But I am still here doing what I do!
Today is the Autumnal Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere and the Vernal Equinox for my friends in the Southern Hemisphere.
For me, this brings the march to darkness and of course my favorite time of year. The spooky season of Halloween.
And do I have a lot in store for you all this year! Starting off with a couple of hosting I am doing all October.
October Horror Movie Challenge
I have been doing the October Horror Movie Challenge n for years now. I just got a new DVD in the mail today of one I have been searching for forever so I thought today would be a good day to announce that this year I am hosting my own Horror Movie Challenge.
I am not doing anything wildly different than in previous years, and I am largely following the rules as set out by Krell Laboratories.
You have 31 days, October 1st to October 31st, to watch 31 Horror movies. At least 20 of these need to be first-time views.
Currently, I am working on my list of movies. I wanted to do a Lovecraft film fest. But I am finding that there are quite a few Lovecraft-themed movies I just don't have access to. So I am going to expand my list a bit.
I have even created a new banner image to use.
If you want to copy this to your own posts then here is the HTML code!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/OctHorrorMovie" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="2021 October Horror Movie Challenge" border="0" data-original-height="687" data-original-width="563" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmymZC-oZM6wAtTQFryQnipqy4Pq7L7OeHRbB6dfk20qvLT0yJ-gSoK5aUWCt_vpP4KXhvBR_3CYxh5jd4LiS-kAZJPRq7RamQBVZDUfsz9IPmySBxDiUb-tx6TpGav_B8jJR-4b-L-Uw/w328-h400/October+Horror+Movie+Challenge+2021.jpg" title="2021 October Horror Movie Challenge" width="328" /></a></div>
Just copy and paste that into the HTML editing window of whatever you are using to post.
But that is not all that is happening here.
RPG Blog Carnival
This October I am also hosting my first ever RPG Blog Carnival. This October will be all about Horror in RPGs. So kinda what I like to do anyway, but now you can join me. I will have an official post going up on October 1st for you to see all the details and link your blogs/vlogs/social media posts back.
You can check out the details at Of Dice and Dragons the home of the RPG Blog Carnival.
I plan to talk a lot about horror and how you can use it in your games. I am also going to spend quite a bit of time with other horror games and how they can be mined for ideas.
Once again October is going to be a very busy time here. Hope you all join me!
