After their newsworthy attempt to stop The Vampyre from wreaking havoc on East Haven, our new team of heroes tests out the waters of East Haven heroics with a little firefighting in the docks. In ISSUE #01: FIRE DRILL, THE MUTANT follows a suspicious figure, and SILVER SPIRIT discovers just how fireproof he is—or isn’t!

A game that encodes non-visual, non-televisual forms of storytelling and imagery into its format and play style? We truly love to see it.

Ellen's videos never fail to make me laugh out loud. Jake's one of two characters she was originally considering playing - the other one was more like recently evicted supporting character Heidi - and I'm so glad Jake was the one that made it to the screen. Now in Full Goblin Mode edition!

Have the Big Brother audience created a monster?

Uh oh, Jake's gone rogue! Since the audience saved him from eviction he's been acting like he can get away with anything. But now that the housemates have put him up for eviction again, are the viewers going to be as sympathetic to Prankster Grandpa Jake as they were to Everyone's Lovely Granddad Jake?

After the Strange and Norrell affair, and the coincident return of magic to England

1. Every time the York Society convenes to study Vinculus, he insists on discomfiting them all by disrobing in a decidedly ... sultry manner, involving lots of eye contact and visible tongue movement.

2. Having a mirror in your house is the height of risque recklessness. Lord Byron has one in every room, and five in the bedroom. It is not considered respectable for your house or your carriage to have clean windows. On mornings after rain, even the naturally antisocial look passers-by in the eye in greeting, rather than risk glimpsing a reflection in a puddle.

3. Bell Strange and Emma Wintertowne, the former Lady Pole, roam the continent investigating writings and sightings concerning Faerie. Others were imprisoned in Lost Hope; other faeries are surely abroad in England, making other bargains; and of course there’s Jonathan. Strange and Wintertowne have no intention of ever again being taken unawares. When eventually their quest takes them back to England, they’ll be prepared.

4. The Black King of Lost Hope observes their escapades through fountains and rain, looking forward to the day they find their way back to him; though he knows it will be, in the main, to ask service of him again. He hasn’t yet decided what his answer will be.

5. Many an adventurer has entered the house of Gilbert Norrell seeking the truth about that day. Many are still missing. Those who return, return to some degree mad. It seems that, absent Mr Norrell’s tending, the labyrinth around the library is growing wild. Its twists and turns are said to echo with the flutter of ravens’ wings.

6. Slowly, subtly, John Childermass cedes his role as ambassador-convenor of England’s magical societies to Segundus and Honeyfoot, and returns to the shadows. Attempt to abuse English magic - to use it to harm, cheat or control others - to bring it, in other words, into disrepute once again - and you are wont to discover a scarred man in the nearest dark corner, glowering. Show contrition and he will simply direct you to your local society, where you may learn honour from your betters. Attack him, and he’ll do you the honour of teaching you a little lesson himself.

Today I've watched Everything Everywhere All At Once and the Starstruck Odyssey finale, which means it's been an unexpected banner day for things shaped like butt plugs

Every turn before this one, I've been the first to go - so this was the first time I got to experience the fun of riffing off events someone else created, deciding how much to agree with and how much my account should conflict. You can do that all the time, riffing off things from previous turns, but this is the most engaged I've felt with that aspect of the game, and let me tell you, it's a blast

Is there anything Malcom won't complain about?

Another take on Plategate and we're no closer to knowing who chucked that first mug. And why on earth can't Malcolm just take the W when it lands on his ... plate? Just enjoy the pool, you big killjoy!
