November 29, 2023

How can I describe the experience of finding Envy's The Fallen Crimson ?  It is
currently night-time in Lawrence, Kansas. I have spent something like
17-and-a-half hours awake, divided between going to class, reviewing statistics
for an exam on Thursday, and getting shit done for grad school applications. My
energy is at a low; the tiredness is melding with the natural decline in
Adderall density in my bloodstream, and the math-induced headache is making
thinking difficult. There's a guy behind me, in my scholarship hall's study
room, that has been playing ARK: Survival Evolved  (by himself, but very loudly)
for some two hours, now. This confounding variable does not facilitate my work.
I have taken breaks, but they were limited. One time, earlier today, I worked on
some ideas for my short story anthology project; the other time, I got three
BUCK-TICK albums queued up on Apple Music to try to find some favorite tracks to
add to a "BUCK-TICK Bangers" playlist. Late

November 28, 2023
Rain and storm, dark night. Herculean winds crashed against the shabby windows
of an apartment in a seedy complex, whose painted walls were damp and chipped.
Each time thunder struck, the whole place shook under the vibrations; it was a
terrible home, abandoned-like and decrepit. Every other week, some new critter
would show up — a rat, a roach, ants, or flies, didn’t matter. Vermin, in a
word.  And her. She was a small girl, and poor. Her parents had passed in an
accident soon after she got into college, and the money had been slim since
then. Getting her degree — a BS in computer engineering — was a tough ride:
although her performance was good enough to earn her a couple scholarships, she
still was only barely able to sustain herself in one of the world’s most
expensive megalopoleis. Still, that time came and went; now, she was a software
engineer for a “unique” gaming company, so to say. Pay wasn’t good, and working
conditions were tough. Her most common dinner was ten-dollar pizza

A QUICK REVIEW OF "A RED & PLEASANT LAND" (ZAK S., 2014)

November 25, 2023
  (Reposted from Goodreads. Originally posted on Aug. 19, 2023.) A Red &
Pleasant Land is a strange, beautiful piece of art. Its illustrations are raw
and evocative, utilizing rough linework and vivid colors to really impress upon
the reader the symbolism of the characters and world they represent; the
language, though simple, never fails to bring about a solid mental image that is
infinitely fascinating and a true wellspring of ideas from which to create
interesting tabletop - or even literary - material. The reason I refrain from
giving this book five stars is more of a practical one than a technical one; it
is not a good gaming supplement, full stop. Yes, the ideas herein are great
inspiration for writing and worldbuilding, but as a supplement designed to be a
toolkit for running adventures and campaigns in, it is messy and faulty. It
comes with a few good random tables, and some seeds of ideas to integrate into a
world, but otherwise lacks... everything. Variety, direction, e
