YES! That was my thought, also---that it be an interlude in an Oath of Moment / Deathwatch campaign. A kind of upstairs-downstairs style contrast

Outlaw merchant was invaluable as a reference when I was writing this---so thank you! (I made sure to shout you out in the credits)

Welcome! (Btw: reading your blog got me to pick up the new Old World RPG)

Glad you like it! I'm mostly a 40K fan by way of the TTRPGs, so am sticking squarely to my wheelhouse here, ha!

(Is Milton on here, btw?)

(yes please!)

(Very thrilled you like it! Oath of Moment is so good)

"Squire doing the nasty stuff knights don't want to worry about" is exactly the analogue I was thinking of!

"Oh the peasants are suffering from a drought right now? So sad. The castle needs grain. Sort it out"

The Satanic mills, yes!

still regularly go back to the notes and plans I had for my short-lived campaign where the PCs' patron was a Port Commander aboard a hub station for a strategic promethium-rich system, like a Gothic Deep Space Nine; if the game had gone on longer we would've been cooking, tellyawhat

Thank you for the rec! Imma check it out

I don't think I got the exact font---but yes! The opening text for the adventure is me aping the "HMS SURPRISE 28 guns 197 souls N. coast Brazil" opening text in Master & Commander

(is it still inaccessible for you? The internet has been spotty because of a cloud flare outage in Singapore)

I'm surprised how earnest CHAPTER SERF turned out, tbh. I'd thought it would be all jokes and memes.

But why not take it seriously? The peon, the clerk, the mutant, the youth warming a Space Marine's bed---the little people, crushed by grimdark. Why not make a game about them? Subaltern 40K.

3/3

Spent the last two weeks working on this, missing deadlines and not answering messages---but this thing was in my mind like a psychic worm; I just had to get it out, you know?

Am really gratified that it worked for you! Always I try to make sure a TTRPG text both works as usable for play and as a piece of storytelling pleasurable to read ...

coming soon!
