this is like. way less of a joke than it seems

it's called yomi no tsugai because you go to the yomi and you get tswo guys there

Art from a few years ago of my character from a Songs for the Dusk (by @yrgirlkv.leafside.studio) campaign, Aivi, and her very strange little familiar.

"but don't farming and energy efficiency involve other people who could be your friends? and aren't there good reasons to want interpersonal efficiency, like dividing yr time between lots of friends or making sure a negotiation is fair?"

yes. this is where life becomes what we call "complicated"

i think a lot of problems are caused by a specific and very human impulse to get the most result from the least effort—an impulse that can noble for things like "improving farming" or "being more energy efficient" and is often disastrous for things like "negotiating with others" or "having friends"

honestly you expect a post of this nature from me basically once a week

yomi no fucking tsugai!!!

SO true bestie

my copies are still like 3 days out...

honored to announce that my very first defeat in pokemon champions was a game lost to a mega meganium

okay yeah this has the juice

akane banashi completely slipped my notice but this is the second time i've seen praise! i'll have to check it out

god i can't believe we get yomi no tsugai and witch hat atelier anime in the same season. absolutely stacked listing

i just read this at my local library and it was very sweet! i have liked your art for a while but never had a chance to get into the books before; got mis(h)adra recently and i'm excited to crack it open :)

where 2 cop the hoodie...

t shirt that reads:

NOT A STEPDAD
JUST A DAD WHO STEPPED UP
BUT THE BIOLOGICAL DAD IS THERE TOO AND HE'S A DECENT FATHER TBH
I HAVE A LOW OPINION OF HIS RELATIONSHIP SKILLS BUT I CAN'T FAULT HIS PARENTING
IT'S COMPLICATED

oh idr the name of the base that you're using for the torso but it looks so good

many happy returns! i enjoyed our conversations about game design

someday someone will defeat the recipe metaphor and it will make me happy because to truly defeat the recipe metaphor you would have to come up with a truly strange tabletop RPG :)

for what it's worth, the joke of "recipe metaphor undefeated" is that it's a hyperbolic self-aggrandizement of my best effort to integrate this idea with the tabletop scene

IDK MAN I THINK IT DEPENDS

...and the only way to deny that control was to completely avoid that location. every instance of concentrated power felt completely static! i still suspect i'd be a poor player of this game but it feels like there is greater room for engagement now

"the situation you're in" is a sharp addition because if there's one thing i think made me think a lot about violence's absence in old sapphicworld, it was the number of characters who had what was described as unshakeable control over a given place...

the last time i read sapphicworld there were almost no options for violence, and if i recall characters who were violent were considered poorly suited for the game because it was generally not concerned with violence

you can kill and die! (presumably sapphicworld characters do not, by default, survive being tied to a boat that is on fire)

very easy to absorb while also being evocative, and also, wow, sapphicworld got hardcore while i wasn't looking

to some degree the character is constructed in the mind of the reader by the novel and subject to their interpretation, but on a literal level the actions of the character are solely up to the novel's author. and what characters notice is a huge part of writing compelling prose!

certainly many people come to RPGs to create and express their own character. in being connected to the RPG's setting, this character is created in cooperation with the game's designer, but they are still very much a creation of the player. this feels much less true for novels!

novels and essays being sentence/graf is def not in contention lol, i'm just surprised at the idea that either of those are /more/ appropriate than the cookbook/manual option, especially given that several RPG books explicitly call themselves manuals
