Do you mean specifically the Monster of The Week TTRPG from Evil Hat Games (haven't had a chance to place it yet but wanna based on their other games), or just in general?

Either ways, this sounds amazing & you absolutely should. Be a good framing for oneshots

Is it the cloying echo of a dowager's perfume or the tart notes of summer sunlight as teeth pierce the flesh? A warmly spiced herald of nana's cobbler, or a festering haze hanging over a fermenting pile of windfall, attended by a mob of butterflies & bumblebees drunk on one last boon of the season?

Mood. Some of my chars have heightened senses of smell, meanwhile mine's shot after a lifetime of sinus issues. So I don't try to define the scent, but contextualize it. Why's it important that the character notices it? What's it mean to them?

As someone w/ a series hinged on the pandemic, this is interesting. I used COVID/quarantine bc it's generally a common experience now & I'd feel out of my depth writing cancer (despite multi family members having it)

The narrative gulf between 'battling cancer' v 'COVID victim' can't be ignored tho

Having worked as a freelance artist: can confirm

Art is an act of hope. Writing is an act of rebellion. The world will always need more stories--from real human beings, not bullshit plagiarism machines. Every book is a love story from the author, and every reader is fighting the war against cruelty, ignorance, and hopelessness. We are fighting.

If you guys are going to keep doing faintly haughty discourse about romantasy, I'm going to keep using it to market my romantasy flavoured romcoms, bluesky.
