Recent road trip and seeing 10,000,000 fiber optic line signposts inspired me to add more KC signage for authenticity

Doing finishing touches on MCM and Victorian. Should be in the current Keepsake County Beta by the end of the week. Will be added to Architect, Ozarks, Guess Who's Invited, and some other unreleased maps. May mess around and add some new maps as well, we'll see!

Wall/exterior doodles for Keepsake County. Just looking at MCM and McMansions and Victorian houses for little bits and pieces to pull out and turn into new exteriors.

This is a good an important piece but let's not overlook the bit where retired French railway workers are casually running a Batcave for train nerds

Quote:
That summer of 1993, as a last resort, we placed a classified ad in a French railway enthusiasts magazine: “Seeking information about 1914 Orient Express.” One issue later, our phone rang.

The voice on the other end proposed that we meet in their club, in the basement of Paris Gare de l’Est. We passed through a glass door marked “No Access” to discover a cavern of rooms filled with vintage railway posters, books, and the biggest working model train set I’ve ever seen. Our informants—a pair of retired French railway employees—were waiting.

We explained what we were looking for, and what SNCF had told us. A glint appeared in the two gentlemen’s eyes. The elder of the pair leaned forward. “They think they destroyed the archives,” he said. “We took ‘em home. We’ve got ‘em.”

It's cool to imagine a universe where thinking deeply and critically about who you are, who you have been, and who you ultimately want to be come is wholly celebrated and supported, both for characters who do choose to change in all sorts of ways, and characters who are comfortable as they are.
