About me:
I make adventures and other supplements in the roughly NSR side of OSR; I also play a lot of "story games" (recently: BitD, Wanderhome) and a variety of types of solo games. A lot of what I've been writing lately has been for Cairn or for a non-specific OSR-type system.

It's also very interesting to me how generally adverse people were to violence in #over/under given the source material. The possibility of violence played a pretty big part in how I played the game basically until getting elected (I thought the chance of assassination was a lot higher)

Still a last few things wrapping up while I'm at work. Appropriately, I'm going to have to end the game by doing a bunch of kind of tedious manual work.
Feeling sad already, but also really need this to be over

Wow I really jinxed things with this post lol
Exhausted and can't sleep
Exhausted and can't sleep
I am completely exhausted and I wish I had more time in this game (over/under).
I think I've finished all the things I absolutely needed to finish. There's a lot more I'd like to do. I guess that's another way this game is like life: you have only so much time, only so many things you can fix

Thinking of how impactful in #over/under that death is both possible and actually pretty rare. More common than real life but way less than most games that have death. And you need a really really large game for that effect to happen

#over/under: Some crazy news broke today! The ember and Millie have been made canon in apof!!! This is incredible and I'm genuinely honoured by it. However, it's not me who made the ember, its all the lovely people in the community that sprung up around it, without the cabrals, the arkas, the joyces

so far the main benefit of being president in #over/under has been being able to personally let Anthony Bourdain into the normally closed off union hall to experience the meat spigot (he was a fan)

Being elected president of the union in over/under really increases the danger that someone will actually read my post game blog post

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.
It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.

I am still playing actual cataphracts and I really need people to sign and date their letters. It's funny how much we've gotten used to computers doing that for us

In other news I think I finished my art of The Tower for #over/under. Might tweak it more later but this is probably it

Resumed the #over/under jigsaw puzzle (unfortunately just the union internal one for now cause I'm getting more interest in that and also story line wise it's more clear to me right now)
I appreciate that they started by completing the most ominous part

#over/under I've decided that there are more ghosts in space ships and space stations (or so my character believes) because the spirits of those who die in space are scared of getting lost in the void

I had this idea of taking a break from over/under by finishing reading the book I was reading which happens to be Ancillary Mercy and then I read two pages and then decided to finish reading it in a few weeks

today in #over/under
So there's a thread where every day I post a doodle of a plant, the idea is that the plant is growing. The thread used to be more active but the guy who started it left so it's just me. And I forget about the thread for a few days cause of everything else
