Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP?

Wes Franks @carrion-comfort.com · 05/07/2026

I tire of the petty and fickle discussions of "how to run a game" so I'm including something like this in all of my future releases.

A Note from the Designer: COME ON IN is intended to be a guideline for Keepers to construct their own stories and campaigns off of, while this serves as a technical manual and rulebook for the game, it is unnecessary for you to adhere to every rule and suggestion in this book. If there is something you do not agree with or wish to engage with Rules as Written, then please change or remove it.

It is important to know, the more rules you alter, remove, or replace from COME ON IN, the further you stray from playing the game as intended. I cannot be held responsible for personal enjoyment, satisfaction, and potential conflicts that arise from games that stray from the Rules as Written. Homebrew at your own discretion...

Hargrave House is different from it's neighbors on Belgrave Square. It’s not just a residence, but a place of work… dark work. And some more of that dark work has just landed on the doorstep... #TheBetween #digitalart

A digital image that reads out "What are you afraid is going to happen if you fail?" It's Worse Than That. A common phrase from the TTRPG, The Between. There are red, blue, and black images of a bloody werewolf head, a sun mask, a spider, Victorian era Londoners, an eye, an archway, and a sapphire.

Always dismal to see how much money 5e and AI TTRPG projects make, especially when you had an original supplement for an original indie scifi game with a kickass team that was fighting for support. ttrpg-spider.blogspot.com/2026/05/apri...

A screenshot of a blogspot page detailing the April breakdown for crowdfunding. It shows that 60 campaigns used 5e and made a total of $5,878,186.03.

It also shows 42 campaigns used AI in some way and made nearly $200k.

I love Mortal Kombat so much.

Mortal Kombat Plot Outline:

Two wildly distinct people get into a fight where multiple bodily injuries occur.

One person, probably a tech billionaire who knows muay thai, beats a demon pirate king by shoving his fingers into the demon pirate king's eyes and then calling a satellite death ray to blast the demon pirate king to defeat.

The demon pirate king then explains his entire life story.

Rinse. Repeat.

I love it.

I like how they took multiple prompt attempts, made them B&W and called them "Sketches." Paradox tried to do the same thing for GenAI art in one of their latest VtM releases, was called on it, and tripled down that they were not GenAI, and showed the artists "sketches." Just b&w slop.

Three different GenAI prompt pictures made black and white and labelled "sketch."

You play Manosphere influencers attempting to celebrate at your annual hedonistic retreat at a Florida Keys mansion. Your celebrations are cut short by the death of your "leader" and you must survive a masked serial killer called the Blue Fairy to make it back home.
