I've heard of Lovecraft Country. Need to catch up on the Laundry and the Murderbot Diaries first but I want to read it. I am excited for the HBO adaptation

Ross Payton

not everything has to be in the MCU

Hi. Long time listener first time caller. If you liked "Ballad of Black Tom" may I recommend "Lovecraft Country" by Matt Ruff which is another attempt to reinterpret Lovecraft from an African American perspective (although not by a black author). Googling around I just noticed that it is getting an HBO series.

Dan Noland

Thanks for all the book recommendations (especially Ballad of Black Tom, sounds like a perfect October book) and for your favorite improvised moments.

I enjoyed Aaron's reaction to the concept of sex moves, regardless. And to be honest, they make it a more tricky sell, especially since Vincent Baker was deliberately vague on them. I see them more as "fade to black" or emotional connection moments. Mad Max: Fury Road has a couple parts that would count, in my mind, without involving sex exactly. But that's also not *at all* what comes to mind when you hear that there's sex moves on the character sheet.

Ken Ringwald

Oh - did you mean a discussion episode on pbta? I can try to arrange that.

Ross Payton

I guess to clarify I was asking not about Apocalypse World itself but the pbta ruleset/aesthetic.

There was a BBC video version of Goremenghast and as I recall it was watchable... and it discouraged me from ever attempting to read the books which are enormous.

Dan Kassiday

great googly moogly I did not expect Gormenghast to turn up here XD
