Writers, publishing will suck all the joy and light from your life if you let it.
So don't let it.

My fifth novel Red Star Hustle just dropped, and on pub day I did what I usually do on pub day - I swung by Union Square, where there's the Strand and a Barnes & Noble very near one another - probably...

How to find an ending in Over/Under
After a month of emergent story, scheming, and bleed, it all ended with a gardener and a clown.

Bourdain might be the only outsider who really understood what the church was in #over/under.
Absolutely phenomenal character. You were a real joy to have in the game.

"THE WORLD IS FUCKED, BUT PLAY ENDURES."
Very pleased with how #MothershipMonth25 shook out! All On Red is moving into its final draft stage, we’re starting on stretch goal writing, got some plans for Glue Trap Games going forward, and made a bunch of new pals from #Over/Under. The world is fucked, but play endures.

i kept seeing the tempest (merc/soldier) faction in #over/under use the words "mercy" and "consequence" and i was like... that seems... familiar.
It turns out that Tan (@tjslotus.bsky.social) and Otso's friendship was so profound that it literally changed Tempest's narrative internal code.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

This game genuinely feels like we packed a 3-year-long campaign into a month and are now trying to decompress from it
Four hours after the end of #over/under and people are still in the After/Party section, secondary voice chats, private DMs, and three-to-five separate servers talking about the game, the characters, the players, the moments. What an incredible experience. What a ride. A game-changing kind of month.

not a stretch to say that this won the game for all of us, even if we didn't know it
For @samsorensen.bsky.social's #OVER/UNDER I created WEATHERVANE, an in-universe themed combat simulator. Using it, our faction was able to predict the outcome of any battle with a high degree of confidence. It helped us price mercenary contracts and go into any combat knowing the expected outcomes.

could everyone please help my cardinals elect a new space pope. it isn't healthy for them to be stuck in a conclave. they only do this when they are very distressed
i dunno how they're talking about it out on the Dream because i'm sequestered but take it from me: this is all you need to know about the conclave so far #over/under
