the thing no one tells you about preparing to launch A Thing in 2025 is that on top of working on The Thing you will also have to write one hundred million different bits of copy of varying lengths for all the different bits of the internet you're meant to have a presence in

When you make a character in The Snarl, you can choose from twelve different species that live in the world known as the Weald. Today I’m going to talk a bit about one of the stranger ones: Clackers.

Hey folks, let’s talk about our upcoming weird fantasy RPG, the Snarl!

First up: an overview of what the game is — and isn’t! Every fantasy setting is based on underlying assumptions that shape the world. These are some of the defining characteristics of The Snarl.
The Snarl Is Strange. The environment is lush and wild and teeming with flora and fauna—and yet to a human’s alien eyes, it is unnatural, impossible to have grown into being by organic means. It is a place of beauty and wonder—and undefinable wrongness. The residents, of course, know no different. This Is Not Your Typical Fantasy World. There is no feudalism, no kings or queens, no peasants. The material aspects of the Weald have generated other social structures. Heroes are motivated not by greed, but by survival, loyalty, or a thirst for knowledge, justice, or adventure. The riches and loot sought by murder hoboes are absent here—no gold, no magic swords, no spell books. Treasures are gifted for social status. Monsters exist, but dragons and orcs are replaced by far stranger things. The Environment Is Feral. The Weald is verdant and alive. Millions of species thrive here—and millions more prey upon them. Outside of settlements and nomad camps, the Snarl is a dangerous place, teeming with dangerous wildlife. Stragglers and wanderers often do not return. The residents are familiar with their local regions, but the Snarl grows quickly. Numerous civilizations have been swallowed under the leaves and mulch. Magic Is Unusual. This is not a world of spells and grimoires. All denizens make use of sap reverently drawn from the pillars and consumed for supernatural effects. Spirits lurk invisibly everywhere, working as caretakers of the environment, taking physical form only when needed. The sparks who see and command these spirits also manipulate esoteric forces within the environment for their witchcraft.

Screenshot of text I’ve written that reads: I really want to rant about the way the world is going and how the creative industries are being destroyed and how those two things are so closely tied together and I want to complain about how hard it is to just exist and create right now and how it feels like you always need to be 'on' and the pressure to always be making content and be visible that's pushed on us by this capitalist fast tech-driven world we're in right now and how it's stifling creativity in the worst way and how it feels like you need to choose between being visible and actually making good art and experimenting and being a human being but I am exhausted and all my energy has been drained

With 2 days to go before the SCUM Kickstarter launch, @moosewithcup.bsky.social and I just had a 90-minute meeting.

At the beginning of our meeting, both of our fantasy football teams were losing.

At the end of the meeting, both of them were winning.

We are taking this as a very good omen.

On the right, floating in the air, helmet on, crackling with paranormal power. A spread from Blades '68, showing the hull playbook.
