It pretty much killed the moment for me.

How did you feel about the electric guitar wailing a solo during the eclipse?

Without looking it up, my guess: you can blame modernists/modernism for that.

"It's like candy and but worse"

.. love that passionately ..

Might make more sense to count parking spots? Most of the Roosevelt (go Riders!) is a bus turnaround.

Beasts and Blessings is my favorite 2025 RPG related thing by a long shot. Thanks for making stuff.

The floorplan is nearly good as-is, could use a loop...

Here is a d1 table supplement for yours. Also iconic imagery and easy for players to remember.

War is logistics. How are they going to win when they don't know the password for their own bank account, or where the keys for the tank are.

justified is CLASSIC. if you want ye olde thyme look, go for it. hell throw in the long s and we are having a party.

strong images in there, down to the little details, like the sphinx ornament. also, a square book is a bold move!

Mappi Mundi of cobbled together public domain images.

World map for Thither Ruins of the Dimlit Downlands. This sorry, unmanifesting, pocket realm has been reduced to a little octahedron with 6 sorry Boroughs. The non-euclidean shape will surely confuse your Players if they try to map.

Link in Bio to the FREE ADVENTURE.

The very police force that has this slide in their training materials...

Thither Ruins of the Dimlit Downlands is not ALL MELANCHOLY. Can the PCs perform a Bar Rescue to get information to help them escape? Just need to: convince the undead to have a beer, remove a dead customer in secret, put on a "quality" puppet show...

American 19th century fantasy is the best fantasy.

What if your name has nothing to do with fish. It's still allowed to have a fish head portrait right?

Would be fun to combine with a foundling wheel. I've always wanted to write an adventure where the PCs have to infiltrate a school like this by temporarily turning themselves into babies. Like a 24 hour baby potion.

I cannot emphasize how much I love this book. Did you guys collaborate on the writing?

Ice 9 but real.

250 page mini-campaign adventure: Thither Ruins of the Dimlit Downlands is nearly ready for public playtesting. Here is a preview. If you hit pause and read it, keep in mind its pre-editing.

my first time reading the book, I spent about 10 minutes reading, and re reading that first paragraph. no one warned me that it's the best first paragraph ever written.

Gated on that is such a classic sound.

Pliny is one of my favorite unreliable narrators. I also love the information flow, the order and the emphasis of it all. It seems random, and honestly I think it's just straight sloppiness; but I enjoy pretending as a reader it's fully intentional.

Ditto. Paolo is peerless when it comes to understanding magic and fantasy in general.

The soundtrack, experimental and daring. I can't believe Disney let that happen.

Yup. Noticed it in Silent Titans... I like the light serif for body text. Reads like a scanned book.

Been on an Averia kick. All forms.

I am free of the shackles of drive-thru-rpg exclusivity and now have an itch page. My books now cost one cent more because round numbers feel more itch to me. eeldip.itch.io

Fun. I'll email.
