oh jeez. The Stross effect strikes again.
(TLDR: he's had running issues with trying to write believable yet fictional material for his books, and then the world goes more bonkers on him. Al Qaeda, Brexit, general UK government stuff, it's a knack.)
TTRPG of traversing the horrors of the mind that physically destroy your character's sheet and identity #zinequest2
Do you like zines? TTRPGS? The eventual breakdown of your psyche in the face of abject horror?
Look no further. In Atrocity Archives, you join up with other psyches to enter broken down worlds where the psyche who rules it has gone astray. You must cure or cull, depending on the level of rot in place.
But beware! Damage dealt to your character in this game is dealt to your sheet itself! Can you survive the atrocity, or will you become one instead?
Atrocity Archives - Atrocity Archives -in the web of hell- Atrocity Archives is a zine ttrpg, just 48 pages, and with a simple enough system
And the Atrocity Archives is now live for sale.
This TTRPG zine is just 48 pages, and play sees your group banding together and forming a Cohesion, a group body, to travel into another psyche’s domain and battling, in whatever way you can, the Atrocity that has taken root there. Careful! Damage dealt in this game is dealt right to your character sheet. Cut the paper, wet, it, mark it, burn it. The atrocity wants its pound of flesh.

So, a little ear porn for ya'll. I bought this audiobook on a free pass just for Gideon Emery's voice, but it was a great book, and Emery is an excellent reader who does male and female voices without making you cringe.
The story is a Lovecraftian inspired bureaucratic spy novel. And it's fantastic. And none of my friends have read it, because they are "too busy". I would -love- to have someone to prattle with about this.
So, please, give it a look, try out the audible book or the Kindle copy, or something, it's not a long read and it's -really- fun!

"What was what we call in the trade an Unscheduled Reality Excursion, usually abbreviated to 'Oh Fuck.' "
"Yes, but -"
"What I said earlier We live in an Everett-Wheeler cosmology, all possible parallel universes coexisting. That thing was an agent someone summoned from elsewhere to, um- "
"Fuck with our metabolic viability," she suggests.
I'm adopting that final phrase. I'm going to fuck with your metabolic viability.
