Playing Mothership tomorrow, starting a game of Masks soon, might have folks for some Wanderhome, all thanks to the network #Over/Under created.

"[...]if you got to be in even one cool scene, that’s a win baby. Even if it maybe feels like you could have done more."
Following #over/under I had a lot of feelings about play, about searching for the "right" system, and about making time enjoy whimsy, even when things are dire. Waking up the old blog (which also has notes from my work on Dissident Whispers uhhh 5 years ago?)

Prospero’s dream was rich with lush voices. Character writing that brings color to every whiskey bottle and bulkhead abound in nearly every thread. It’s hard to call a month long...

The idea that people might see a picture of Kruger from #over/under while making a Mothership character, and go, "You know, I think that could be me." is WILD AND I NEED IT TO HAPPEN.
Over the course of the month I drew a portrait or 2(hundred) in #over/under and called them 🩸HEADSHOTS🩸
And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol

I've just been constantly tearing up for the last day, and I have a feeling it's gonna get a whoooooole lot worse when #Over/Under officially ends at 3.

#over/under 's Promcoming is perhaps the only time I've ever enjoyed a dance, and I didn't just enjoy it, I was absolutely ENTRACED. How are all these silly sci-fi people in my computer so emotionally impactful???

You have an idea for #Over/Under. You toss it out there. One person picks it up. An hour later you are typing and reading as fast as you can to respond to everyone playing with it.
It's absolutely intoxicating.

I hate that I can already tell how painfully I'm going to miss #over/under when it's finished.

SPINE is a solo tabletop RPG that looks like a book. It is your anchor to the fictional world, a prop, and a work of art — a keepsake — that you co-create, all in one.
In SPINE, you quite literally embody a researcher who is reading and marking up the physical book in front of you.

on the one hand language follows usage and policing it is futile and on the other hand I believe this p strongly & have a similar schtick about calling one’s work “content”
Said it before but the worse things get it bears repeating. You are not a ‘creative’ or a ‘maker.’ You’re an artist, & if you choose to distinguish, a playwright, painter, whatever. These words have a lineage, they mean something. They’re politically important. Take responsibility.

Do you like Jane Austen? Or maybe you're a fan of Susanna Clarke's Piranesi? Are you into surrealist fantasy of manners, infinite houses and god like beings that deal in the arts? Boy, do I have the perfect ttrpg for you, may I present PALLAS!

Life and adulthood in general is more than just replaying current events with everyone we know until we all have a collective panic attack, high blood pressure, and/or hypertension lol. We deserve space to express ourselves beyond world/national news & that doesn't make us "uninformed or complicit"
