop crying at me. I am now watching him play the Henry Stickman collection so she can see that A.) He's not dead and B.) He's not in distress. Occasionally he'll whine or hum in discontent about something and my dog will look at me and whine to try and get me to fix whatever is distressing Markiplier.

It's hilarious to me that Al Capone was an amazing tipper. I get why it took so long to catch him.

I would like to share the story of a very understandable but unfortunate mistake i made at work recently

So I'm weeding our ancient and terrible collection of children's books for the first time in possibly ever, and I'm making a decision about a book about migrant workers by Sandra Weiner, called Small Hands, Big Hands. And I'm not 100% sure and I go to just see if there's anything out there about this book's being notable in any way so I do an open web search for

"small hands big hands weiner"

And then I look at my results for a moment

and then at last I somberly add to the end of my search, "BOOK"

I have one like that:

In mathematics, you often consider the two-dimensional plane - you know, the idealised flat two-dimensional object that extends infinitely - which can be real or complex (doesn't matter what that means)

On this, you can perform a mathematical operation called a "blow-up" (resulting in a more complicated geometry)

I needed to look up a formula related to this, so I confidently typed into the search bar:

"Blow up real plane"

The results were not what I wanted and I am not sure if I'm on a terror watchlist now.

This reminds me of my corsetmaker days when i found myself searching for "extra thick boning."

I think aliens would find astronauts charming with their stocky limbs and helmets that look like a big shiny eyeball. I think they would own marketable plushies of them or perhaps a labubu style keychain

Ah, yes, I see you’ve taken notice of the fine knight I keep dangling in a big gilded cage above my evil throne. Quite the pretty little ornament the would be savior makes, wouldn’t you agree~?

What? No, it IS a big cage. That’s- it’s the standard size for a knight’s cage I’m pretty sure. NO I’m not going to invest in 500 square feet of dungeon, it’s ONE knight! I’m pretty sure knights live in hovels in the wild anyways which is basically the same- Look, the cage is quite literally gilded. He loves the cage! He loves obediently preening in the cage! Yeah well, when you capture your own knight you can keep it in whatever size castle you want to, but this one’s mine. Especially since you’re so obviously jealous of me and my cute and awesome knight anyway.

He loves the cage!
