I rediscovered a concept for a thing I wrote last year and didn’t even start for a “reverse Wretched and Alone” based on The Little Prince and it’s making me feel a lot of feelings.

Maybe this can be my big solo project for next year.
You live on a solitary planet. Your world has always been you and a few objects. One day, you have no choice but to leave it all behind. What happens to you? Where do you go? What do you do? How do you change others? How do they change you? [Read The Little Prince again, Tangled Blessings, maybe listen to Little Traveller a couple hundred times. A reverse Wretched and Alone where you are building the tower UP. Piece by piece. Until you become whole. It’s a block of towers, tally marks on the page, drawings in a scrapbook that is full (look into the keepsake games of Jeeyon Shim). What matters is that IT IS FULL OF YOU. OK this is gonna be good because even the concept is making me tear up.]

I haven't done much writing the past few days as weekend was birthday celebrating with friends and fam, but I am back on my bullshit for the Sinners and Sea Monsters jam

It's just going to be a very small, short game! There will be some silliness marked with bestial horror in an anti-Jaws way
Selachii - God’s perfect creatures. Untouched by the ravages of time. Beholden to none save the Lord on high. Created to act as His soldiers in the depths where angels could not fly. Without fear, without pause, content to breed, live, die, and wait until the horn that sounds the Revelation. The water thrums with anticipation. The deepest ocean is stirring. Darkness is coming. This is the moment you have endured for. Despite man’s sins towards you, loss of habitat, of family, of respect, you shall fight for them and every other creature bestowed the gift of His creation. So arise, brave warriors of the depths! With gnashing teeth and flailing fin, arise and fell the enemies of Creation! PREMISE: The Anti-Christ has come and summoned a legion of foul sea creatures. You are sharks who must destroy these enemies of creation.

I didn’t realize what it was when I grabbed it, only that I recognized the artist from their work in The Faraway Paladin

I haven't touched it in a while but I'm slowly getting back into the swing of working on Kings of the Hill, my LUMEN-based bancho game, and this is the kind of top tier inventory and writing you should expect

In terrifying news for some reason the moon turned RED yesterday in the middle of the night for no apparent reason??? And i checked it wasn’t a scheduled blood moon so I can only assume it was some ominous ass portent of doom

Labyrinth may be a cultural name? These are ball maze games in other places, and are usually made of wood/plastic with a metal ball that runs through!

For the appreciation of the crowd, our two beauty queens are in the middle and I am the shorter person on the left.

May edit slightly but WIP short story posting. This story has become a different beast from when I started writing it but this exchange has not changed one iota
Did you have any further requests? “Yeah. You can go fuck yourself.”

I think wherever possible folks who make stuff should have a hobby that is divorced from their own process of making things. Mine in the past couple of years has been stickers!

I'm not going to lie y'all, this is the funniest thing anyone has ever said about anything I've written

I want to frame this and put it on the wall
Um. This reads like someone going to see a horror film and then not liking it because it was scary.

Btw I will say that whiskey was fucking incredible. Bartender gave us a little of it each. Tasted like rolling thunder on a summer storm. Magical.

Sometimes game design is the notes you scribbled on a post-it note at the bar while drunk
A pink post it note that says RED ONE - The Beloved - Once, they embodied everything that you ever wanted. Not perfection but the lack thereof. What you had wanted but could never bring

Two days until our Jacks hit the road for #Pocketopia, and if you back you'll be receiving a suite of incredible major arcana tarot cards from @feralcharlie.bsky.social that you can use to play!!!

Join the party over at: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...
Three tarot cards. On the left is the chariot, which shows the shadow of a motorcycle. In the middle is Justice, with a helmeted motorcyclist flinging money about to be hit by a truck. On the right is the fool, with a motorcyclist on their motorbike whose shadow stretches out over a flower.
