Eventually, I'll have so many fun stories to tell about Over/Under - even after just one day. For now though, discretion above all things.

Sadly between Prosperos Dream and Wildenrem I cannot afford any more modules this month. If any #MothershipMonth modules are interested in getting a review, please send a message my way, because I *want* to play and review you! Here’s my policy idlecartulary.com/2025/04/03/a...

A Review Policy

You might have noticed I review modules, and occasionally games. I do this for two reasons: The first is that I want to critique modules and games for the purpose of learning about design, and the …

watching the mothership #over/under solarian church speedrun the creation of indulgences in the first 4 hours of the game has me convinced this is going to be a spectacularly unhinged month of storytelling.

Gotta say, I’m suspicious of the meat vendor. There’s no good meat in Mothership…

Sean McCoy @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com · 11h

Okay I'm just gonna start posting wild shit I'm seeing in #OVER/UNDER (public facing stuff only).

First: they set up a fucking casino??

Update: Ive been going through stuff and testing/breaking things in this the last couple of days, and I think y'all have a real reason to be excited about this. Sam has set the stage for something potentially truly ridiculous here. All he needs is your participation and buy-in. Give this a shot!

Even if you just faff around, think its too chaotic, log out for five days and then die of starvation, I think it's worth it to see what a thousand people can do when they "just want to play." It's like being on a playground at recess out here.

Stuff like this is what made braunstein and early RPGs so fun and exciting. They were wild and woolly and the boundaries of play were unclear. What Sam has done here is a truly beautiful thing that you should experience, even just for a minute. All you need is a discord account to hop in and /join.

Do not sleep on this. We have 1,200 people in here roleplaying. I've seen people make their own free press, people doing propaganda, recruiting for factions, selling meat (?? how ??). Behind the scenes I'm seeing bosses organize, set orders, outline their vision, make secret plans and hierarchies.
