Wrapping up layout and production for Netcrawl:Arcologies. A world building book for inside the computer adventuring. While designed for my new RPG, Netcrawl, it is great for any sort of Cyberpunk game. Cover art by @thecodexnoirmatic.bsky.social

*I used to argue with @johnshirley2024.bsky.social and tell him that a future revival of fascism seemed rather farfetched

*Why, how little I knew, and how much John knew, and after 50 years I'm not too proud to admit that, here on my cyberpunk cracker-barrel, adjusting my dentures

"Crucially, [Bruce Sterling] articulated the genre’s defining cultural synthesis: the “overlapping of worlds that were formerly separate: the realm of high tech and the modern pop underground”

Good read but always weird to see a genre I followed from early on be looked at from a historic lens.

Coming in November: Netcrawl

A TTRPG about adventuring inside a computer system. Everyone goes in, seconds pass in the meatspace as players spend hours conquering a cyber-dungeon - together.

as society collapses into a dystopian hell, think of the satisfaction you'll derive from looking back at the cartoons that predicted a lot of it. Time is running out to reserve your copy though.

It is a juvenile affair. And not in a good way. One book was more than enough.

It's great that AI is giving scammers a way to spray us all with oceans of zero effort dogshit. If the modern world previously had one problem, it was that there wasn't enough zero effort dogshit around.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Near finished cover I think. Just needs the Panic Engine logo. But this is a nice reveal of the new Ruination Pilgrimage title logo done by @alderdoodle.bsky.social.
