working on translating Mythic Bastionland's myth style to a modern setting with a lil analog horror flavor 🕯️
from a ttrpg document: "Signals: 1. A woman with boundless energy tells tales to a small crowd of kids. A thin wire snakes from her nape to a nearby outlet. Her eyes are screwed shut; her voice lags behind her lips."

type shit i'm on for the next carouse issue
a TTRPG room description Trash Lake: Huh. Guess this is where all that refuse goes. Dirty plates, moldy food, tattered clothes pile up chin-high in a pool of innumerable fluids. The smell is noxious - take 1d6 STR damage for passing through unless you can deal with the stench. - Recursion 4+: Long, bulky shapes swim underneath the surface. Some guests at this depth have adapted to their new ecosystem, it seems.

praying feverishly to one day have a wiki article about me that opens like this
a wikipedia article: "Old Girlfriends and Other Horrible Memories is an album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey, released in 1992. It also marked the end of an era for Fahey, who would soon be involved in a downward spiral in his personal life, health and career. "

the fun part about making an expansion pack for my own dungeon is that i can go full bullshit with it and add a secret, alternate bad ending to the main level for no reason
text intended for a dungeon used with the His Majesty the Worm TTRPG. it reads: "The tongue hurls insults as long as the Saint is awake. “Scoundrel. Rake. Rastabout." When held, it radiates a profound unease. Unchecked it attempts to wrap around its bearer’s neck and squeeze until the lights go out."

a piece of actionable text for TTRPG content. the paragraph describes what happens if you place the tip of a thorn in your ear: a single word is transmitted to you over the course of an hour, although from your perspective it only takes a few seconds

ran this encounter in my ongoing electric bastionland campaign last night. added the second bullet point last minute as a joke and it nearly killed two players 😬

more bastionland prep. felt this area was a good fit for a dungeon i wrote a while back, but i didn't want to include the whole thing. instead i chopped it in half and reworked the remainder into an Alternate Future version of the space

might fuck around and add this to the OG's itch page as DLC 😈

and here's a few pieces of art that altered my brain chemistry and now influence a lot of my TTRPG writing!

- anthology of the killer by thecatamites
- the music of john fahey
- invisible cities by italo calvino
- scavengers reign by joseph bennett and charles huettner
the thumbnail image for indie video game anthology of the killer. the protagonist, bb, stands next to a pile of dolls that look just like her in a red-curtained hallway. there's a menacing shadow in the distance the album cover for days have gone by, volume 6, by john fahey. john smiles beatifically, guitar in hand, on the left half of the image. the right half has the album text written in an ostentatious, baroque style the cover of invisible cities, by italo calvino. a top-down view of a modern, urban city. there is no ground, instead the city seems to be floating above a blue sky. clouds pass around the buildings. a promo image for scavengers reign, streaming on max (not true anymore lol). one of the show's crash survivors stoically reads a book in an alien landscape
