Introducing TRAP, a short and irregularly published zine of adventures, mishaps, and c. If you like TTRP vibes more than you like explicit instructions, TRAP may be for you. It is not going to be available digitally for a little while, but if you want a copy, I will mail you one for free.

Interior spread from TRAP, with a man writing the word ἀνάγκη on a wall, spirals of ink emanating outward.

Back cover of TRAP zine, two armored figures at combat, one with pole-axe lodged in their face.

said as much but this happens because they're not disciplined and because they're not in control. also, for those who think they want nonviolent resistance, this is what it looks like: getting shot because and not despite posing no threat except a moral one

Packin’ on the pounds
Are you drinkin’ 8-9 beers?
Are you getting a CPAP a day or two after you get back from vacation? 🎶

Why put nasty hairy little men in a setting when you can have ducks? It doesn't make any sense.

A silhouetted figure in a doorway open into a room with a black tiled floor and cave walls with grotesque monster faces and hands carved or embedded in the stone

A person in a skeleton costume raises her hands triumphantly behind sheets of fire

People already have cochlear implants that do not work. The companies stopped working on the product, or the person with the implant couldn't afford repair or upgrade. We are already there. Been there for a while.

What if cyberpunk but none of the technologies actually worked

Expensive gene editing that doesn't actually do anything. "AI" that simply vomits randomly generated text. Fulldive VR brain implants that only make you hallucinate vividly, thought-reader scan machines that are just more random text AI

“you may now use an LLM to generate and delete code!” what in this life thrills you? what stirs the placid waters of thy heart to passion? what drives you to leap from your seat & sprint into the world of one million million colors, and find loved ones in strangers, and make days perfectly your own?
