Number One Labyrinth Enjoyer!

I'm here to make a little tabletop RPG. :3

Check out the Zampanio community on Discord - hang out with 24 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

a friendly online community where everyone's obsessed with your writing. yes, you, specifically. we're all waiting to see you flourish. have you spread your wings yet?

just remember to stay hydrated, that obsession is a dangerous thing, and that a reckoning cannot be postponed indefinitely... and then hop in and do some quests. let's make magic, together. :-)

if you've been wondering what zampanio is but you're too intimidated to join, or you have no idea what i'm talking about but you think making art is neat and house of leaves is a masterpiece, we'd love to see you. we'd really love to. we'd love to! it's me, sleepy jump. you love me.

...we here at Iris Entertainment support forging your own path. Be like the little one who forgot its name. Remember, this can be your house, too.

SOME SHMUCK: I love playing Zampanio (1999) it's such a fun game.

THE LABYRINTH ACCURSED: I am now your only mode of transit.

SOME SHMUCK: Oh. If only I'd learned to appreciate Labyrinths better, I would feel so much better about this.

THE HIT TABLETOP RPG UNDER DEVELOPMENT BY IRIS ENTERTAINMENT: well. i have an idea.

SOME SHMUCK: Is that the one and only Zampanio: The TTRPG? My favorite yet to be released game? I am now going to play it.

<ONE PLAY LATER>

THE LABYRINTH ACCURSED: Now I am exactly the same, but you find me charming and quaint.

Regardless, the zeitgeist is shifting...

...some people are seeing it fit to take things into their own hands...

...well, we were going to do the same if when the rot consumed the current torch, before our game and our experiment was done...but you...

...well...

...mmm, keeping the old, in a sense...adapting to the new.

Yeah, I can make this work. Can't recapture the spirit without a little conflict of interests. Can't understand the beast truly without looking in its eye.

And the vector has such lovely new hosts. Why. It'd be a shame to let nothing happen.

[numberonelabyrinthenjoyer]

There's so much old dust on this thing, are we still live?

[numberonelabyrinthenjoyer]

Right...we're still working on the old TTRPG, don't you fret...

[numberonelabyrinthenjoyer]

hiiiiii. you seem familiar. tell us about this game you're making!

Right, Zampanio the TTRPG is meant to encapsulate core values of Zampanio, and allow you to take both development, enactment, and many different folds of the game Zampanio into your own hands!

Features plan to include rulesets for a cryptic community simulation, with or without layers of buried history.

Nested roleplays!

Guidelines for tweaking and hacking things together.

Running that old fashioned game in a TTRPG format, whether it be cursed, normal, or otherwise!

Here at Iris Entertainment, our goal is to put power into your hands, and Zampanio out into the world. Everyone should get the chance to play Zampanio! That's our honest belief. It will likely be a bit until it's done, but our current drafts are promising!

[unpeeled-human]

fucking gotem lmao

[numberonelabyrinthenjoyer]

Happy birthday, Zampanio!

We're still working on the TTRPG at Iris Entertainment, feel free to shoot us a message if you have any questions at all or are interested in hearing more when it's out.

Play safe, have fun, and stay well! You know the drill.

Strange roadside buildings where you shouldn’t ever go.

[hazyscrounger]

zampanio is a bad game and you should not play it

i hate zampanio

[numberonelabyrinthenjoyer]

Honestly, so fair.

So apparently they CAN automate my job 🤔

Chalk is squids road.

All you need in life is a color picker willing to expose you to the unbounded madness we call color vision.

me, absolutely clueless: "I want a color just like this one, but in red" color picker: Fuck you think you are, a Mantis Shrimp? Don't talk to me again until you can afford a wide gamut monitor.

[rnadvillain]

what is even happening here 😨 wheres the circle with the triangle inside we all know and love..

[s-lycopersicum]

The circle and triangle are a lie we tell ourselves to cope with the ugly reality... Now this-- this is the real deal!

In seriousness, this is oklch.com, a color picker for the OKLCH color model.

There are whole several hour lectures one could take in color science and theory, but to keep it short: the set of colors we can see, the set of colors monitors can display, and the set of colors computers can model are three circles that only somewhat overlap.

In this case, if I wanted this color

but in red, I could just go of Photoshop and move over the hue slider, getting this as a result:

Which is.. acceptable, but not as "bright" and "vibrant" as the green I had. Looking at the graphs in the OKLCH color picker, we can figure out why:

It tells us that a red with the same luminosity and chroma as this green is out of gamut—that is, it cannot be displayed by this monitor.

In this case, you can use the edges of the graph to find the color that is closest to what you want. You can, for example, keep the chroma but sacrifice lightness,

keep the lightness but drop the chroma,

or a bit of both, which is what the common HSV triangles already do.

But I like to know when it happens, y'know?

werewolf transformations and magical girl transformations swapped

[kragehund-est]

"s-stay back! the change... i can't control it!" *horrifying transformation sequence of bones cracking and flesh rearranging, hair growing out, ribbons and flashy jewelry bursting forth from skin, screaming in agony*

alternatively,

"In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" *lifted up in a rainbow beam of glittering magic. each part of the body bathed in dazzling light before revealing sharp glistening claws, long fangs, and a dark shaggy coat.*

[pangur-and-grim]

imagining a guy who sees unspeakable lovecraftian horrors and just shrugs it off because “i already assumed things were like that. an infinitely large universe with unspeakable ancient evils? yeah I mean sure, I assumed. no i don’t need to see the horrors again, I just…..yeah. yeah, I assumed.”
