Happy Saturday! Did you know this weekend is the perfect time to give Absurdia a try before the campaign ends?

Check out the quickstart for a ready to play one shot that’s a delightfully surreal and silly start to spooky season! 🌿

Curious about Absurdia but still sitting on the inverted white picket fence? Allow me to offer you a quickstart in these trying times!

This baby has everything you need to take the game for a spin, including four pregen characters and a madcap one shot about the perfect lawn run amok
bit.ly/3IgSOip

An excerpt from the Absurdia Quickstart Disturbance “Lawn Maintenance”. Text reads:

“The warm, afternoon sun beating down overhead.

The sizzle of a fresh patty hitting the grill. The smell of fresh cut grass. A perfectly manicured lawn, encircled by a pristine white picket fence.

Beyond the fence? More lawn.

The street? Lawn. The cars? Lawn. The buildings? Lawn. The people? Lawn. The neighborhood? Lawn.

Blades after blades of brilliant green grass, creeping inch by inch through town.”

Thank you, Susie Robles, for this harrowing look into our town’s predicament. You deserved better than third place in the annual Kinderslam Poetry Competition, Susie. Far better.

In related news, City Hall is advising residents taking shelter from the Lawn to remain indoors and await assistance, which is absolutely on its way. Do not panic at the sight of your neighbors’ homes being subsumed by a relentless patina of perfectly manicured viridescence. They are fine and definitely not being slowly suffocated or broken down into nutrients for an unstoppable macroflora. Why are you crying? We said NOT. Does no one listen anymore?

Whatever you do, do not take matters into your hands or attempt to resolve the issue personally. The situation is well within acceptable parameters.

Share Absurdia with that friend that is still listening to WTNV, the two that like Gravity Falls and The Twilight Zone, and that one that is totally normal about Alice in Wonderland!

At 25k I (and other really cool folks!) get to write for the game!

What do technofeudalism, Chinese restaurants, and struggling game platform itch.io have in common? @newmadras.bsky.social has some thoughts, especially about the "platform" part.

Itch.io isn’t like other platforms

It’s like a 3.5 star Chinese restaurant.
