International Dance Day Aftermath...

 When it's chilly in the theatre during your performance and you had just a touch too many baked beans and a little too much cabbage while celebrating International Dance Day!

Hitler's Suicide Note

On this day, 80 years ago, Adolf Hitler took the coward's way out and killed himself as his Third Reich was being reduced to rubble by Allied ground- and air-forces. We mark this day by re-presenting Ruka-Ruka Ali's classic song where he put Hitler's suicide note to music.

Note: We just learned that Rucka-Rucka Ali and his songs have been pretty much banished from the internet and the web because they are sooooo offensive. Grow a fucking sense of humor, you crybabies. Or are you really so stupid that you think "Hitler's Suicide Note" is some sort of ode to the little man with the silly 'stache? (Someone who might hate censorship and self-righteous, overly sensitive assholes as much as we do appears to have preserved Rucka-Rucka's catalogue. Good for him/her/shim-shimsharee/whatever pronoun it should be!

It's International Dance Day!

It's late in the day, but we finally caught up with the Shades of Gray Dancers, and they are as light on their feet as ever--literally dancing on water!

They are so excited about it being International Dance Day, and that it is possible to squeeze in an observance for another year at Shades of Gray, they feel like their on top of the world!

One problem with the Shades of Gray Dancers is that they don't like being confined to theatres and stages. They want to perform in natural, open-air settings...

... and they really love performing during, and in the middle of, natural disasters!

They would also love to see a revival of the whole notion of photographing dancers against the backdrop of nukes going off. They are reportedly working toward acquiring a North Korean bomb for just that purpose!

Of course, the biggest problem with the Shades of Gray Dancers is that they don't actually exist. All images of them in this post were computer generated over at OpenArt.ai... and they are but wisps of imaginings, as substantive as mists.

Maybe next year, we'll get back to pictures of REAL dancers on this International Dance Day!

NUELOW Games: Tariff free since 2011, tariff free now!

Are you worried that tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump are going to make the prices of your favorite games, comics, and books skyrocket, because they are primarily manufactured some place outside the U.S.? Well, we are here to put your mind at ease with alternatives... 

If the tariffs and the additional expense they bring worry you, and if you don't want your fun-time to cost more than is reasonable, you should check out NUELOW Games! Don't let the Bad Orange Man pick your pocket! Get your RPG material, comics, and fiction from NUELOW Games! No tariffs now, no tariffs since 2011, no tariffs ever! Click here to see the 300+ TARIFF FREE offerings!

If that sounds overwhelming, or you like games but not comics, or you like comics but not pages and pages of non-illustrated stories (also known as short stories and novellas), of if you just want to peruse art collections and RPG material, then use these links for more narrowly focused listings of what NUELOW Games has to offer.

DriveThru Comics for comics anthologies that also contain game material and fiction.

DriveThru Fiction for fiction anthologies and novelettes, some of which also contain game material and/or comics, bit most of which do not.

DriveThru Cards where you'll find the rules for a couple card games we developed. Maybe someday, we'll actually make the cards instead of giving you the play-test experience by making you use a normal deck of cards to play.

There are over 350 different offerings available from NUELOW Games, so it's likely that you'll find one or two items that you think will be worth your time... especially if you take the low, low tariff-free prices!

But don't take our word for it. The Donald himself knows the score.

Something's afoot...

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Here's a little something from Dutch cartoonist Peter van Straaten:

(English translation by Steve Miller)

Whether you think you're in love or not, when the partner says "no" or otherwise rebuffs you're sexual advances, stop. Back off. Put your pants back on and your hands in the pockets. If you keep going, you're committing sexual assault (at least) or even rape (at worst).
