Gotta shout that @atticus.haus continually impresses our team w/her design skill, vision & talent... while being an amazingly chill person to hang with.

It's great to partner w/designers who inspire us to become better as well.

It's one of the many reasons you should back ttrpg.link/cryptidshow

A non-exhaustive list of dangers you might face in Absurdia:

🏘️ Abrupt zoning changes
🚇 Being swallowed by the subway
🗼The station’s eternal pledge drive
📖 Getting lost in a good book
🌲 An arboreal incursion
🕐 Time whoopsies
🪞 Opposite Day
🌛 The Moon

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

10 days left in the Absurdia campaign! I’m feeling fired up for the home stretch so it’s time for a new goal.

And this time, it’s ~personal~

If we reach 400 backers I will release the joke playbook I made about playing me, Quinn Majeski, trapped inside my own game.

Meta! Self indulgent! Absurd!

An excerpt of the “Quinn Majeski” Absurdia joke playbook. Text reads:

The Quinn Majeski
A narrative designer and fourth wall anomaly
“Wait, what do you mean I’m a playbook?”

Essence: Bandwidth
Refresh: Finish a major project without a new one lined up

I want to back this at the $75 tier, and I want Absurdia to reach the 25k guest writers stretch goal so fervently. I will probably land on backing at the $50 tier, but omg that GM reference screen and special edition hardcover

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!

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Can I suggest

If you are stuck on a project

Talk to another fucking human being about it

I guarantee whatever solution you come to will be better than anything "AI" could spit out

Tonight @goosepoopgames.com joins us to talk about Dice Pools & Drawing Maps in Black Flies!

I made this back when I first launched Absurdia and only about a dozen people have ever seen it.

Is it ridiculous and borderline unplayable? Yes. Does anyone actually want to play it? Unclear.

Does it allow you to Jumanji into the game wearing a metaphorical Quinn skin suit? Yes.

Many years ago I did a show called Sagas of Sundry.

It was immersive horror, great storytelling, and reality show style skill challenges.

Now I want to bring it back, but call it Tales of Dread.

But I need your help. So I'm taking this project to Kickstarter.
