Bridgett’s Pet Pick Shout Out

New arrival and fan of the show Christine Fisher just shared an adorable cat, fast asleep near a window, with the following caption: This is Anna Mae, celebrating the warmth of every new day.

And I just really appreciate the beauty and the simplicity of, “celebrating the warmth of a new day.” 

Enjoy Anna Mae! And thank you for the reminder.

Main Topic

From Evan– Friends, fellow horror roleplaying gamers, it is an honor and a pleasure to join this podcast. I’d like to humbly introduce myself to you by talking with Bridgett about some of the horror gaming topics that I’m really interested in, or things that I find myself thinking about a lot.

I have a lot of interests and I think all of these could probably be longer topics, maybe shows of their own, but let’s do some quick hits and just skim the surface of them now. Call it an Evan Perlman Sampler Platter.

Getting Inspiration from Media

Aiming for specific emotional beats at the table

Trying new things in scenarios

Making friends and collaborative partners

Bridgett’s Pet Pick Shout Out

The Pet Pic channel is a community onto itself. On this channel, we post our beloved pets, fosters, pets of family members, and even wildlife shouting “go pods.” These animals, these pets, are members of our collective community. So when we lose a member of this community, one of our precious pets, we often grieve as a community. I’ve seen the recent pet loss guys. I just want you, and everyone who has ever lost, and will someday lose a pet to know, we’re here for you. We’re here for each other.
