@splodge: I haven't read them (they're on my to-do list) so I can't really recommend them, but the "Gormenghast" novels are supposed to be fantasy works on par with LotR that never got due recognition in their author's time. Thematically more in line with Gothic fiction than Tolkienesque fantasy, from what I gather.

@fear_the_booboo: Hey, glad I could help out. I hope this sort of thing clicks with you. It's kind of a strange pastime at first, but there's a considerable rabbit hole of products and techniques you can look into if you find it rewarding.

Anyone interested in a solitaire pen&paper experience should check out the resources on the Solo Roleplaying subreddit. In terms of a D&D type game, I would recommend either Scarlet Heroes or Ironsworn. Scarlet Heroes is based on old-school D&D, while Ironsworn is derived from Apocalypse World. I prefer Ironsworn, but you might adapt to Scarlet Heroes more easily if you're used to D&D.

IMO leaks, especially in the immediate runup to E3, have only a transitory significance. Once a game is 'officially' announced, any notions of either disappointment or satisfaction of getting a peak behind the curtain will subside. Will anyone care about the "Elden Ring" leak a week from now?

This Ain't No Roleplaying Game: A successor to Giant Bomb Unplugged, where the crew plays through pen & paper adaptations of video games. Candidates include Green Ronin's Dragon Age, WotC's Diablo and Starcraft games, and the infamous White Wolf Street Fighter adaptation.

In Your Beaster Bonnet- weekly series where Dan and Abby ring in the spring tide by playing games with rabbits in them or something. At the end, Dan eats a hat like he said he would.

@rorie Oh, it definitely is, I was just joking around that people would misread "furies" as "furries".

Cop RPG formerly titled "No Truce With the Furies" changed its title to "Disco Elysium" recently. Coincidence, or are classical references lost upon the general gamer audience?

@zokamoka: Thanks for the potential key
