Live footage of @grinningrat.bsky.social in every war room meeting
Being a mid-ranking faction officer in #OVER/UNDER has been stressful enough that I commissioned a talented denizen (@tonytranrpg.bsky.social) to make a commemorative meme of what the experience has felt like.

Day 4 (I think?) of #over/under

@chrisair.itch.io making weird posters for the bosses (boss faces by @amandalee.bsky.social )
I feel a sickening sense of unease every time I go into a chat and see Seraphin there. More please!

You're so fucking real for this
Images to fuck/die to
I do not mean this hyperbolically, this is the best game I've ever played.
#OVER/UNDER the Bratva ball, a recap:

- I got to be the pursuent lover in a quasi-regency drama
- got some love advice from the friendzone
- got a back door deal that may change the dream entirely
- stumbled into a three way verbal war (of very gay romance RP)
- against all odds, got the girl

The bratva ball may just be one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life, and knowing that that whole channel has been archived is going to tear me apart in the most beautiful *tears in the rain* way

You've done it again #Over/Under, you absolute bastard game
AND WE HAVE A WHOLE THREE WEEKS LEFT????
One of the craziest things about #OVER/UNDER is that I'm never going to see any you folks the same way again.

Every time I read @keftiu.bsky.social's work I'm going to think of Melody McGinn. Same for @lukegearing.bsky.social and beefstink, @discodan.bsky.social and Vor, and so many others.

Recent Lorcana pieces have been feelin good to me- it's always such a boost to get to work on characters you're excited about

#OVER/UNDER is the apotheosis of the aughts forum RP channels - not in that there haven't been others capturing that essence but that this is the first one I am fully, scarily addicted to checking and engaging with.

I have to write about this next week. Pray a Tempest Co boss survives that long.

One really interesting thing about #over/under is that the deeper you get into it the less you see, in a lot of ways. I've barely left private chats in three days. I have no idea what's going on in the wider game.
Something so cool about #OVER/UNDER is how faction asymmetry leads to players leading totally different lives. Today, I heard about folks preparing powerpoints for their boss, the church is organizing art grants, the union is holding internal elections, and the hackers are shitposting.
