'90s video game magazine style ad showing a soldier with glowing eyes zoned out and holding his own brain. Text over the image reads:

THIS IS PVT. PARKER COX.

PARKER DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE ZONE. WILL YOU?

"MANDELBROT SET" is shown in a messy, multicolored title font, over several screenshots. Ad copy reads:

MANDELBROT SET is the new exclusion zone expedition campaign from CLAYMORE Roleplaying Games. With 36 pulse-pounding random encounters, new abilities like psychic magnetism and retractable claws, plus a map that changes every time you play, it’s so mind-bending and immersive, you’ll forget to go to your job (not that you have one anyway).

You’re looking at the next generation of tactical tabletop action, and it’s only available for FIST: Ultra Edition, the paranormal mercenary roleplaying game. What will you find in the Zone?

the whole reason i make the games and stories that i make is that i refuse to cede military history to reactionaries, and i want people to have non-reactionary art when they go looking for military stuff

a) this poem is a banger b) it expresses the exact frustration that grips me every time someone ""feministly"" explains that military history is Boy Stuff

I tend to think every nerdy trans woman should read Margaret Atwood's The Loneliness of the Military Historian and sit with it for a moment no matter what it is exactly she's nerdy about, but that goes double for you www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47788/...

Took a few this evening to plot out a FIST adventure using the awesome tools @claymorerpgs.bsky.social wrote into the ULTRA Edition.

@gurglespasm.bsky.social would love the random rolls!
