We all lived! We found the treasure (but who knows if we'll escape with it and live long enough to even sell it)! @octopusink.games died and was immediately resurrected in basically the first room. @discodan.bsky.social lost all of his hand skin! @user-nu11.bsky.social made a cool blood snake!
CanyonHeavy Cowboys (and friends) ride again - in an entirely different world in entirely different bodies! Keeping the #OVER/UNDER enthusiasm alive, we're playing A Dungeon Game, led by @loottheroom.bsky.social. Will we live? Will we die? Will an even worse third thing happen? Probably!

I wish I could see some sort of visualization for the impact of #over/under post game. I'm seeing a viral spread of ALL kinds of games being spun up and joined just because of O/U's momentum. Tons of people are starting to write their first content for games, with an insane support network to help.

I've got something cooking. An opportunity, for those who want it.
One last bullet in the chamber. One last performance before the big bow. One last labor of love for all the great people that made this a fantastic game and fantastic month.

Hundreds are still hopelessly addicted to the slicksim #over/under , drooling away their lives in pod arcades while family and loved ones weep. Minders have been hired to persuade them to leave but the most successful method is in-game assassination, a violent but effective way of waking a dreamer.

This is brilliantly written. A prime example of how to play a complex character that's authentic. It's a real challenge to play a character that you the player disagree with fundamentally. It makes everyone's experience richer. The ore refining metaphor is perfect. Everyone should read all of this.
My newest post is an extended backstory to my #over/under character, Jenny Calabrese. There wasn't much I could bring forward, so I thought I might look back, and put to paper what had only been vague ideas when I was playing.

#over/under is inspiring. I wanna try and create a SMALL (10-20 players) discord PBP Mothership game. Any wardens interested in collabing? I'm exploring the idea of a scouting mission to a habitable (but dangerous!) frontier planet. If they don't die, it could scale with more players arriving later.

All On Red's cross collab project The Conduit by @benkinghi.bsky.social for #mothershipmonth2025 is rad. If you back both, you're getting TWO digital reward pamphlet adventures. You're going to need an exciting train mission for your Prospero's Dream campaign. The other one takes place in The Sink!

Commissions are open! Open like they've never been opened before! They're the best commissions. Unbelievable really. We've never seen commissions like these before. They're saying my picture of Durin is the best picture of dwarf that's probably ever been made.

#over/under has been a really fun experiment to dive into. I think that the whole thing is a testament to how cool something can be if you just throw a buncha creative people into a box and shake it! RIP Nostra, a very satisfying arc or me, thank you @jessfrom.online for ending it in style!

My Bratva character Nostra in #over/under bought the boxed set of Mothership in the market and ran Alone In The Deep for a Union Teamster, a Tempest Officer, and a Citizen in one of the bars. Characters playing characters. Thank you Raluca Sitko, Bernard Quick, and Lucas Marlowe!
