Almost completely free. The first bestiary was 100% my stuff with no changes. The two crossover ones I did had some tweaks and rewrites but even those allowed for a ton of freedom.

So far all the games I’ve worked on have given me huge amounts of creative space, which has been amazing.
Ooh, a hot tip. It doesn't come better than VSLit. 🫡

If you have time for one last Q, and I'm sure you've been asked before: did poncle&co. give you free reign with your specific brand of flavour, or did they have some ideas behind the ten billion things you interpreted?
(Unless it's a secret.)

It’s not the bestiary, but I *am* working on Vampire Survivors literature currently. Some delightful items are coming.

meanwhile when i'm awake i end up writing down far more useful phrases like... (checks phone) "hamsterboard trellis"

(and yes, that is what i actually picked up my phone to write when i was reminded of the other line)
as i was drifting to sleep i had a random thought and was like "that's a banger line, GOTTA write this one down"

checked my phone the next day and all i'd written was "we were living extreme lifestyles with no limits".
thanks, half-asleep me. sounds like it could have come from a 1970s antidrug PSA

Did you know it's illegal to say I want to kill Rivers Cuomo of Weezer? It's illegal. It's a federal offence. It's one of the only sentences you're not allowed to say.

It was OK for me to say it just then, because I was just telling you.

can EDM stand for extreme death metal, as well

not that i'd ever try to confuse things, certainly not already confusing genre names

i'm here to say, free of the shackles of shame and pc (personal computer) cancel culture, that the Offspring, Sum-41 🇨🇦, Bowling for Soup, Green Day, Our Lady Peace 🇨🇦, Good Charlotte, and WHAT! Simple Plan 🇨🇦have all put out bangers in the last decade.

Plus Billy Talent but they never rly stopped 🇨🇦

Many fundamentally decent people have had Nazi tattoos they regretted. We mustn't judge too hastily. Many Communists got Nazi tattoos in the mid-20th century, alongside a truly staggering number of Jews.

I think one of the worst opening lines for a hard rock song would be: “Despite what you heard, I can go all night.”
