So despite this thing being authored by literally hundreds of hands, it ends up being a really interesting distinctly modern piece of 21st century science fiction.

22.10.2025 11:59 โ ๐ 24 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0But it *does* feel like a reworking of cyberpunk for the 2020s: a vision of the future not as a unified aesthetic but as this crazed sensory overload, a hundred different stories and worlds fired at you at once, leaping between crassness and warmth, insincerity and sincerity.

22.10.2025 11:59 โ ๐ 25 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Except - with hundreds of active players it doesnโt feel like that. Everyone is running around their own genres: cosy romance, mob stories, corporate satire, memey jokey nonsense. And itโs full of anachronism and an unstable sense of what the setting even is.

Weโve got a good vs evil bookshop plotline going on. Which is not what I expected when I opened the pretend bookshop.
โCharity attempts to maintain integrity while powerful forces attempt to co-opt and corrupt itโ is probably the most interesting/sophisticated story Iโve seen played out in an rpg.

Multiple points when I considered wandering in, but it did feel like Mr Eyes would ruin the moment.
