It really fucked me up! It was right before strat was spiked anyway, but I pulled the press team into a thread to figure out if we needed to lean on the church. (It was too late)

Pathways out of Space - Homeward Vector Prospero’s dream was rich with lush voices.Β  Character writing that brings color to every whiskey bottle and bulkhead abound in nearly every thread. It’s hard to call a month long...

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?)

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

What I'm really worried about is that the folks not in the know are going to point to Embark's CEO and say "they're using it." All of these guys talk to each other in a big AI Echo chamber.

Some movie posters for the Old Drydock Theater on #over/under 😈 probably my favorite set of posters to come out of the server, I’ve always wanted to make movie posters, and I think old Godzilla posters were the perfect inspo

Kit's "assassination" made the leaked faction doc so much more convincing and made CHC seem capital E evil which added so much to me early days of o/u. Incredible that it was basically a scheme to create chaos which ended in a slip on a banana peel.

a digital drawing of a gray cat with a capped eye and studded collar, leaning forward and bleeding from the nose. It looks at the viewer with defiance or determination. Text around it says β€œget killed eight times/ come back nine”. The red border around the image has two cars, arrows, knives, and poison bottles, numbered to match its deaths.
