a wyrm (wingless dragon) coming out of a pear in snake-like fashion, with a menacing head full of apparent teeth, sets of horns and butterfly-like antennae; the pear is still attached to its tree, the dense brown and red foliage framing the scene

a formline design of a plane creature or aeromorph, with a blunt snout and big front paws. various passengers are visible through three windows on its torso, each shown to be resting peacefully, gawking outside, and watching in a more contented way respectively. the passengers seem to have vaguely animal characteristics. surrounding the plane are billows of clouds, a stamped boarding pass with a direct flight route that reads "TSM > SYN", and a swirly red line depicting the route with map-style pins at either end.

Some would have it that the Dragon waxes mighty in its old age when it is fed by its young: this is called Drachenkönig
Tangled tails of the great grotesque mas, when the new should scramble the decrepit writhe, this catatonic graves soiling  entombination, mummific in earthen barrow swallowed hard by  land. But as it turns,  lands would vomit out this monolith, violent and sore, If the fiefdom had abused their good serfs and made their lives rotten, bitter. then so it is, great tangled corpse would bubble up and emerge near the offenders land, its bestial stench would be unbearably vile, it would turn the offenders' food rotten and spoilt, word would spread like a blackened plague, and the rage-filled mobs would come, in their droves cast down their betrayers in a sickening frenzy fit for their vile new king

[rings bell] theoryslop! theoryslop! come get yer theoryslop while it's still hot!
one page. header reads "RPG DESIGNER THEORYSLOP ALIGNMENT CHARTS & SHEET." gray text under the header reads "You have 20 points to assign to each stat array, Pendragon-style. For tri- or otherwise multi-polar arrays, express the stats as ranges, e.g. “Gamist 1–7 / Dramatist 8–9 / Simulationist 10–20.”
subheaders followed by lines for writing read: "Designer: / Project: / Link:"
subheader reads "Binary Traits," followed by a list of silly game studies paired descriptors and space to write stats: "Ludologist / Narratologist // Game-as-Activity / Game-as-Object // Proceduralist / Anti-Proceduralist // Diegetic / Endogenous // Suitsian / Non-Suitsian // Closed Lusory Goal / Open Lusory Goal // Toy-Game / Meta-Game // Character-Locked / Authorial // Problem-Solving / Story-Telling // Rulebooks / Adventures."
subheader reads "Special Twinned Binary Traits (the Bartle Zone)," followed by gray text reading "Assign 20 points to each axis, but make a single roll when testing the combined traits." following is a two-axis chart, north-south reading "Social / Non-Social" and west-east reading "Aggressive / Passive." 
in the second column, a subheader reads "Multi-Polar Traits" followed by shapes with stats at their corners: triangle, "Dramatist / Gamist / Simulationist"; square, "Agon / Alea / Mimicry / Ilinx"; hexagon, "Classic / OSR / Trad / Nordic larp / Neotrad / Storygames"; square, "Gamer / Actor / Socialite / Immersive." 
a subheader reads "Skills," followed by a big list of 32 skills, with space for stats next to each: Academia, Acting, Art Direction, Blog, Cartography, Copyediting, Credit Rating, Day Jon, Game Studies, Graphic Design, Illustration, Layout, Line Editing, Livestream, Marketing, Networking, Operations, Organizing, Podcast, Printing, Production, Proofreading, Shitpost, Shortform Video, Social Media, Thirst Trap, Video Essay, Web Dev, Writ. (Adventure), Writing (Lore), Writing (Rules), Other: "
gray text reads "Sam Sorensen, September 2026"same theoryslop designer sheet as before, this time filled out in handwritten green, for me, Sam. I skew towards problem-solving, goal-driven play, as well as towards adventures, imaginary worlds, and simulationism. the notable inclusions in my skills lists are a +6 in game studies, a +4 in academic, blog, layout, line editing, and adventure-writing, and a +2 in "museum," my "other" skill

i was in this situation. figure out how to describe any tiny project you can as something bigger, ask trustworthy friends to serve as professional references, exaggerate your skills (this is normal and expected; also, there is a high chance that you assume your skills are less than they really are)
