Introductions - HawkCohenDC - 09-05-2026
A classic tradition of BBS and forum spaces (and even discords) is introductions! It doesn’t need to be a lot but it’s good to have a place to look people up and get and idea of them. So in that spirit:
1. Who are you?
2. Got any pets?
3. What are you reading lately?
4. What are you playing lately?
I’m Hawk.
No pets, sadly.
Lately I’ve been reading Mason & Dixon by Thomas Pynchon.
Lately I’ve been playing OSE, Delving Deeper and Delta Green.

1. I'm Camille. My pronouns are they & them.
2. We have a cat named Ash, he is on a lot of drugs and really annoying lately.
3. I've been reading a lot of anarchist theory, particularly as it pertains to the Situationist International.
4. I've been playing Wolves Upon The Coast, Delta Green in Violence, and Troika!
RE: Introductions - sam_the_bold - 09-07-2026
Hi! Nice to see all of you!!
- I'm Sam (he/him), one of the hosts of Dead Letters.
- No pets of my own, sadly, but my old roommate had a huge black cat named Sparrow, who most often resembled nothing so much as a gargoyle.
- I am definitely going to bring this up on some future episode, but recently I've been very very slowly nibbling on David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, which thus far I have found intimidating but well-written.
- I've been playing murky bog (EMPIRE OF HATRED), a homebrew hack of Misha's rules I call "Misha's Bones" with a variety of adventures (most recently The Black Manse), and Call of Cthulhu (coupla oneshots, gearing up for Masks of Nyarlathotep).
Excited to meet all of you!

RE: Introductions - misha - 09-07-2026
Hi, everyone!
1. I'm Misha (he/him), another one of the Dead Letter hosts.
2. One Australian Cattle Dog and frequent podcast contributor, Bandit (pictured below)
3. Other than trying to keep up with the podcast reading load, working on Foucault's Pendulum.
4. I've been running a megadungeon for a while now using my home ItO/GLOG/FitD mash-up, Odd Goblin. My original OSR group got back together a few months ago after a decade long break, so some B/X as well--we're coming up on session 325. And when my schedule fits I try to make it to Sam's game. I've also been playing Rift Wizard 3

Howdy, I'm 500poundsofnothing, I have no pets, I have recently been reading my textbooks because I have started school back up so I have been reading Library Technology Companion: A Basic Guide for Library Staff (6th ed.), and I have been playing a zurth game as of late, and I have been considering trying to get an ave nox game off the ground.
RE: Introductions - riles - 09-07-2026
I'm Riley, I have a dog called Lola. I've been reading The Pentagon's Brain by Annie Jacobsen & Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. I recently finished a Wolves Upon the Coast open table campaign at the local game-friendly cafe, and just started up a Mythic Bastionland play-by-post game. Lifelong resident of the US west coast (the best coast).

RE: Introductions - Ophiolith - 09-07-2026
Hello! I'm Séamus, from Fife, Scotland. I've definitely hung out with a bunch of you already and frankly kind of thrilled we have a proper ye olde internete forume for having very normal opinions about RPGs on.
I have twin elderly cats - Selina (tiny noisy runt calico, loves to chomp u) and Marty (big dumb tabby brother, very sleepy boi). I'm currently trying to read Daughters' War by Christopher Buehlman, not having much fun with it tbh. And I'm currently running a Dragonbane game for my partner and any mutual friends who might show up.
Lovely to see you all!
