Peripeteia

@larkmordancy

A blog that could generously be described as a mixed bag. I post original music and board games, as well as writing, Etrian Odyssey, mixed television and anime, and the occasional other fandom. My current musical work can be found at my Bandcamp page. (larkmordancy.bandcamp.com)

I’m still not entirely certain what I just watched.

Happy belated birthday to Solatrus who commissioned a jingle with a kind pledge to my SXSW fundraiser. I asked him what he wanted the song to be about on his birthday, and when he didn’t have anything in mind I made him not one but TWO birthday jingles. This is the boy’s version which is called “You Are the Birthday Boy” and there’s also a girl’s version called “You Are the Birthday Girl”. Sing along with it and say your friend’s name at the end!

Feel free to download both songs, sing them at parties, and re-record them for whatever purposes you like because fuck the guy who has the copyright on “Happy Birthday to You” and all the people he screws over when they want to make a movie with a birthday scene in it. This song is way better.

Just posting some more music experimenting.

Also, to the anon who asked about sheet music, I'm afraid I don't have any for 720413. However, it doesn't deviate much from the originals, so I hope you can find something useful here. Sorry about that!

It's been about two months since I last updated, and twice that long since I posted any music, so this is probably overdue. I've been working on a board game project as well, which I'm hoping to have an actual status report for soon.

There is furthermore a sentence in your letter more fitting for a stupid boy than a bishop. You excommunicated us all if we appointed another bishop to the see of Rome, and yet gave us power to celebrate the mass and ordain clerical functionaries. You said: ‘You have no power to ordain no one.” We always thought, or rather believed, that two negatives make an affirmative, if your authority did not weaken the verdict of the authors of old.

90-odd members of a holy synod assembled by Emperor Otto, making sure to call Pope John XII out for (on top of heresy, murder, adultery, incest, simony, unlawful castration, drunkenness, demon-worship, warmongering, and treason) using a double negative.

A draft for an arrangement of the fifth stratum music from Etrian Odyssey: Lost Shinjuku by Yuzo Koshiro. I fell in love with the original over six years ago and started doing music on account of it. I guess it's still stuck in my head.

If any of you have heard of Summoner Wars, my Problem Sleuth-style fan art of Rallul is now on an official card that you can play with and everything! I am unreasonably excited about this.

And if you haven't heard of Summoner Wars and are looking for a well-crafted card game, by all means check it out! The actual art is amazingly good, too.

I’m proud to announce the rerelease of Tempust, a board game of my own design! It’s got a bit of timing, a bit of tactics, a lot of bad time puns. It’s been a fun process bringing it to this point, and I hope you enjoy it! Please give it a try!

Requires dice, counters, and 8 sheets of paper (cardstock works best).

Well, after avoiding it for the last eight episodes, I finally marathoned the second half of Doctor Who (Season 7). It was pretty interesting, to say the least, and probably better for having seen it all in one go than episodically.
