PLAYDAY 1: AUGUST 19TH, 2022 In person, a whole game of Negocios Infernales can usually be played within 4-5 hours–sometimes fewer!–depending on how many people are playing and if they’ve played before. Online, it’s a bit different. Role20 slows everything down (though we’re very grateful to have it), so it usually takes two sessions of about 4 hours… Continue reading Negocios Infernales for Kaleidocast

Wolfe’s Arcana. Or: Midjourney, Meet Gene Wolfe

My friend Becca is visiting us here at Casa Hernandooney. As Carlos and I were putting the final touches on our savory apple pie (bacon, onion, thyme, smoked cheddar), she was wandering our apartment, surveying it as a patroness of a very goofy museum.

Of COURSE I wanted to play Lucy. And OF… Continue reading Progress Report: The Devil and Lady Midnight

A Day in the City, Ending in an Electric Circus

I asked Carlos if he wanted to go the Electric Circus with me and a friend of ours: actor, audiobook narrator, and all-around goddess Carla Kissane. (She of “Shakespeare Cabaret” fame.) Before uttering an ENTHUSIASTIC YES, he asked, very naturally, what was an Electric Circus? So I went to the Arts on Site webpage and I read him… Continue reading A Day in the City, Ending in an Electric Circus

Gray Assassin / Infernal Negotiations

Last night, in celebration of Gregory Wilson’s/ Atthis Arts’/ Alligator Alley Entertainment’s Kickstarter for the Gray Assassin trilogy and TTRPG, Greg and Carlos and I–as well as the GLORIOUS TWITCH CHAT–played a skinned version of our own TTRPG “Negocios Infernales!” Except… we played it in Greg’s fantasy city of Cohrelle. So fun! Twitch chat on Greg’s channel all collaborated to contribute their own assassin, REQUIEM. … Continue reading Gray Assassin / Infernal Negotiations
