Recently I've taken part in a bunch of discord live text games and each has reminded me in in some way of my larp experiences. This blog post is an attempt to explore those similarities, and see what lessons the LTRP scene can learn from its in person cousins. thegardenbelow.blot.im/setting/expe...

A deep dive into the lessons live text games can learn from Empire Larp, and the broader fest larp sphere.

Howdy! A bunch of folks who were in #over/under have been cooking up a 92 page zine for #mothership, and we're happy to announce that "Exit, Pursued by a Dream" is available! All proceeds go to the El Paso Food Not Bombs chapter, and preordering is until June 9th! theember.itch.io/exit-pursued...

to my mind, the core of pbta is not "2d6+stat with mixed successes", it's the system of "when x trigger happens in the fiction, apply y specific mechanic". Codified, genre specific moves are its main innovation. If you think pbta is just 2d6+stat with varied levels of success, you missed the point

Hello #portfolioday ! I'm Mango, I make art of my south asian mythic fantasy project Witness Crescent Suns! I also make small rpgs and youtube/tiktok videos inspired by my characters and interests. I'm collecting hats at my own sleepy pace hehe.

Digital comic spread with two pages. The main colours are whites and greyish blues with red and purple as dominant colours on the two characters in the spread.

I hope you all feel valued, that your voices resound in the new year, that you never be drowned out. I hope that when you are tired, places of rest and safety will be close by. I hope that you are happy this year. I hope that you survive. I hope that your heart hurts less. I hope you'll have peace

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all. thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr

One of my favorite parts of early #over/under was @erfjordan.bsky.social's character Briar and her poetry. So I wrote a zine about it!

What an experience. So many Dreamers. So many storylines. May we all remember this Dream when we awake! #over/under

For the 1000-player megagame. My character decided to be a "journalist" running LUCIDITY, the in-game gossip rag we all deserve at Prospero's Dream. This is the first time I tried my hand at graphic design. Here are the issues I've made so far! Enjoy! #over/under

A fictional in-game gossip mag named LUCIDITY
October 15 Issue 2 by Arka Publishing Limited
Headlines include: "Need a job? Here are the most moral arms dealers."
"CHC Tokens: Biggest bubble yet?"
"The cost of faith? Cardinals for sale"

I've had a lot of questions about a new printing of Songbirds, especially since the release of the Complete PDF, and I want to be transparent and say, yeah, I have been thinking about it a lot. The problem is that I want it to look like these classic reprints:
