hey so I've been working on a thing for a while:

museumoftheslain.org

A few years back I thought it would be fun to have a made up museum logo for some of my weird little morbid books, as if they were all books in the gift shop of this fictional museum. This fun little joke to myself has now grown into a full on worldbuilding project, The Museum of the Slain.

The museum of the Slain is a museum filled with relics of worlds that have ended. The world is always ending around the museum, and it endures, untouched, collecting the pieces and cataloguing them.

The works bearing the Museum logo (recently reworked by the amazing

@spiremint ) have now grown to include scary clown catalogues, guides to turning yourself into an island, collections of rituals, and guides to exhibitions in the museum itself.

I wanted somewhere to collect all this, and to build the impression of the Museum itself, and it turns out they'll let anyone just buy a dot org url, so I have done that! There's already a guided tour that you can check out, and I have plans for much more!

The museum site also contains a guide for people who want to play in it themselves - if you want to make creative work within the museum, or to incorporate the museum to your own projects, I'd love that! And I made a guide to help you!

It's also worth saying that the other major Museum of the Slain stuff I'm making is over on my patreon, which funds daft endeavours like this! Patrons get access to MOTS stories I make from various solo TTRPGs - we're just about to start one based on my playthrough of Artefact by Jack Harrison!

Prize for reading all this: little bit of art from that upcoming story!
