You're not allowed to announce a culinary field experiment like that without publishing your findings. Shame on you. 🥽📋

Thank you! Brett was a fun challenge for me in lots of small nuanced ways. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. 🥏

I'm making a note here: "Huge success."

It's difficult to pick ones that feel accurate, moreso than ones I just like. I didn't think Spock, Yoda, and E.T. really represent me. But I've felt like each of my three chosen aliens on more than one occasion.

Well, there *is* the mockup I made for K8's hoverboard. 🛹🐆

It took a long time to develop the initial hook before Cat was even aware of the experiment. If I ever stumble upon a special idea for another adventure, I'd imagine it would also take a while to work out. So yeah, no plans for more.

...yet.

Wow! Thank you for joining us on such a wild (and lengthy) experiment. 🧡

As for future stories with K8, we're hesitant to risk an unnecessary follow-up. But, y'know, never say never. 🔙

In the meantime, there's GBR, The Extermination, City of Daemons, and others on the way!

Sounds to me like you're describing a prison. 🤷‍♂️

Definitely not alone. I also find them uncomfortable to be in. Especially the "big box" marts. Those can feel beyond Orwellian to me.

Man, I *wish* I would be Xanatos. I'm just being honest with myself. 😆

And that's to say nothing of the fact that systems in and of themselves are just tools to tell stories. It's like asking a cinematographer to list their top ten film stocks. All can be valid as long as they fit the story being told.

Keeper: Friends! I have a great new idea for a CoC one-shot!
Player: You realize C.o.C. is an abbreviation, not an acronym, right?
Keeper: (evil laugh)
