Here in the home stretch feels like a good time to remind folks that Absurdia has a number of excellent actual plays! For anyone who likes to learn about a game by listening to people play, here's a short thread with a few shows that highlight what the game has to offer

Absurdia Update: meet the guest writers!

I’m beyond excited to announce Elliot Davis, Irving Benitez, Kendrick Smith, and Samantha Leigh as our stretch goal guest writers!

At $25k, this wickedly talented cabal will put together a kaleidoscope of ready to play one shot scenarios for Absurdia 👁️

The end is nigh, neighbors! The Absurdia crowdfunding campaign comes to a close THIS FRIDAY 👁️

We’re currently less than $2,800 away from our guest writing stretch goal. It's an imminently achievable goal - so now’s the time to back if you haven't and share with your friends (& rivals) if you have!

10 days left in the Absurdia campaign! I’m feeling fired up for the home stretch so it’s time for a new goal.

And this time, it’s ~personal~

If we reach 400 backers I will release the joke playbook I made about playing me, Quinn Majeski, trapped inside my own game.

Meta! Self indulgent! Absurd!
An excerpt of the “Quinn Majeski” Absurdia joke playbook. Text reads: The Quinn Majeski A narrative designer and fourth wall anomaly “Wait, what do you mean I’m a playbook?” Essence: Bandwidth Refresh: Finish a major project without a new one lined up

Nonbinary illustrator in nyc - I love colors, horror, trying to find beauty in the strange & unsettling and vice versa 💖

Illustration of a ghostly white arm covered in flowers, butterflies, candy, peppers and sparkles. Unclear if these things are growing out of it or being pushed in Illustration of the movie the substance. Sue & Elizabeth are naked, facing away & holding hands. Surrounding them are sparkles, eyes, flesh, teeth? Beer, a vial of green stuff, eggs, and strange hand, stars, a tv with a close up of sues lips, and they are sharing a blood transfusion Illustration of the movie I saw the tv glow. The two main characters are floating on opposite sides of each other on the image, separated by fog, an ice cream truck and the villain ‘mister melancholy’ in a 90’s tv set. There’s two black coffins on each side of the tv Illustration is the cover for the game ‘the time we have’. The top is a strange cluster of flower growths that also look like fungi. There’s a for separating down the middle with two boys sitting on either side. The one on the left is glowing and has similar growths on him. The one on the right is holding a flashlight
