This is the reading challenge organised on the Discord in the community sidebar here. Here's the link to the Storygraph challenge: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/12c988c6-8fd4-4343-81d6-d6c43f8a722e

First of a new compilation series from HDK (Heimat Der Katastrophe), I just really dug the cover.

The cassette cover is what it looks like here, but the digital cover is this full photo with the Italian language RPG in the background.

The four artists - Serhli Cho'l, Idylls of the Last King, Radagast, and Blaze J. Grygiel - each have one 15-minute dungeon synth track on here.

This year for the first time the crew over on the Discord are doing a reading challenge. If you've done a reading challenge before you'll know the gist - a bunch of prompts for which you choose books that fulfil the criteria and try and read them over the course of the year.

The link here is to the Storygraph version of the challenge, although you can of course track it however you prefer. There are some template graphics and things in a thread on the Discord which might help if you like making summary graphics when you complete a challenge like this.

It's more than half way through the year now but the challenge counts anything you've read this year (as long as it fits the other criteria) so you can do the thing where you sign up and instantly mark a tonne of prompts as completed, which I always find kinda satisfying.

Anyway, I just thought I'd post about it over here as well as I'm always looking for reading challenges and things to add a fun sense of completion to reading.

I'm not sure exactly when it is scheduled to open, I was expecting it to be about now but I can't see a date so I presume it's behind schedule.

This will never happen again, and my brain took so long to warm up that I didn't even PB
