This was one of the best drinks and worst hangovers I've had in a while. Talking about it, Carolina Death Crawl, and Nujabes was great fun, though.

This week starts with militarized violence on the west coast and ends with a military parade through the capital on the east coast. The message to everyone in between: “You will be crushed.”

If you're looking for an illustrator and dig weird shit from millenials' childhoods (Klasky Csupo cartoons, the weirder Nicktoons, illustrations from Roald Dahl) and/or OSR aesthetic, hit up @danielharila.bsky.social. You won't be disappointed.

Obviously, this is just an overview of Zephyr. If you want to see me get deeper into other aspects of the book or game, leave a comment and let me know. (And remember to follow me so you don’t miss it.) Thanks for reading! 🧵23/23

I ran into friction in chapter 1, which uses token symbols and technical terms without having explained their meanings or how the system works—common in RPG manuals but still frustrating. Fede did this for obvious narrative reasons, which work well, but they still clash with accessibility. 🧵20/23

Character creation and core rules conclude with rules-reference spreads. The table of contents’ adorable marginalia also help with quick navigation. Both are welcome usability features. 🧵16/23

Some key sections use comics to walk players through important procedures and to convey Windfolk myth. 🧵15/23

Almost EVERY. SINGLE. SPREAD. is a full-bleed illustration with superimposed text. Fede ensures that the book remains readable while also being an artbook in its own right. And the writing is every bit as lush and colorful verbally as it is visually. 🧵14/23

Zephyr has some other fun easter eggs. This passage cleverly embeds roleplaying in a roleplaying game. And the Zephyr colors are the inks used to print the book. 🧵13/23

Fede’s writing embodies anarchism’s antihierarchical nature. It avoids the formality of many RPG manuals, using colloquial language and imagined dialogues between writer and reader to make you feel like you’re in a conversation, not a lecture. 🧵11/23

The tokens are the main game material. The four colors represent the titular Zephyr: the life force of the land and all beings in the game. (The silver backside reiterates the book’s white icons, which represent tokens of any color.) 🧵6/23

Besides the book and the maps, you get a set of tokens—four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, all with silver backsides—and a little velvet drawstring bag to keep them in. 🧵5/23
