Four drawings. The first is labeled "S1" and shows an orange line. The second is labeled "S2" and shows a square with two orange sides and two yellow sides. The third is labeled "S3" and shows a cube where one face is the S2 drawing, and the rest of the cube is blue. The final drawing is unlabeled but shows a tesseract where the inner cube is the S3 drawing, and the rest of the shape is drawn in light blue.

pencil drawing of four characters sitting in what appears to be a lounge. the walls behind them are crumbling up into some sort of Event.

on the left, in a chair, is Victor, dressed in a vest and dress shirt, sitting with one leg crossed over the other

then there is a post it note that says Spoiler

then Veronica is sitting on a couch, clearly engaged in telling a story of some kind, wearing a tank top, over shirt, and track pants

to the right of veronica is Victoria, who is leaning forward with their arms on their knees looking at the viewer. they are wearing a long sleeve shirt, a sleeveless hoodie, and black pants.

there is a coffee table at the bottom of the image with a single rose in a vase

now that s3 has been out for a bit, Vic SP2B's gender situation being different between every season is important to me!

it's hard for me to explain why it's important to the character, since it hasn't really been dissected, but it has been my guiding principle with character creation each season

1. INTRODUCTION

You don’t know how the legend came to your knowledge

EIGHTH DAY OF THE WEEK is a game about escaping the grind,
and staying awake for 7 days while enduring everyday life and a
specter of sleep debt you leave behind, all to get a taste of
unlocking the secret eighth day of the week.
This is a game of long term sleep deprivation, complicated
relationships with the self, fluctuating debt of the self, of sleep, to
an entity that is too vindictive to be considered a force of karma.

Content Warning section x
This game deals with themes such as insomnia,
degenerative mental and neurological states,
psychosis, delusions, hallucinations, unreality,
supernatural forces and the occult, death,
capitalism, debt, punitive justice, stalking, drugs,
self harm, and purgatory.

2.HOW TO PLAY SECTION


This is a solo journaling ttrpg where you document your journey of
sleep avoidance for 7 days in order to potentially unlock a secret
eighth day of the week. You play the game by rolling for a prompt
that will color the next 24 hours(?) of gameplay, and keep track of
DEBT which is a negative currency you owe to the LENDER, and
REROLLS for the day that they're assigned to. At the end of each
day, there will be a mechanical change that you incorporate into
your character's resources. You will be directed to either roll for a
prompt in a table or pick a single prompt.

Unless otherwise prompted, roll on the MUNDANE
side for each consecutive day
You will need:
– a six sided die.
– something to write with to journal the game.
At the start of every day, before reading your prompt, write down
how many DEBT you have.

But before that...

A photograph of a postcard with the season 1 album art, Twitter/cohost ats, website link, RSS QR code, and text that reads Some Place to Be is an actual play podcast dedicated to exploring how mechanics inform character and celebrating games by indie designers. Our story follows a group of young adults living in a small town full of mysteries to solve. They'll end up stumbling into something that transforms their reality into something different over and over again while only the main characters seem to notice. With each evolution of the town, we switch to a new game system and explore how this changes our characters. Season 1 We Used to Be Friends In a small college, everyone knows everyone. In a small college in a small town, this is even worse. When an anonymous third party starts sharing everyone's secrets, even a sleepy college town like Puddingstone has its share of mysteries to solve.

If you were receiving a little postcard or business card about @someplacetobe.neocities.org (or any actual play), say while attending a con panel about actual play podcasting, what would you want to see on it?

I'd like to have something like that to take with me to cons

Heavy Metal Heart
YouTube video by Sky Ferreira - Topic Heavy Metal Heart

I can feel the beat of the night in my chest
I feel like I'm a galaxy away from you
I am losing myself, talking to myself in the dark
When my body starts to work like a machine
I can feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart

Five colorful robotic figures spring into action in front of a grassy park with palm trees and a pale blue sky. In the middle stands a large yellow suit of armor like robot with shields on its forearms, to its left a blue robot with oblong holes through its limbs leaps forward, and above them a wiry purple robot with blades on its wrists is mid jump. Up to the right flies a pink robot with skeletal features and large light blue wings. On the ground to the right stands a red robot gripping a large sword.
