Going to take a beat here to cynically say I am actually running an o/u like shortly after the anniversary starting October 16th. Its 10 days with minimal live order processing, so shouldn’t devour your life quite as much, if you want a little ltrp as a treat. thegardenbelow.blot.im/apa-1/so-im-...

Dusty is doing phenominal work ahead of #arborpoint launching, you can expect to see them in the starting KLB Visionary role with a whole bunch of cool ic games to play built for use with APA's dice roller bot. Exactly the kinda keyed in player you love to see for a project like this 🥰

Well in about two weeks im running another open table megagame set on a dystopian space station, but this time its an original setting built from the ground up for fest-larp style player to player politicking. I was going to have it start on the anniversary, but weekends didnt quite line up 😅

The strongest hero in the history of the Mauran Concern could lift above their head 6 crates, 3 in each hand. Hope this helps.

Juniper Harper Lark @juniperhl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Predictably, every time I give any inclination of how many crates a thing costs or requires or might need, people try to work out how much a crate is actually worth. The answer is always "about 1 crate". Any discrepancies in crate size is due to diegetic crate fraud. Dont worry about it.

Juniper Harper Lark @juniperhl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
One of my favourite bits to come out the Arbor Point Antiquity pregame channels is the Mauran Standard Crate, an entirely tautological unit of measurement used to describe all in game quantities in a way that stops people doing fuck ass maths to poke holes in the world buildings.

Getting out ahead of the Arbor Point Antiquity game by immediately making terrible photobashes for &SCARR! who have stolen my heart and wallet and blood and future and past and present and go read @juniperhl.bsky.social 's very good wiki about the whole thing arborpointantiquity.blot.im
Uhhhh. How do you really describe this. An edit of a poster detailing "Survivability in Psiwar environments" different survivability methods have been crossed out or replaced with words like "bimbofication" or "lol penetrated". The entire image has been filtered through greenish piss. In the background, faint images of US dollars and explosions can be seen. A skull has been duplicated 4 times and annihilated with emulated scan lines. The symbols "&!" Appear throughout the image with no care as to their placement. In red, the text "SHOOT YOUR LOCAL POS3R" and "KILL PEOPLE FOR MONEY" can be seen.

Its actually legit kinda fucked how much a bunch of disparate wiki pages can suddenly be a whole ass books worth of writing if you throw it in affinity. The power of the blog really is in tricking yourself into thinking its not that much writing.

Playing around with laying out a few wiki pages in a fully laid out PDF on a bit of lark, and decided to give myself a little treat and write a fuck ass disclaimer at the front. Love a creepy clandestine monolith of all caps text. Its so soothing.

managed to get my APA writing for the day done early, so I mocked up a little theoretical cover for a book version of the wiki that I might try and get sorted once season 1 is done. Popping that up on my itch might be a nice way to take donations for running it to? Much to think about.

Trying to find a particular art essay but its name has slipped my mind. I want to say its a classical leftist one that talks about art as an escape valve for radical impulse under capital, and that its sort of of a type with Walter Benjamins work. If anyone knows what im wittering about lmk.

One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight
