First post is about the difference between character voice, narrative voice, and player voice, and its told in those voices because i am, in fact, like that

The worst part about apparently fairly accurately understanding what an OSR's are is that I kind of feel obligated to make one now and i've barely even got halfway through the zine im already writing.

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all.

A lil step by step of how I do the collaged layout for my o/u mothership zine work. Girls will in fact do literally anything to avoid learning how to use actual layout software

Finding out a lot of people into Over/Under were Blaseball folks comes as no surprise. Finding out they're all Crabs fans and that the Crabitat still has folks active in it is very very funny though. Go Firefighters 🔥

Another big style test, this time a double spread at the actual dispatch size of the publication. Trying to thread a needle on collage style and legibility. Could still do with a little more of that overwhelming full text claustrophobia some of the best mothership zines have though...

Most hex crawling procedures dictate that you have time to do one, maybe two things a day before you have to rest for the night.
This is textual proof that all adventurers have ADHD.

#over/under was not one of a kind. I have been playing similar games for the last EIGHT YEARS. Today, I give this medium a name - "Live Text Roleplay" - and help you build a community of your own.

Tentative style test to round out the weekend. Content is very placeholder but am happy with the vibe visually. Need to spend some time with mothership proper rather than just via #over/under before i can really feel confident writing the mechanical parts of this, hence no stats in this draft.

the more I think about the experience of APOF Dream hardness and horror vs. OU Dream, the more I realize in lieu of being in an existential/techno-horror dystopia, I basically spent a month in Gotham City. Its own kind of terror but markedly different.

My #over/under post game blogging run continues with a big ol' post about how fucking weird it was playing a character with the same name as me for a month. Going to be unpacking it for a while but this is a start...

One of the most peculiar quirks of playing over/under this past month or so was the fact that at the game start I had no idea I would be leaning so

There is someone roleplaying as Anthony Bourdain in #OVER/UNDER, just going around doing monologues in the various public spaces, and it's truly.... so good.
![[Image of stylized Anthony Boudain in front of a magenta cyberpunk background]
And this is where every twisting corridor of the dream ends: the city core hits me like a hangover that never really ended. Everything’s too bright and too dark at the same time: holo-ads bleeding through clouds of coolant steam, promising pleasure, relief, and escape in six-second loops nobody’s really watching anymore. I can feel the hum of the station beneath my boots, like a tired animal breathing slow, or maybe it’s the low rumble of the fighting league. It’s all stacked metal and patched wiring here; architecture built by a committee of welders and dreamers who never spoke the same language. Probably several committees.

Down on the streets I watch a drunk token miner yell at a vending machine that won’t take their credits. Somewhere above, a train rattles the ceiling as it leaves for a better, safer block that’s probably equally as tenuous. It’s loud, dirty, alive, and, in its own broken way, honest. You can’t gentrify vacuum, as much as this station tries. Holographic ads hawk enigmatic augmentations, political slogans that go out of date in an hour, or a good time of the sapphic variety. Smashing. that explains why the air tastes of android coolant. There’s the ever present hint of politics and commerce everywhere, inside the market, outside on the street; anyone not selling something seems to be planning, kneeling or squatting against walls, on the floor, in the street, whispering information or shouting it. This looked exactly like the Prospero Dreams of my fevered imaginings: dead drops, brush contacts, burst transmissions, betrayals.
When I finally leave the market, the blocks are dark, and I pass a few buildings lit by flickering electric light. Broom closet-sized alleyway stores and restaurants serving mysterious narcotics and hot meals for a few credits, flickering LEDs barely revealing the silhouettes of seated figures reading bratva literature. There are cryptic …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wda5bmzr3db5dwkc4m2vm46k/bafkreifhtg2noex4lf3t62yjz3jn3s7kcxnoclijlgnvrji7nhdxg3qhga@jpeg)

Concept: chess with literally no rules changes but every piece has an elaborate backstory that the player must read before play begins. Sure, it’s easy to sacrifice a faceless nameless pawn, but not so easy when you know about their life story and everything that got them to this war
