For Gelatinous Cube 13 we dig into Rosie's fairytale adventure Red Riding. We lean extensively on the work of the luminous Angela Carter to explore how RPG's resemble fairytales, recipes, and even soap operas, and all of these genres can help us to think in new ways about our creations. Then we trip on over to the Gelatinous Cube, who confronts the adventuring party with the price of fame. You can get the PDF of the Cube's encounter here!
The key reference is the introduction to Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. It's a quick read and, like everything Carter wrote, incredibly insightful.
Rosie also spends time rhapsodising about Richard Ruane's A Quiet Midwinter: An Old School Heist with the Hallmarks of a Holiday Special, an exquisitely festive time that we would highly recommend.
And finally, please do check out Red Riding. It was quite the labour of love.
