While its central thing is psychosis, it's hard not to see parallels with other mental illnesses too. Parts of the game felt like depression/anxiety dialled up to extremely uncomfortable levels. Maybe coincidence, maybe there's some common root between them, but goddamn either way it was a visceral experience.
After starting play on release day, I finally finished Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice this evening. Not that it's a difficult game, it's just... It's a bit like reading a Cormac McCarthy novel. You can't deny it's well-written and compelling, but holy shit do you sometimes need a cup of tea and a hug between chapters.

Hey friends, if you can pass this on to any Tabletop people who might use it, I'd appreciate it!
I've been doing voiceovers since 2015, but I played my first game of D&D in 1991.
I've voiced for Guinness, The UN and a lot of others, but not much in #TTRPG area.
If you have a project, I'd love to voice it for like 20% of my normal fee.

They could have simply phoned it in, but Shootas Blood & Teef went for a proper, honest to Gork (or Mork?) Goff Rokk band for their soundtrack and I am so here for it:
Birdsite, Mr Blobby
Mr Blobby in the Bayeux Tapestry. That's how central he is to British culture and identity.

In tonight's WFRP session our Grey Wizard used Teleport to bypass a locked trapdoor and ended up trapped in a tiny room with a starving ghoul that very nearly killed him.
The main reason he survived was that they had previously hired an Ogre who hailed from Tilea of all places because they wanted me to voice a gigantic Italian.
